Republic Light Cruiser WIP

I'm taking a break on the "ABC" project to work on the Republic Light Cruiser. The ship is 84 studs long, and 28 studs wide. I plan on having an interior, so stay tuned for updates.





A picture of the ship.

Looks good so far. Heh, all your other stuff is in the background.

I know your good with the "big stuff," so i'll know you'll do a good job.

Looks pretty good so far.

Looks good so far, keep working on it!

Dang, this is a pretty big build Knight. I can't wait till it's finished.

Looks very nice so far Knight! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Hmmm... There is something missing from your cruiser, but what...?


Looks good, can't wait to see an update!

Nice job, can't wait to see the finished product!

Looks like we have a mini-Rook in the making!

Looks good so far, I tried to make one and failed but I am going to try again. Two things though, it looks like the sides of the ship area bit high for the ship's length, and the gap at the front looks like it should go back a bit further. A cool idea for the ship would be to have a door at that gap and put speeder there. For reference here's a wookiepedia picture. but other than that it looks great.

Looks great so far.

I see that yelow walker in the background, but its name escapes me...
Thanks

Thanks for the comments everyone. The ship is starting to take some shape. So far I have the top (front) plates done, and will have pics up tomorrow.

I've watched tons of builders try to tackle a build this big before, and so far all of them have succeeded. I've neglected to try and have put it off for years, until a time I have more bricks. Originally it was just until I became a better builder. With this being said, I'd like to wish you the best of luck!

Just a little teaser of how far the plating is. Expect another update this week!


@-Revo thanks, and I think you should give it a shot. You would do great!

I dunno knight, it looks good but it is too think IMO. Maybe if you covered those this technic bricks with th 6xX plates it would look better. It's just way too think compared to the reference picture. But it is your ship so do what you want.

^ Think? I think you mean thick, or does think stand for something?

So far great Knight, but I kind of agree with Bizzle, add some stuff to the side plates so it doesn't look too 'think'.

I'm making it thick because I want it to have an interior, but yes if there was no interior I would make it thin. It's still a WIP, so the bricks will be covered.

That looks really good. By the way, do you have the Imperial Star Destroyer? Is that what you used to make this?

Update!

Knight: Come on shinnies!
Shinnies: Yes sir.


Knight: Oh, hey 667th.
667th: Wow Knight, this looks great so far. This will be great for the corps.
Knight: Speaking of the corps we are one member short.


667th: It looks like we need to have tryouts!
Knight: Wait on second 667th, get back to work shinnies!
667th: Ah, the fun in yelling at shinnies.
Knight: Yes it is fun.


667th: Oh, look!
Shinnies: Were ok.


Yep, thats right the 76th corps needs a new member. Just PM 667th to try out!

Hmm, I don't really like that gert wheel in the first picture, but rest is coming along great, keep it up!

Pulling a Rook are we now?

<.<

The wheel is still a place holder, so if I find a better option I will use it.

@-Jens, yep. The same comic frame.
@-Thanks for the comments everyone. I hope to have this done in about a month, and the bridge will be started soon.

When your done are you gonna post it in here or in Clone Wars?

I saw the update and it looks great so far! I do have to agree with Tac though, the gert wheel looks... out of place. Were you trying to make a "bubble turret" like on the gunship?

Looks like it is coming along quite nicely.
