Lego Asp Scout (UCS minifig 1:96ish scale) update

[Zeeman]

Really its working around the cleanest edges- my problem was I had an interior cage that was perfect but the joins were impossible over the top. In the end I ditched the hybrid approach and used plates with minimal technic (and old technic mainly new stuff is really bendy).

Ha! I'm kinda screwed there, I only got in to technic fairly recently, so all my technic is new...

Having said that, the Ducati has some potentially useful parts, now that I think about it.

BTW - I'm looking at the Asp Explorer as my project, just to clarify.
Z...

Bear in mind the Asp ships are hard edges with little curved areas. Flat technic panels are useful, but generally (for me anyway) the outer skin is large plates covered in flat tiles and greebles.

Its not dead! Just been messing with the interior details (and trying to work out how to photograph it all )

Here is the ceiling of the main deck (on the port side of the ship). These panels are removable. You can also just see an octagonal hatch in the middle which is access from the galley to what will be bunks.

And with panels off:

Here is a shot with the hatch up where you can see the ladder underneath, some piled stuff to the right and the snack bar to the left. If you are wondering what is in the yellow section thats the toilet / shower

There's a 1x1x(1/3) missing from the underside of the top of the archway with the opaque pink mug under it. <twitch>

It does get a bit like that! I imagine once I have everything done I'll take it apart and clean up certain areas that I was less happy with.

Freestyle Lego builds are never completed, they’re just abandoned until you need to take it apart for parts.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. I built a 1:16 scale Panzer III"ish" a few years back. It has working tracks, detailed interior and even schurzen with a camo pattern on it. Still in one piece to this day.

That treasure chest might attract space pirates though. They can smell treasure hundreds of nautical space miles away.

Hell, they'd even come for the coffee mug sitting on top of that chest. Just the smell of coffee grounds would be enough to draw in pirates in this game!

Some more updates- getting to interiors and external fittings (at least on one side )

I have yet to buy more so colours are mismatched at the minute:

The grey disc is where the RCS thruster will go.

Interior progress (mainly pipe and ducting work)

with the interior stuff is it all personal thought are are their plans that you are working from?

Just freestyling- I'm not aware of any interiors so I went with making my own and trying to keep things logical and consistent (i.e. each level has access to the others, all access is correctly sized etc).

 

[SCiARA]

its all very impressive stuff

Its more fun than it should be doing them Flexible Technic axles are also useful as cables.

Flipping awesome work!
