TristanJones Posted November 17, 2014 Has anyone tried making the ships from this movie? A lot of model images are starting to surface. Over at LEGOIDEAS.COM, a gentleman has made a 511 piece ENDURANCE space craft--quite ingenious. I would love to see if anyone has tried to accomplish a minifig scale RANGER, LANDER and ENDURANCE. Has anyone tried or started? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zerobricks Posted November 17, 2014 Not yet, but the movie rocks! I dare someone to build SPOILER -> the 5 dimensional room at the end!<-SPOILER Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apollo VI Posted November 23, 2014 I'm working on a minifig-scale version of the Ranger. It's very tough because of shallow sloping shape of the vehicle. It's not very well-suited for Lego. In my opinion, it's the same issue that a lot of Star Trek ship MOCs run into, and a the primary reason why the Cuusoo BTTF DeLorean's hood was so off-putting. Gentle slopes are difficult to capture in a blocky medium with a limited slope part selection. On top of that you've got all of those window details on the Ranger. You're simply not going to be able to brick-build those details on such a small scale (my ranger is shaping up to be roughly 10 x 24 right now). So the method I settled on was to build the ship around a large windscreen and use stickers to fill in those window details. The UCS X-Wing/Benny's Spaceship windscreen seems to fit the job quite well. It's not the best solution because I generally hate stickers, but it's the only satisfying solution I could come up with. I'll post my final build with I finish it! Hopefully I can make some good progress on MLCAD tonight and tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
commodore_legolas Posted December 8, 2014 I've built a TARS. I could post an image if anyone cared to see it. I'm working on a minifig-scale version of the Ranger. I can't wait to see it! Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
