[MOC] T-47 Airspeeder

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

First post here. This is my T-47 MOC

It's an original design, but of course I was inspired by previous custom T-47s, such as Larry Lars', FlyingWaffle's and Brickdoctor's. The T-47 is possibly my favorite Star Wars vehicle, so I always wanted to make my own, and I'm very happy with the final result.

I hope you like it!

Looks great! A lot of these details and techniques remind me of the UCS model, but somehow you crammed it all into a ship a fraction of the size!

Yeah the 2017 UCS version was another clear inspiration for me. Most notable is how the bottom flaps connect to the body, and the upside-down panels below the wings.

Looks fantastic! Nice attention to detail. It's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful rendition of the T-47.

Is this minifig scale? Maybe a little too large for that? Obviously you need some space to fit all those movable bits.

Thanks :)

It's probably about 1.25x minifig scale I'd guess. It's honestly hard to tell, since minifig proportions are very skewed, and capturing the proportions 1:1 is nigh on impossible.

Really nice, I've been wanting to add a T-47 to my collection, I might just have to build yours!

 

Thanks! I made sure the model is really sturdy while being as accurate as I could manage.
