Description I've recently reawakened my interest in Star Wars, or I've really always loved Star Wars, I mean Star Wars Battlefront ll is where my exxtrooper alias came from, but I'm building it and stuff now, it's great.

This took way longer then it should have, it's been sort of just laying around over the course of three weeks and I've been building it little by little whenever I felt like it. And man did it take long to find all those white slopes, making the landing gear work properly and finding enough white cheese probably took longer then making the entire model itself. The actual secondary color of the Nu-class shuttle is actually dark red but I used the parts available to me. The only thing that grinds my gears about the model is the light grey pieces in the front, they are available in black in one old indiana jones set, but you only get one of them and the set is like 100 USD or something.

I'm pretty conflicted about this one because I've been thinking about dissembling it and making it into a Lambda class shuttle. I really like making vehicles like, I've always really liked the white shuttles from star wars, a lot of the clone wars era spacecrafts have some interesting shapes.

So yeah, I'm sort of like building and stuff now guys, hope that's cool and all.

Haha, my pleasure dude! I think your build is way better than the actual shuttle that Lego released - I didn't bother getting the set, I wanted it originally, but wasn't that impressed with the overall finish of the set, or the fact that I already had the minifigs (I was hoping for Clone Trooper variants, or ARF Trooper minifigs - which hadn't appeared at that point). You should definitely try the Lambda Class Shuttle - that would be amazing!

Yeah that set wasn't one of TLG's brightest moments, the cockpit was way too small and the interior was quite frankly a disaster from what I've seen. Never got the original set, hence why I made my own. 


I did actually want to make a Lambda Class Shuttle at first because I absolutely adore the look of it, but don't really have parts for the fin. 


I'm surprised we haven't seen a remake of that set considering how it's one of the more memorable ships from the old trilogy, we've basically had new tie-fighters and x-wings every year but not one normal set scale Lambda Class Shuttle? A shame really.


Crossing my fingers for the 2014 line-up, we'll just hope and see!
