Not too long ago Marshal Banana presented his excellent rendition of Tydirium or Lambda-class Imperial Shuttle. Far more intricate than my original LEGO creation, it got me thinking :) - for which I'm very grateful to Marshal. His model is obviously larger but I thought I might be able to develop certain cockpit solutions even further and adapt them to my model. And here it is - my Lambda 4.0 :) !

Hey everyone! I've been back in London for a few weeks now, so I decided I should really post a photo from this city! This particular shot was taken back in the summer, but I've only gotten around to processing and posting it now.
It's the time of year that I'm selling my calendar! This is a great xmas gift and contains my travel and landscape photography from the last year, including some currently unreleased images.

The TIE-Lambda vessel was only built in limited numbers, and never adopted by any noteworthy imperial squadrons, because it offered little advantage over the standard TIE, and offered only small savings as well. The few produced have been stationed on research bases, where the non-standard parts required have no great drain on supplies, and where modifications to this unusual fighter can be continued hopefully leading to something of worth for the Empire.
This is also maybe the ugliest TIE variant ever designed.

Lambda Orionis Cluster (also known as Collinder 69 or Orion OB2) is a brilliant star association that forms the head of the mythological figure of Orion.
The OB association is formed by a small group of blue main sequence stars, the brightest of which is λ Orionis (Meissa), sometimes used to name the entire cluster.
Cr69 is young and contains a large number of low-mass stars, some T Tauri and brown dwarfs.
The whole group is surrounded by a shell-like reflection nebula.
The yellow star, the φ² Ori, is actually just over 100 light years away and is closer, in fact the cluster is 1600 light years away.

The Lambda Class Shuttle is one of my favorite spaceship designs with its birdlike look. I like the elegant curves and the transformative wing mechanism, furthermore the landing gear setup with just two legs is exciting!
With the introduction of all the recent new parts I was able to create the round forms and fluent lines of the original studio model.
It is difficult to find exact reference material for this ship, most of the blueprints and imagery, which are available online, are not correct to the original studio models. I've ended up using my own photographs I've managed to take at the amazing Star Wars Identities exhibition.
The model is a scratch build MOC, there are some familiar elements to the LEGO UCS model as well as Dmac's www.flickr.com/photos/dmaclego original design. My main focus was an accurate cockpit design (it’s still not perfect but I like my solution), the inclusion of play features, a full interior completed with PF functions, lights and more.
The model features:
- motorized foldable wings
- boarding ramp
- retractable landing gear
- detailed cockpit and interior
- turning canons
- landing lights
- working sublight engine
It is bigger than the official set with 94 cm in width and 102 cm in hight (on the stand). I've used up to 6000 parts for the model including an PF medium motor and 7 PF lights.
For the scenes I've used secondary builds, the Death Star ll and a midscaled Star Destroyer based on Brickdoctors www.flickr.com/photos/legoarts/ design both of which are adding several hundred parts. For the Endor scene I've used around 10000 parts. Even the planets used for the space scenes are based on LEGO parts (Planet series: Endor and Tatooin for the red Planet).
I'm happy how my build came together, I hope you like it as well! Thanks.

Built for a Space Battle of Endor group build at LEGO Star Wars Days 2013.
And yes, this is the correct size for mini-scale.
11.5 hours of narrowband data in the classic Hubble palette line-up, acquired between the 23rd and 25th of February, 2021, with an 6.6" apo refractor and a QHY600. There is about double the time spent with sulfur, compared to hydrogen and oxygen.
I guess 15 minutes will be a maximum time if I decide to use these lights during Skaerbaek event. These are just LEDs but boy, they get hot after a while!
Part of IC2944 (aka "running chicken nebula") in the southern sky, this nebula is asociated with the bright star (mag 3.1) lambda centauri. This nebula is near invisible to common LRGB color filters, but have a rich Hidrogen alpha emission. This is a Ha-L-RGB composite for about 8 hours. The bright star in the frame leads to optical reflexes difficult to attenuate, but I still decide include it to reveal the surroundings. GSO RC 30cms scope, camera STF8300/AO-8 from La Colonia, Illapel, Chile.
The Lancia Lambda was an innovative automobile produced from 1922 through 1931. It was the first car to feature a load-bearing unitary body, saving weight and with high torsional stiffness. It also pioneered the use of an independent front suspension: the famous "sliding pillar".
About 11,200 Lambdas were produced in 9 series. The factory torpedo was the most common, but many coachbuilders provided special bodies like this 7 seater by Carrosserie Garavini. This 1929 Lancia Lambda 7th Series, registration number O-ABD-894, is on display at Autoworld, Belgium’s national motor museum, in Brussels.

I purchased this photographic print from an Austrian online vendor, so the photo was possibly taken in Austria.

The attractive, but sometimes observationally challenging, triple star system of Lambda Ophiuchi (Marfic) marks the elbow of the Serpent Bearer (Ophiuchus). Its name Marfic is derived from the Arabic “Al Marfik” meaning the elbow.
The two brightest stars in the three-star system are separated by less than 1.5 arcseconds which requires a reasonably stable atmosphere and a high-power eyepiece. The third component is much dimmer and can be lost in the glare of its brighter components if the telescope’s optics/atmosphere are not optimal. Years ago, I was able to make out all three stars with an 85mm refractor (I no longer have that telescope -- it unfortunately succumbed to lens mold from too much overseas travel). For this drawing, I used a 155mm refractor at 312x magnification.
When Sienar delivered the TIE-Lambda prototypes to the Empire, those prototypes underwent a detailed validation program under supervision of Imperial Regulator BEAVeR. Following BEAVeR's detailed report, Sienar provided several updates and improvements to the TIE-Lambda resulting in the release of the Mark II version.
(FYI, BEAVeR is one of the moderators of the Eurobricks Star Wars forum and his detailed constructive feedback really motivated me to improve the initial model. This version has the BEAVeR's touch.)
