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.

Just a few pics to show the immense scale of my Imperial Shuttle MOC! Honestly, you don't know how much effort it took to hold up this big beauty with one hand - but I think I managed to hide the struggle lol I'll be posting a full gallery with plenty of interior and exterior pics very soon

With the arrival of the new Tydirium set, I know most of you will not be impressed with this creation, however I am pretty proud of how it came out because the actual set, even though its certainly looks more detailed, is way too big compared to the rest of my collection and I already have all the SW vehicles I would ever want and wont deliver my self to the hype of buying just about every updated version of what I already have because it doesn't fit the scale (they are not actually to scale but don't look oversized or dwarfed beside each other). I always wanted to have the official set released back then but never could manage to get it, I eventually got a landing craft but it was way below my expectations, so I dismantled and rebuilt it multiple times until I got some other useful bricks that helped me to complete a custom version of my cherished ship, later I made some improvements and finally completed this build to achieve the size and sturdiness I wanted, its still not perfect but is quite close to what I had in mind and can sit beside my AT-AT and some old modified TIE fighters without bothering me (I am a little obsesive, you know ). 03 by Nom Carver, en Flickr 05 by Nom Carver, en Flickr The cockpit is basically the same of the landing craft, I tried some other designs of cockpits but non stud up to my requirements of seize and shape, however this one flows with the fuselage good enough. 14 by Nom Carver, en Flickr The dorsal wing is also held tightly thanks to some ideas borrowed from the T-16 and the Tydirium, I would have used white beams but grey will do fine for now, and this also helps to break the white monotony. 15 by Nom Carver, en Flickr The side wings swivel very swiftly but are tight enough to keep them in position. 12 by Nom Carver, en Flickr It also features a turret on the rear and access to the interior with room for the emperor and one royal guard, it could fit even four troops with slight mods but I like it just like it is. 07 by Nom Carver, en Flickr 09 by Nom Carver, en Flickr 10 by Nom Carver, en Flickr Comments and criticism are welcome, I hope you liked it.

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
