ARC-170
I recently got the new ARC-170 and it lasted about 0.5 seconds before I wanted to build my own.
Like always my goal was to have a nice inbetween of detail and playset-style ruggedness while also using parts from the 2010 and 2025 set.
The nose section was particularily difficult to accomplish and after many tests I settled on a design very similar to Thomas Jenkins' MOC - in my opinion the best solution to date. So big credit definitely goes there.

I also comitted a bit of light blasphemy by using some 3x3 quarter circle plates from COBI that I had for the engines. That just completely solved the 7-wide engine issue for me and I really like the clean look overall.
Parts: 1356
