Krennic's mini ? Shuttle

[FTG Prime]

Hello everyone !

I think it's no surprise that i am pumped  to see Rogue One TONIGHT ! I've been waiting for the movie since it was announced, and a specific group of people have caught my atenttion ever since day 1: the Death Squad, i just love the idea, looks, and function of Krennic's special team, and Krennic himself, and it has grown after reading Catalyist.

I am a sucker for SW's shuttles, unfortunally most of the TLG's sets and MOC's are huuuge since they are in minifig scale (or close to it) and i don´t have the space to display them, i still wanted to make Krennic's shuttle since i am in love with the ship so i thought "Why not do it in a mini-midi scale ?" and that's what i did.

Now i could be wrong of this being on the mini scale, but to be honest i don't know in which scale this fits 

I gotta say that it was hard to recreate this ship in this scale (specially since i wanted to keep the wing folding, landing gears and ramp  in the final model) and while not perfect i am really happy with the result since i think i re-created it fairly well.

This Shuttle has some interesting and sharp angles that were definetly a challenge while building it, but i think it came out looking quite well,,, atleast it's recognizable 

Moving to the back, i had no idea of how i was going to do the enginee of the ship, it finally ocured to me to use clips and grilled tiles to get the look of the enginee, the rest was pretty simple to do so i'm not gonna get into it lol

i am very happy that i was able to pull of this mode, you can't see it very well here but the model is sitting on it's landing gears along with the retractible boarding ramp, this wing-folding function was very difficult to re-create due to the size i decided to build the model on, as a consecuence of this the wings're waaaat thicker than i'd like to, but what are you gonna do.... 
I am still pleased wih the result.
 

And that's pretty much it, thank you guys so much for taking the time to read this, i really hope you like this little thing, i am very happy to anounce that the instructions (this means the PDF & LDD files) will be up by Friday for free !! they will be posted here so keep an eye out for that 

May the force be with you !

Unfortunately the site tells me the pics are no longer available...

Check out the LEGO Star Wars 2017 Pictures and Rumors Thread. We are getting a microfighter Krennic's Shuttle next year. :)

Oh, went to your flickr and saw (no pun intended.. get it, Saw Gerrera? Never mind.) the MOC. Very nice for its scale!

And yeah, I don't like the Krennic's Shuttle microfighter either.

Hey guys !

So here ya go the instructions...

But first here are some stuff that i could't do and that you want to amke sure you do so here ya go ! :

You might've noticed the two clips on the back and the two Trans Blue Grille Tiles, you basiclly want them to look like this.

For the Trans black slope assembly it's pretty sel explanatory 

For the cheese slope with a blue pin assembly do this process:

And do this process for the 1x4 tile with blue pins:

 

 

So there you go guys i hope that helps and i'm looking forward to seeing your models !!! If you have any questions feel free to ask:
