[MOC] MG-100 Bomber (1:250 Scale)

[AfolFree]

Hi everyone,

This is my take on TLJ's Resistance Bomber, in 1:250 which means it should fit perfectly (timeline put aside) with a certain Nebulon B and the rest of the Rebel fleet.
Please excuse the poor lighting of the pictures, I don't really have a good setup yet.

Front-side, with 2 X-Wings to escort the beast :

Rear-side, show-casing the 6 engines and back turrets :

Yep, 6 engines ! I saw some artworks with only five, but the movie does not lie :

As for the turrets, there should be two guns but at this scale every solution I had was way too massive, so I went for a mini-figure hand, which gives us technically only one gun but a decent scale in my opinion.

 

Finally, a big thanks to @Azrielsc for testing and correcting the early versions of my LXF file !
You're welcome to PM me if you want to get your hands on the LXF, I'll be happy to share.

Looks really good, I particularly like how you did the ball turrets, that's some very nice attention to detail there. 

As for the timeline, well, the New Republic used them during the last year of the Galactic Civil War, so it can work.

What a great build and use of pieces! How amazing would it be to have a fleet of these displayed advancing towards a First Order Dreadnought...

Oh, no! Another Star Wars MOC with those hard-to-find screw drivers! They do make great guns though, don't they! That's a super model and will be a great addition to the 1/250th scale fleet.

For the double turrets do you think you could turn the stud with the ball joint upside down and use these instead?

for the canopy, and for the turret.

Would that work? I don't have that piece so I can't test it.

Yup, they are a pain to find (though I'm starting to have quite a lot in spare since I order them everytime I get the opportunity).

It works, I believe there actually was a smaller MG-100 MOC which used this technic.
I did not go that way because the binoculars are bigger than the maxifig hand and the trans-clear round plate, making the gun look (a lot) bigger than the bubble :D

Oh good to know, I felt a bit bad about adding it to my rebel fleet !

Thanks @AfolFree for allowing me to test out this fun small build!

I built this with whatever I have so mine's a little bit different. Guess I can post the photo now.

Sure, I just sent it to you by PM.
For anyone else interested, just PM me and beware, it is a stud.io file and not an lxf :)

Hey man, currently building up a 1/250th fleet and adding some heavy bombers would be awesome. So i was wondering if you could send me the stud.io file. Thanks man, and great build!
