Hi again everyone
This time I present one more model from Rogue One – the Eta-Class Supply Barge. This “super tanker” can be seen entering Scarif through the shield gate.
It is the big brother/sister of the Zeta-Class Cargo shuttle:
I also cannot recall seeing any other MOC’s of this monster.
This was quite a simple build – it is mostly a flat-bed after all – but the pieces that inspired me was the new 1x2 wedges for the prongs at the front. The only other “tricky” part was making the 8 wings so that they were sloped but not too sloped. I eventually settled on door rail plates at the bottom of each wing to give an illusion of a slope. It is a bit bigger than I would normally like to build but with the front having to be 4 studs wide (difficult to make it 3) it dictated the overall length of the model.
My photography is not very good but the orange containers contrasted against the dark-bluish gray is quite striking.
Let me know what you think and there will be more MINI madness soon
Jon
