The Neighborhood Merchant Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) 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...

danth Posted September 28, 2020 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Neighborhood Merchant Posted September 28, 2020 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Making something actually reconfigure with LEGO is pretty darn hard. I've tried, and usually give up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Neighborhood Merchant Posted September 29, 2020 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
