Legostein Posted September 4, 2010 Hello everyone! After a busy week, it's my pleasure to share the latest mini model with you. Among the new ship types of the Clone Wars animated TV series you will also find the so-called Republic Light Cruiser (reference link). This is a small cruiser, way smaller than the Venator and Acclamator. The design is kind of a hybrid bewteen a Venator (general wedge shape) and Consular Space Cruiser (engine block). It appears in the episode "Grievous Intrigue" (second season). The bricked model was a bit tricky as there's a gap in the wedge shape in the front section. Furthermore the wedge tips are very sharp in the front. Thus, the most convenient method was to create it with slopes attached in snotty fashion instead of using wedge plates. Here are the images. As always, click on the images to get all views plus the instructions. That's it for today. Thanks for stepping by and enjoy your week-end! Yours Christopher.

Legostein Posted September 4, 2010 Hello! You're ultra quick today! I always like using those clickit rings when I have engines that are between 1 and 2 studs in width, like for the minifig head as engine. You'll find this technique on several models of the collection. See you around, ~ Christopher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThatGuyWithTheBricks Posted September 4, 2010 Nice! Although maybe if you put another trans blue stud, it would look even better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheWarden Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) Ahhhh, every time I see Clickits, it reminds me I want some. /runs to Bricklink But I know nothing about them, what pieces can be used on studs, dimensions, etc. Is there a Clickets MOC AFOL'er guide or something? Ahem. Sorry for that. Back on the topic at hand... This is quite nice, and looks good to the source material. The use of minifig heads and the "rail" plate is novel. That and the... CLICKETS! EDIT: I'll probably say over there too, but thanks to the comments on my recent MOC. Edited September 4, 2010 by TheWarden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Legonater Posted September 4, 2010 Great, now I have a growing urge for Clickets. That's a really nice mini. I still haven't seen this episode, but I still like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brickfoot Posted September 4, 2010 Very nice model. I love how all of you models have so much detail in so little space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XimenaPaulina Posted September 5, 2010 Another great mini Legostein, the model looks really sleek and the white color scheme with dark red highlights looks very clean and regal. I agree the use of the clickit parts and the dark red minifig heads are very effective for the thrusters. Impressive job as always. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ceroknight Posted September 5, 2010 That is very cool, and I like the interesting use of clickets..my sister might have some... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am watching that episode right now and it's right at the part with Grievous's and Obi's duel on it's bridge Anyways nice job on this I really like the technique you used with the clickets piece a lot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legostein Posted September 6, 2010 Hello! Thank you everyone for the nice comments! I am glad you appreciate new building ideas like incorporating the clickit rings. It was not the first time for this model, and Belville flowers have already been used, too. See you around! ~ Christopher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CommanderFox Posted September 7, 2010 Funnily enough as soon as I saw that episode I new you would do a Mini based on that ship, and here it is! Spot on as usual! I really like those clicket pieces as part of the engines. Nice job! I wish TLC would make this ship into a set with the characters from the episode in it!
