Hello fellow EB'rs, I'm a huge fan of both Classic Space and TLM, as well as a nut for screen-accurate props. The Lego Movie of course makes building props from the film even more exciting. Anyway... a lot of the sets in the film are scaled up (especially the Sea Cow), however Benny's spaceship is pretty much identical in the film and in the produced set - though there are a few slight differences: Here is the ship as it appears in the film: Benny's Spaceship: TLM version by cinderbike, on Flickr And here's my copy, after assembly and staged about the same: Benny's Spaceship - Production version by cinderbike, on Flickr Benny hasn't quite built the hoses yet, but as you can see the 2 big differences I noticed were the construction of UniKitty's pod and the position of the front-most wing tips. Converting the set to appear as it does in the movie as actually pretty easy. In the film Unikitty's pod lacks the missile launcher, and instead uses 1x1 round trans-red pieces (they might actually be diamonds or another piece, but it's hard to tell with the glow) and a few odds and ends in lieu of the launcher pieces. Secondly, the apparatus that holds her in is more simplified in the production set. In the set, the droid torso more of less just holds her down by the tail, whereas in the film a 1x1 clip and a couple of battle droid arms are used in addition to actual lock down onto the stud between her tail and head. All of these parts are fairly easy to find, here is my tweaked version (I need to BrickLink some droid arms in light bley, but you get the idea): Hope this helps anyone else wondering how close to the film our ships are!
