Post by pdragon27 Fri Feb 06, 2009 9:23 pm

Well, I've decided to scrap my Pursuer-class and make an Outrider for my sig-fig (Which I'm also redo-ing). It won't be minifig scale.. more like half minifig scale...
I'm planning on making the circle part like the UCS Falcon, with the opening top pieces. But, the problem is I want the bottom to be "sloped" the same way, but I also want a ramp for my fig to walk on to get in and out of his ship. How should I go about this? BTW, the circle will actually be an octagon with each side measuring 16 studs.

Well, like you said, do it like the Falcon. For the ramp, just leave a gap in one side of the octagon - of course, we'd need to see actual pictures of the Outrider to give you tips on the ramp mechanism itself.

Judging by this picture, you could use a plain version of the RGS wing turret-bubble-things.

Meh. I want it to have more of a Falcon-esque feel to it... so maybe a falcon cockpit? But the probelm its I can't seem to find it on Bricklink... Also, Should I make the Escape pod detachable?

Do you have any ideas for how to make the engine? I'm thinking of using flat trans-blue 2x2's but that might take to many...

No... I don't know how that'd work out... I think I'll stick with the flat trans pieces...

I'll probably do Bricklink.... How tall should the frame for the octagon be?

Not sure, just big enough to fit minifigs. 3-4 bricks?

Ok, to hold the plates on top to make the "sloping" effect, should I use this piece:
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=60470
or this piece:
Sorry, can't find it on bricklink, but its the piece that is used normally to open cockpits and stuff...

How? They're all black...

As are the 12 x 3 slope plates on PaB.... Ahould I cover them up as much as I can with gray so it has a little more color to than plain old regular gray?

I know I wanna ccome up with some advice...... AHA! You should make a small speeder bike ramp in the back. And, ooh, yeah, a speeder bike too. It's kind of a common feature, but I like the sound of it. Surprised But either way, good luck!
