[MOC] Imperial T-4a Lambda Class Shuttle

[Evilkirk]

The ultimate Imperial Shuttle Lego MOC: The Sienar T-4a Lambda Class. 
Two years of meticulous building, design, redesign and re-build - and now she's finally here!

3 different sets of instructions have been prepared for this ship - and every buyer will have access to all 3 models - available on Rebrickable.

The Imperial Lambda Class Shuttle, 5420 parts.

These elegant transports were the workhorse of the Empire; initially used for transporting Imperial officials and officers around the galaxy - and in later days as these shuttles became more common, they were often used as simple troop transports and even light cargo ships. Lord Vader himself was known to use a Lambda Class Shuttle - and this was also the same design as the famous Shuttle Tydirium, which was stolen by the Rebels and used to transport the Endor strike team in Return of the Jedi. 
There are various floor-plans out there for this ship, but I chose the official design which makes most sense to me + it was the layout used in the "Incredible Cross Sections" book which featured this ship. It's as close as I could get it whilst using Lego, although you will have to allow me some 'poetic license' here and there :)

I've also designed an "empty" display version, with no interior and 4817, perfect just for display or modding with your own interior design! ...and then, there's the Emperor's private shuttle, which I'll be posting separately 

There's a choice of 2 display stands for showing the ship in flight mode - both are FREE downloads available on my Rebrickable page.

Lastly, I’d just like to add that personally, this was always more than just a Lego creation.
It's a Lego brick-built replica of what is, to me, the single most elegant and beautiful ship in all of Star Wars. This is something that I've dreamed of making since I was a kid in the 70's - and now it's time to share it with others.

I don't think I have the words to describe just how good this is. This could have been used as a model in the original films and people would not have been able to tell it was lego. The shaping is immaculate, the interior detailing even more so. The small hatch to access the maintenance compartment is a neat addition that really shows off the detail and scale of the model as a whole.

Thank you so much - making it fit the correct amount of minifigures and 'not looking like Lego' were always top priority for me! I'm glad you like it :)
