Do hard points deploy?
Lego Asp Scout (UCS minifig 1:96ish scale) update
- Thread starter Rubbernuke
- Start date
Yes- I did a photo of one side here:
In an earlier version I had a little dial you twisted which pulled up the door, however the space in this version is too limited (because clearance for the interior aspect was tight).
Looks like I should have followed this thread earlier... if these forums had a rep button like the old ones, I'd have broken it with extreme stabbing.
Mucho kudos.
So we finally got interiors after all. Did Starfield devs take inspiration from your build?It (the ship) has a fully detailed lower deck as well- I might take a few more photos to show this off. It also has a fully working SRV bay (and hatch) and a cargo hatch door.
But, one of the objectives was to make every area and deck accessible as possible via ladder- so, the front lower cockpit has a ladder up into the main cockpit, from the rear ramp there is a swing down ladder that emerges in the centre of the 'main' deck (left pic is the ladder under the yellow castle pieces on the right- the gray half circle hatch folds down for clearance)

You also have a swing down ladder (so you have an unobstructed access through) to the (what I call) engineering deck (out of focus)

And from that deck / platform you have a ladder to the side that comes down to the storage area (some bits are removed here for clarity- the model has a lot of modular parts for ease of access).

So from the cockpits you can walk all the way through the ship, board the ramp and have a coffee or lower the folded SRV
I’ve said it more than once… I am in awe that this awesome build was done with real Lego.

While I don't begrudge anyone who does virtual Lego, at the same time digital bricks kind of lose that charm. You also don't have to consider structural issues either (but photography is far far easier!).

Yeh, defo not the ship to chase anything else than T-something

An absolute stella bit of work, mate!
The details are fantastic and wonderfully executed.
I don't know what I'm impressed about the most - the model itself or you managing to move it downstairs without a Lego Alderran moment.
Dude this project has taken you an eternity to complete! I started following this thread years ago. Love the interiors, and I would hazard a guess all that LEGO cost a fortune, it looks like a really large model. Great work!
The model is about 5600 pieces and really heavy
I had to take off all the detachable parts to lighten it enough and be able to fit through doors.Thanks! It took so long because I was buying Lego as I went. If I was building it from scratch now it'd take a few weeks as I have most things to hand.

Really don't see how you have time to post so frequently on the forums and make such a stunning model!
