Lego ECHenry Pegasus

I designed this model by using the 3D model ECHenry put up for sale as reference. I was able to get a lot more detail out of it that way. Not to mention as close to perfect proportions as I could possibly get. Having the actual model gave me some unique insight on the inner workings of ECHenry's design process. Like having differently scaled and oriented greebles duplicated in several places. Which is very much in the spirit of ILM model makers working on the original trilogy.

 

What that means for a Lego model is a lot of different techniques. The greebles on the engines and fuselage are as accurate as I could get them, and I'm super happy with the result. I even did my best to mimic panel detailing instead of maximizing tiles to be as efficient as possible.

 

The turret is a completely custom addition. The design was made by ThrawnsRevenge. We thought the underside looked a bit bare without something. And my head cannon is that one of the three people in the cockpit remotely operate it similar to an Apache helicopter's turret.

 

All in all I'm really happy with how this model turned out. I'd like to upload some IRL photos once I find space...
