TheGeneralMoe Posted February 10, 2018 This is my upscale Imperial Shuttle, not quite mini figure scale, but close. I have finally built it after my original UCS set was in many pieces, something i regret not finishing as i was going through my "lego dark age" when i received it. The shuttle can fit one figure in the head and around 6 in the main body. The ramp extends down and has enough headspace for a mini figure to stand under it. The landing gear is retractable, and can also be mounted on a stand. The only issue with this design is that i underestimated the strength of the gear system. The wings are heavier then expected, thus the gear box can't lower and raise the wings with out carful assistance. It is strong enough to hold the wings in place, however. Perhaps when i feel brave in the future i will modify it and add an extra 2 gear boxes to strengthen it. More photos on my Flickr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sucram Posted February 12, 2018 that looks awesome, i suggest you build the wings SNOT, like on the UCS. it will look 10x better. also isnt the cockpit meant to taper in? fabulous either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
r4canine Posted February 18, 2018 I like your approach to the rounded edges of that cockpit, overall looks like a really good model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stormtroopercaptain Posted February 18, 2018 I like it a lot. looks very much like the screen version. And you have tons of space inside for minifigs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
