Pulsar NXE VTOL Shuttle - Breakdown

This is a breakdown of how it is built. You can probably switch out some colors, but if you want to use the rope spool holder you are very limited.

The gold thing in the middle is a 1x1 clip tile.
It is connected to a 1x1 tile with bar on the other side.

The Malediction - Build Log

Inspiration

In the beginning of 2021, I was starting to think about designing a new Star Wars ship. I really enjoyed building and designing the Nadir and I wanted to do something similar again.

Designers like TechNouveau and EC Henry inspired me to start sketching. Also this piece of art was very inspiring: (unknown artist)

Here is my first sketch:

As you can see, the left one is basically just a copy of the artwork above. After some pondering, I did another sketch and that is the right one. The inspiration comes from looking at images of the B-Wing and the Outrider. So it's sort of a mix of those two. 

 

Digital design

The next step was to start building the model digitally, in Studio. I mostly do that to figure out what size the model will be and what parts I will need to order. I need to see if it's even possible to build the ship I have in my mind.

2022-04-02

My plan from the start was of course to make it at least 100 studs wide and build it for SHIPtember 2021. But that didn't happen. It just seemed like too big a task to build this beast. I revisited the digital build several time during the following years and added some details.

Space Jam 2023!

And then, Space Jam returned in 2023 and one of the categories seemed to fit this ship. "Build a spaceship that can fit 4 minifigures". That gave me a goal for the final MOC and also some restrictions (deadline) that I sometimes need to finish a MOC. 

I still hadn't decided what the cockpit should look like. And, I also needed something to put in the other end of the ship. My first thought was to build a giant gun, but it just seemed too obvious (and too much like the B-Wing), so after some sketching I decided to build a pair of "fins" or "S-foils"

I've been building the ship during December and January. Being sick, and forced to stay at home during the holidays helped. I don't have any WIP photos. It was quite hectic. Here is the final result! 

Skitter - Breakdown

 This build started two years ago when I was building  speeder bike for Lego Speeder Bike Contest 2019. I came up with this design, but I moved on to something completely different. 

I finished it in march this year and I thought I'd share a breakdown of how it's built.

And here is the final result:

Ronin - Breakdown

Feet

 

This is how the feet are built.

This is how they are attached to the leg. This is probably the weekest connection in the build.

Legs

Here are all the parts for the lower leg. Complete assembly to the right.

Here is the outside of upper legs.

Hips

Here you can se the inside of the legs and part of the hips. The groin covers needs to be removed if you plan to bend the legs at the hips. 

The hip section from above.

Same section from below.

Torso

The 2x3 is just there to keep the shoulder joints in a fixed position.

Those are lipsticks.

This is how the head is connected.

Head

I just folded the ribbons and fixed them with the hairpiece.

Curl up the swimsuit and let the connector pin stick out from one of the leg holes.

Arms

Here you see where to connect the arms.

The three arm sections.

I use a 2x2 round tile with hole because I want to use the hole as a connection point for weapons.

There is a neck bracket in the katana to connect it to the hand.

Weapons

I used two 1x5 Modulex tiles here.
