Kozikyo86 Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Hi! I want to show you my new project - First Order Xi-Class Light Shuttle from Last Jedi movie! Minifigures scale, now 1070 parts, 50% complete. now, LDD project, but after designing, I'll make real model and instruction. How do you like it? Any sugestions? Quote
Ellisss_2 Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Looking good, I like the engine intake area. I can see you're a fan of the New Republic era, I'd love to see you build from another era! Quote

I don't know the old republic very well and I don't have any sets. And renders I made in LDD because Stud.Io has some problems with many parts, I don't know why Quote
DomMk Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Ah, that's a good one! I'd be interested in building that. Looks roughly in scale, too; is it? I'm guessing wings don't move (and that they shouldn't). Quote

Iperial_Fleet_Commander Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 Looks good. I frankly don't remember seeing it though. Been a while since I watched 8, I was marathoning the whole series with TV shows, and then CW season 7 was announced, so I've definitely been watching more prequel era content. Any reference photos?

It's most visible in the hanger room scene on the Supremacy from what I remember. It's later crashed by Finn and Rose when they escape to Crait. Quote

Kozikyo86 Posted August 18, 2018 Author Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Next step! 1274 parts on board! :) Edited August 18, 2018 by Kozikyo86 Quote
DomMk Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 Nice work! :) I'm excited for this. How does it fare on scale – is it "true" minifig scale or slightly smaller? Quote

Thanks! Probably minifig scale, maybe +/- 10% difference ;) I checked all photos and screenshots from movie Quote
Kozikyo86 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Posted August 22, 2018 Probably new design of canopy with easy opening system. How do you like it? :) Quote
Cylo Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 Nice! Looks really movie accurate! Somehow reminds me of the v-19s though, the back and the wings Quote
Kit Bricksto Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 Hi there, I really like where this is going. Not many MOCs of this ship out there so far. I think I prefer the smoothness and size of the first cockpit version. Do you think you could fit the opening mechanism to that bigger cockpit piece? It'd be a shame to loose that mechanism. I assume this won't fit more than the two pilot figures? Some more interior would be great but the structure for the wings always takes up a lot of space with this kind of shuttle and yours does look very well designed. Keep up the great work and keep us posted! :) Quote

I'll try to make another version... soon :) I'll add some space on back of this shuttle and maybe some place for BB droid units :) Quote
barneius Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 I really think that version with 10 studs wide glass piece looks more accurate. I would definitely use some stickers for that. Lego does that, why wouldn't you. Great job so far by the way ;) Quote
Kozikyo86 Posted August 25, 2018 Author Posted August 25, 2018 First Order Xi-Class Light Shuttle is ready!!! :) after few weeks of designing in LDD my new project is ready! Now it's time to checking my parts and make few orders on Bricklink. I use uncommon windscreen - 2x10x3 number of part 24607 on Bricklink - probably there exist only in Mini Cooper 10242 set (trans-black color) - 1261 parts! - Minifigures scale! (probably ) - 2 First Order Crew - 1 Cargo or BB-9E unit Soon on my YouTube more about this project :) How you like it? :) Quote
Kozikyo86 Posted September 18, 2018 Author Posted September 18, 2018 My Xi-Class Shuttle is ready! 1259 parts! Quote
Kommander Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 Hello Kozikyo! I like your Lego version of the shuttle. Wonderful lines and the cockpit as simple as it is, really makes a nice appearance. Good job! Greetings Kommander Quote
