"Mia loves animals, and to visit her little friends, she uses a Manta shuttle."

So yes I can build small ships :sweet:... But only at 2AM when I can't sleep :look:

And here is the lxf file

Edit: Added a cockpit closeup and edited the pics

Pretty clever how you made the shape match that of a manta ray :thumbup: The color scheme is very fitting for a Friends shuttle. Nice touch with the headlights :classic:

Thanks Soccerkid6. It's not really a manta ray shape, but I had a ray shape in mind when building... and as I love manta ray, I had to name it after.

Btw it seems you stopped building sci-fi and got back to castel (with your amazing little brother) ? :wink:

Like the other Friends one, this is really cute. I hope they have some type of phone feature so they aren't texting while driving. :tongue:

Oooh! Another one! And this is very nice too. :sweet:

I like that it's a mechanical representation of something organic, and that fits so well with Mia's animal-loving nature. I know it's a spaceship, but it looks so aquatic, especially with the cool blue and aqua highlights, and of course the organic shape, and that makes it very cool. This is such a lovely little ship, and I really like what you've done with the small interior too. :wub:

Keep 'em coming! :grin:

The canopy combo works great, I don't think the 6x6 dishes exist in transparant color in real, or do they?

Thanks Pandora. I built it this night between 1AM and 2AM, so I didn't wrote a backstory, but I choose Mia as she is the animal-loving one and tried to get her colors, blue and green, but the green didn't worked well. I thought of the shuttle being capable of flying in space and air and also able to go underwater :classic:

I spent some time on the interior, as the build is really simple with only 104 parts. It's really too bad that the friends minifig aren't available in LDD :sceptic:

I made sure that the windscreen, the 6x6 dish and the 1x2 brick existed in the same transparent color. There are some parts don't come in the color I used them, but I wanted to be sure that the canopy parts were available if maybe someone wanted to build it in real bricks. :wink:
