[MOC] Mini jedi defender-class cruiser

[pihlbrick]

I'm a huge fan of the 75025 Jedi defender-class cruiser, but haven't bought it yet. However I got the idea to build a mini version of it, since the "head" of it so fittingly resembled two 2x3wings.

Please comment. To be more accurate it needs a one stud spacing between the front wings, and maybe it should be in dark red, instead of bright red, but I don't have the bricks for that :)

Edit: I added another version where I've switched around the mid wings, to make them align more with the center cylinders.

Really nice micro-model :thumbup:

A nice model. The sizes of the defender is quite hard to recreate at this scale. It seems to be popular as many people (including me) have tried to recreate it in mini-scale.

Thanks Lobot, but I just couldn't do that from my phone, but I will edit the post later on :)

Bob de quatre, do you have link to your mini scale? Haven't seen any other :?

Very cool miniature model!

I like the engines, a good technique for a ship this small .

[pihlbrick]

Thank you for all the comments. I just added a 2nd set of pictures with updated mid wing design. :) ( Considering getting the real thing on shop.lego.com)...

Nice rendition in micro scale especially the engines.

[pihlbrick]

So after I built the larger scale white/blue defender I figured I had to build a small version to fit the red one.

Big brother and the two mini's.

All by it self.

Now all I have to do is build the real 75025 which is patiently awaiting in my storage room :)

Nice family picture

But I think the radar dish (on the microscale) is too big, it looks better without.

I sadly agree. It is way too big,
