[MOC] Space Police Pursuer SPJ-2 / Skull Twin Convict Ship

[The Neighborhood Merchant]

After years of being on the run, the skull twins are finally apprehended by the SPJ-2. With their ship downed, the twins fought with all their might to secure their freedom. Blaster lasers pierce the sky and smoke fills the air. The smoke clears, the victor is decided. Out comes...

The back of the ship tiles can easily be exchanged to decide the owner of the ship.

The ship can split into two, for multi-pursuit situations, or for the twins to cause more crime if they steal it!

Neat!  Fun concept, and some good Space Police vibes there.

Very cool! I like how the ship uses the minifig color scheme.

I'm trying to figure out where the second wing comes from when the ship splits into two.

[The Neighborhood Merchant]

Thanks @danth, great to hear from you! The ship was actually originally built for just the twins, but I realized the color scheme matched up exactly with the old space police, so I just had to include them.

 

As for the wings, unfortunately, with the separating feature, I had no extra room for them on the ship, so I just have two spare wings on hand to attach to the studs that normally connect the ship. I suppose for a canon approach you can just believe they expand outward once it disconnects.

Ah, cool. Well, the splitting gimmick is cool enough. Making something actually reconfigure with LEGO is pretty darn hard. I've tried, and usually give up!

Thanks, @danth! I completely agree, it can be very difficult at times to make certain builds modular with their dimensions, luckily this one was easy. Sometimes I just sit in stud.io for hours with a brain fart, not being able to think of anything.
