Just an advance pic of my newest MOC, the Imperial Lambda class shuttle!

This build is 100% minifigure scale and larger than the UCS version, with a fully detailed interior - featuring seating for 6 in the cockpit + 20 passengers  in the main hold, retractable boarding ramp, retractable landing gear, armory with 20 guns, an E-Web repeating blaster canon, toilet and more... all of the "official" features that I could find. 

I'll be posting some properly detailed pics from every angle soon and then I'll get to work on building it digitally and instructions!

We are indebted to you for your bravery, @Evilkirk

Judging by that picture and knowing of your previous builds, this is, like, the ultimate Lambda shuttle. I bet it's very accurate to the ILM model. I also hope that it has got retractable landing gear...

Thank you! I've been studying that ILM model verrry closely... and yes, retractable landing gear is definitely included 👌

Overall, it's fantastic, but there is still room for improvement. The Emperor's shuttle as it appears in ROTJ lacks any tan detailing on its wings. It also has some grey accents on the cooling intakes. Pic for reference:

Ah yes, my original model is just a vanilla Lambda shuttle, so I just slapped some grey on the front for this fun pic - colour of the accents will be easy to change later when I take some better pics, as it's only Lego :)

Fantastic build, missing a UCS Lambda in my collection. I particularly like the stand! 

Thanks! I'll hopefully be posting a whole bunch of detailed pics soon - and then I need to recreate it digitally before making instructions - glad you like the stand too :)

Damn.
You have achieved what others could not - that is, the best looking cockpit design to date in my opinion.  I have lost count of how many reference images I studied in an attempt to find a way to build that very tricky nose design in LEGO.  Meanwhile, I am losing hope that TLG will release a fresh UCS version any time soon - so I will patiently await your build instructions!
Great work, this looks amazing!  Thanks for posting, can't wait for more images.

Thanks very much, I'm guessing that we both studied those same reference images! I decided right at the start that if I couldn't get the cockpit shape right, then it wasn't worth my time and effort working on the rest of the ship - and around 18 months ago I found a solution that I was happy with - and it's taken me all this time to finish it! :classic:

10 million pics coming soon, taken from every angle, interior and exterior, landing and flight modes... I'm working on it 🙂
