Lego Asp Scout (UCS minifig 1:96ish scale) update
- Thread starter Rubbernuke
- Start date
And here is a reworked underside, with outer plating and a bit of detail- I had to remove a lot of the upper structure which I intend to rework a bit.
So when do you think you will start your Type 7?Quick test for the underside plating before I do some refactoring underneath:

If I tried something like this, I imagine a lot of head scratching and staring at piles of Lego.
I would not mind doing a Phantom, although the underside has similar angles to the Asp (just inverted and flat on top). But I still have a looong way to go with this one yet
Really long way, considering your underside legos are upside down, you need to refactor them!I would not mind doing a Phantom, although the underside has similar angles to the Asp (just inverted and flat on top). But I still have a looong way to go with this one yet
And having to wear shoes indoors ever after.
This is the problem having a DIY job right next to the Lego....
Space feet!
Not strictly the same as the 'real' thing, but a decent enough placeholder.

Not the most recent, but here is one with the legs on and some detail in the landing gear wells:
Some better shots:
Part of the sloped hull in position
Detail under the crew sections (which will be on top of each side)
Shot slightly higher up peeking into the landing gear wells
Bear in mind all of this is upside-down

While the world goes crazy over the news, here are some updates. I'm working on the rear ventral hull here, having a good experimental building session.
@Rubbernuke looks like your filling in the skin. Looking great! Always the best part.
Here is the update on the Falcon......
Decided to go for flush holes in the mandibles as i prefer the cleaner look compared to the circles stuck on top.
next I’m just working out the plate arrangement for the outer shell. ... of course, this will take months to make because swapping things around...

A spaceship based on the design I showed on page 9 of this thread. Already have most of the "white section" finished. Cargo bay is all done complete with airlocks on either side. Outer airlock doors open up to show the interior of the bay (inner airlock is transparent aluminum (big transparent Lego panel). Cargo bay is also already lit with red lights. When I get this beast done, I'll have to put up some pics. I find there are generally two camps of Lego builders. Those like Rubbernuke that do wireframe models and then panel them, and then those like me who tend to build spacefilling models that use a lot of slope bricks to get that angled look. This thing will be around 80 to 85 cm long once it is finished. Crew deck, engineering and the bridge will be red lit like the cargo bay. The 10 thrusters will be blue lit. The sensor array that will extend out from the nose of the ship will be also blue lit. It won't be as fancy or cool as Rubbernuke's Asp, but it's got me all nutzy right now and I have had quite a few sleepless nights slamming stuff together. Lego is just so damn fun! As a side note, I'm starting to get the itch to build the Rocinante. That will have to wait until I get this ship finished though.

Looks great! I have to admit though, I covet all those angled plates.....
