[MOC] Man of War (Slug Cruiser from FTL)

[Iguanotron]

I built a microscale version of this ship from FTL a few months back, but I haven't gotten around to posting it anywhere yet, so here you go: the Man of War, Slug Cruiser layout 'A.'

Wow, you aced a difficult design, Well done!

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

Wow!

So little and so complex! :wub:

[Iguanotron]

Thanks! This is probably my best MOC yet and it turned out surprisingly well. Also the first I planned out in LDD before building IRL. Wish I could have uploaded pictures sooner. Any feedback is appreciated!

That looks really good, even the studs on top match the design of the in game version.

Wow! Recreating that design with that level of details is already quite a feat, but especially at this size/ scale.. Beautiful!

[The Mugbearer]

Looks better than mine for sure. =P

[Rayskull]

amazing!

Im addicted to this game!

[RoastPotato]

Impressive! You've nailed it.

[Forresto]

Wow! That is surprisingly spot on! I love FTL and I never thought of making lego versions of the ship. You should consider making more ships from the game, especially since I don't think there are many MOCs of the game out there on the web. You would have prominence.

As far as I know Iguanotron's Man of War is a second instance of FTL MOCs. The first one being mine. Maybe you've heard of a LEGO CUUSOO (aka LEGO IDEAS) project that hit 10k supporters but was not picked for production. Well, it was my project.

I'm coming out of a dark age so this is relatively new to me. I just looked it up and your Kestrel and lineup was excellent. That really sucks it didn't get picked as the mini figures alone would have been fantastic.

Awesome detail on such a little ship. Also you nailed getting the original ships shape down pat. Great work.

[FonsoSac]

Great job! I like the use of the gaps beetwen parts to make the model more accurate at this size.
