[MOC] The Arbelon - Sentry Class Patrol Cruiser

Hey guys,

I'm also grabbing the opportunity to post a few of my recent mocs from the SW Factions RPG.

The Arbelon is an original ship design and now asset of the Flame of Zhar syndicate in the game.

Lovely ship, just to nitpick a little, something about it feels like it belongs to another genre of sci-fi rather than Star Wars. Maybe it is the trans-clear cockpit, dunno.

I could see it easily fitting in the Stargate universe, but I think it ticks enough boxes to be at home in SW too.

Thanks! It's in service for a while now and already survived a fierce space battle (in my story at Factions). A fine ship.

And yes, I get your point on the design. Maybe it helps that the ship's in the same scale as the midi-Falcon so it ain't a cockpit but a bridge window. You'd need to imagine a whole crew behind it.

The ship's inspired by real world submarines and CIS warships, the latter also having these elevated bridges - cf. the Munificent class. But this one is much smaller, not even Corvette size. 

I like to build my recent midi ships from the Falcon as a size reference. The little Lego statues serve well as stand-ins for size comparison. Here a model comparison:

The one in the middle is a container barge:

Excellent work and great scale comparison with the Millennium Falcon to understand the exact proportions!
