Republic IFV

Inspired by Sial's model.





















Whattya think?

I've already made a second version which I'll upload soon.

great model! I highly recommend getting a clean paint brush to brush dust off your mocs before you take pictures of them.

Good pieces usage. Why are they actually jumping off it? Do they want to die or what?

It's pretty nice, 80-0! It's a little bit blocky, but Sial's model was, too.

I also like how you were original and made your own chaingun design!

Brilliant. A small, blocky, little transport that gets the job done. I love the usage of those guns, great job! I'm gonna do this as well. But with a different name.

Nice! Good job making it look like it can take a lot of damage!

@ jens: Thanks; dust has always been a problem, especially with the intensely high quality of my camera...

@ DP: It's like those British helicopters where it slants up the back end like in this IFV, but it opens downwards. They could be jumping into water for instance.

Plus, it allows the IFV to hover over the ground, put down the door, and have the troops run out, close the door, and take off without having to land.

@ Joe: Yup, and his was a LOT more blocky!

@ Alpha: Good luck!

@ Astor: Yup!

Thanks to one and all!

Yeah same here, but the paint brush is a very nice tool because it doesn't take a lot of time or effort and the result is great.

Yea, I use the same for my models.

Awesome!!

The entire design is great!

And I don't have a dust problem at all... I play with my Lego too much!

The structure of it is just brilliant! While I don't like the forward mounted rotary cannons, it's still pretty well done !

I actually like the cannons!

I agree with Sial... the front cannons are a bit... awkward maybe transition it with slopes?

Hmm maybe a grilled 2x1 slope could do the job.

This is a nice model! What is the clone doing with the droid though? And for getting dust of, I find it affective to use a leaf blower.

This is really cool! The cockpit design is spectacular. I personally like the front cannons. I like that minigun Rex is holding .

Be sure you blow your Lego's east, to me.

Shape = Win
Design = Win
Idea= Win

Maybe just shape it up a tad, add a strong secondary color, but this is awesome! Something to be very proud of!

I saw this on Flickr and added it to my faves about a week ago. The back ramp is a awesome attachment!

WOW, this is pretty sweet 80-0, I like it.

I like it, a bit studdy. But nice.

Mind if I re-steal this fine piece of work?
I've been needing some inspiration for a ship like this for awhile, it'll be pretty different though.

@ 667th: Saying goodbye, telling him to take care, I dunno.

@ Zeph: Well, in my remodeling, the only colors are dark grey, dark red, some light grey, some black, trans red and trans orange and a trans smoke windshield(which by the way is the Magnaguard Starfighter's cockpit in the remodeling). What do you mean by secondary color?

@ Bantha: Thanks!

@ ABL: Thanks! (is any comment of yours not a nice one? )

@ Faie: Compare this to Sial's and tell me which is studdier.

@ Uber: Steal away!

Thanks all!

You should put wings on it.

That's exactly what I put on the modified version a few weeks ago!
