The ultimate Imperial Shuttle Lego MOC: The Sienar T-4a Lambda Class. Two years of meticulous building, design, redesign and re-build - and now she's finally here! 3 different sets of instructions have been prepared for this ship - and every buyer will have access to all 3 models - available on Rebrickable. The Imperial Lambda Class Shuttle, 5420 parts. These elegant transports were the workhorse of the Empire; initially used for transporting Imperial officials and officers around the galaxy - and in later days as these shuttles became more common, they were often used as simple troop transports and even light cargo ships. Lord Vader himself was known to use a Lambda Class Shuttle - and this was also the same design as the famous Shuttle Tydirium, which was stolen by the Rebels and used to transport the Endor strike team in Return of the Jedi. There are various floor-plans out there for this ship, but I chose the official design which makes most sense to me + it was the layout used in the "Incredible Cross Sections" book which featured this ship. It's as close as I could get it whilst using Lego, although you will have to allow me some 'poetic license' here and there :) I've also designed an "empty" display version, with no interior and 4817, perfect just for display or modding with your own interior design! ...and then, there's the Emperor's private shuttle, which I'll be posting separately There's a choice of 2 display stands for showing the ship in flight mode - both are FREE downloads available on my Rebrickable page. Lastly, I’d just like to add that personally, this was always more than just a Lego creation. It's a Lego brick-built replica of what is, to me, the single most elegant and beautiful ship in all of Star Wars. This is something that I've dreamed of making since I was a kid in the 70's - and now it's time to share it with others.

The Emperor's Private Shuttle, 5347 parts. For those who missed my other post with the standard Lambda Class Shuttle - I've made 3 different sets of instructions and all buyers have access to all 3 designs: The Emperor's shuttle + a standard Lambda Class Shuttle + and empty shuttle with no interior. The main external differences that marked His Imperial Majesty's personal ship from standard Fleet shuttles, were the simple grey stripe that runs down the middle of the cockpit and the lack of any colouring on the wings and dorsal fin. Inside it, however, is a bit of a mystery. The only scrap of info I could find, described there being "2 rows of plush purple seating"... now I doubt very much that the Emperor of the whole Galaxy ever sat in such 'bus style' seats, so I gave him his own private office at the rear and left the purple seating for his evil-looking advisors/courtiers who we saw disembarking from the Emperor's shuttle on the 2nd Death Star. I've also designed 2 display stands for showing the ship in flight mode - both are FREE downloads available on my Rebrickable page. Lastly, I’d just like to add that personally, this was always more than just a Lego creation. It's a Lego brick-built replica of what is, to me, the single most elegant and beautiful ship in all of Star Wars. This is something that I've dreamed of making since I was a kid in the 70's - and now it's time to share it with others. Whether you’re just here to admire the pics, or if you’re planning to build it for yourself, I really do hope that you’ll enjoy my dream build.

This is my upscale Imperial Shuttle, not quite mini figure scale, but close. I have finally built it after my original UCS set was in many pieces, something i regret not finishing as i was going through my "lego dark age" when i received it. The shuttle can fit one figure in the head and around 6 in the main body. The ramp extends down and has enough headspace for a mini figure to stand under it. The landing gear is retractable, and can also be mounted on a stand. The only issue with this design is that i underestimated the strength of the gear system. The wings are heavier then expected, thus the gear box can't lower and raise the wings with out carful assistance. It is strong enough to hold the wings in place, however. Perhaps when i feel brave in the future i will modify it and add an extra 2 gear boxes to strengthen it. More photos on my Flickr.

A long, long time ago I started working on a micro scale Millennium Falcon. To begin with all I wanted to do was add detail to the Microfighter but I kept tinkering and before I knew it I had a growing collection of micro Star Wars freighters and fighters, and here they are! Instructions for all these little builds are on my Rebrickable page. Since this all started with that Falcon Microfighter the cockpit piece (a light blueish-grey 2x2 truncated cone) became my yardstick for scale. Luckily trans-black 1x1 slope pieces work as fighter cockpits at the same scale so all the ships are, and will continue to be, as close to scale with each other as I can manage, at least based on these pieces and whatever reference images I can gather from Google. My Blockade Runner (April 2021) is the last ship on my micro Star Wars to-do list, although it’s hardly micro! The size and weight were a new challenge for me, I’ve never had to worry about a moc falling apart under its own weight before, but I enjoyed the challenge and managed to make it pretty easy to pick strong. I’ve put together instructions for the Tantive IV as well as the Liberator from Star Wars Rebels, which I couldn’t resist building for myself. Rather than doing new posts for each new ship I’ll edit the very long post below. All the instructions are on my Rebrickable page and there are photos and Studio renders some photos of the ships in this post, plus a few more on Flickr and Instagram. Thanks for looking!

Guys, Some of you may remember my AT-AT model, some of you may know my Lambda shuttle and some of you may even have heard these were crucial parts of my crazy idea called Project:Endor. Well, it's done. Thirteen years ago I started working on a virtual LEGO model of the Imperial Shuttle. It took me 6 months. Then I spent another year building it with real bricks. And when it was completed, I heard - from LEGO designer Adam Grabowski, whom some of you may know as Misterzumbi - that maybe I could build a small scene for that model. Well, I took the idea to my heart - as you can see today ;) . As time went by, my shuttle became set 10212, over 1 meter tall trees grew up one by one and the platform slowly took shape. Ultimately, "the small scene" became some 200 kg of bricks, set upon 48 baseplates. I have no idea how many bricks are in it. Fortunately, neither has my Wife ;) . I won't bore you with minutiae - if you have any questions (about electric functions, details or anything else), just shoot. In this gallery you can find a photographic history of Project: Endor - pics of the finished project can be found, of course, at the very end. In time, there will be more of them; they just need editing. Also, I'm slowly working on a movie presentation but that will take quite a while, since some of the mechanisms were damaged during recent exhibition. Have a good time watching the pics and please, feel free to leave comments if you wish. 072 - Seriously happy by Maciej Szymański, on Flickr 077 - Endor by night by Maciej Szymański, on Flickr

IMHO, the Imperial Shuttle is one of the best spaceships in the OT (what makes it one of the best of SW in general), and UCS is its ULTIMATE recreation of it. I start with this stash (bricklinked before for MOCs): 5x White Slope 55 6 x 1 x 5 6x White Slope 75 2 x 1 x 3 And I have ordered 1141 pieces, for 85€ (shipping included). My main objetive is to get the ship under 0,10c/p. I'm open (and really really needy ) to advices.

I designed this microfighter plus-scale Lambda T-4A class Imperial Shuttle for an upcoming Star Wars event and I thought I would share it with the Lego Star Wars community. You can download the Lego Digital Designer file via my site link here: https://humblebricks.com/star-wars/. Features hinged wings, fully retractable landing gears and an open cockpit seat for one pilot (as a customary microfighter feature).

You can download that LDD file via the link listed above, and below is what it looks like (a render image for now).

This is my take on a minifig-scale UCS scale Imperial Shuttle from Return of the Jedi. Since I wasn't sure where to start, the worm gear mechanism is loosely based on the official set. However, the rest is a mix of my design with subtle cues taken from Marshal Banana's MOC and 10212. It features gear-driven wings, detachable landing gear, poseable weapons, and an opening canopy with room for 4 minifigs.

A little while back, I was working on modding 7166-1 in LDD, which led me to build a new cockpit, which I posted here. Since then, I decided I should make a new body for the shuttle, as the original started to look bad with the new cockpit on it. The project as a whole is a little further along than in the pictures, with custom wings already built, but I thought that some input would be helpful. A few shortcomings that I have encountered so far are that there will likely be no room for any figs, which is a let down. A prime example of why I decided to post here. besides that, the whole building style is very odd, and may not hold up in real life, as there is no physics in LDD. At this point in the build, I'm kinda stuck. Studying the build will be my main priority for now. Until then, here are the pictures! I would add the LDD file, but it is too big for this sites uploader. Any help on that? Front view, showing off the cockpit and the body. The wings aren't attached for now, but will be soon. 3/4 shot, showing off the rest of the body. The top fin area comes straight off the TLG version, but could change in the future. Lastly, the back. I haven't decided what to do about it yet, as I'm not sure of the playability of the model. I may end up adding a door, or just sealing it off. Any C&C welcome, as well as suggestions on how to improve the model.

Recently I've been working on modding a 7166-1 Imperial shuttle, and I decided that I should make a new cockpit. The current one is a little unfaithful, so I took a crack at it. The cockpit should be quite small and thin, which I tried to encompass in my new cockpit. Any suggestions and comments are welcome. If anyone wants, here is the current LFX file:Imperial shuttle mods 2.lxf One problem is there will probably not be room for any figs, but it would look better. The underside. Still no floor.

Hello guys, I have finished now the Imperial Shuttle I started already a while ago: Now all of the functions actually work, and the details of the ship have been finished so that everything should look as smooth as possible. The work was pretty hard balance between accurate looks, working functions and durability, and I am now quite happy with the result. ^^ Here is a video showing the functions that include: - 2 x lasercannons - 2 x missiles - Backcannon All of the cannons are launched by pressing different buttons at the bottom of the ship. The mechanisms behind this are rather complicated and they are based on the use of fishing wire that delivers the force to the right place. - Wings automatically turn the landing gear open and close. Also, the white covering plates of the landing gear open and close automatically. The wingcannons also turn up and down automatically, though on the video they are a little jammed. - Boarding ramp and an opening and accessible hatch. - Removable walls, wall and cockpit canopy. - Cockpit seats 4 minifigures, the interior has 2 seats, but can accomodate a platoon of up to 8+ minifigures or even more, if you don't care about comfort. - Samppu
