You should try to get this in the newsletter when it's done mate. It is absolutely outrageous in a great way 
Lego Asp Scout (UCS minifig 1:96ish scale) update
- Thread starter Rubbernuke
- Start date
If we do ever get ship interiors FD really should model the Asp Scout's on this in way of recognition.
Nice work mate! 
Its quite hard to explain- the white panels are simply angled up and each end secured with Technic axles. The grey panels are secured in two places by ball clip joints and at the outer edge by a double joint I made from Technic to allow for that angle.
The grey panels have to be higher as you have a quite annoying inset slot here:
could I see the double joint please? if its not too much trouble. I am currently working on a muuuuch smaller asp and the lower panels are kicking my but rn. I've attached them but they are only attached by one joint.
In short I have an angled beam that the plate clips onto and bends up at the right angle and is fastened by the technic connector below:
thanks man
Some awesome work there Rubbernuke, really looking forward to seeing the finished Asp, so don’t forget to take a load of photos to show us ok!
Also - do you have enough lego to finish? I know you said you bought more a while back but it’s looking like you’re using a lot!
I thought I was good with Lego once.. geeze..

Cheers! I'll have to buy more Lego (mainly plates, tiles and inverted slopes) but since I design as I go along sometimes I'll refactor areas and free Lego for other areas. But I'm much closer to finishing than I look- nearly all of the internal structure is finalised now (since I can mirror what I do on one side with the other).
While we wait for some minor update to the game (name escapes me) here is an update on the Scout- working on the outer skin alignment, trying to keep it as crisp as possible.
The white panel folds out, while the top lifts off to expose the interior sections. RCS thrusters are placeholder (although I have a part in mind to lower the height a bit).
Started thinking about the wings too, and how to support them (which is going to be....interesting).

Looks absolutely sick. Angled sections are always hard in lego
Bit more refinement on the outer wing and rear wing panel:
And some shots of how the panels flip up / interior:
You’re going to need 5 billion credits to complete this build.

Ironically no- now I've done one side I can price up the other half and its not that bad- my wife might even let me finish

Great news, really looking forward to seeing the finished ASP, fantastic work BTW!!!!!
Just a very minor update:
Been busy elsewhere so progress has been slow- been working on the upper wing surface and testing out embellishments (nothing colour matched yet). I've added the wingtip radiator and looked at the upper wing detail, plus started to play with greebles. A big thanks to @xzanfr for donating the precious (does Gollum face) angled plates (you can see them here on the edge).
Where Tracer is stood (the minifig) there is a cabin (which is on top of the galley / cargo hold) which looks like this (and contains the large red sofa I did ages back).
Going to be visiting Bricklink later, need lots and lots of tiles and greeble details
