158864 breezes past Welney Road Crossing near Manea, with the 1L07 1040 Nottingham to Norwich - 25/02/2022.
Greetings everyone! After a couple of months work I am proud to present my minifigure scale Zeta-class cargo shuttle.
“Manufactured by Telgorn Corporation with Sienar Fleet Systems, the Zeta-class shuttle carries a modular ‘interstellar orange’ cargo pod for versatility mounted on a 35.5m length frame.”
Ever since Rogue One introduced the design, the industrial mining tug aesthetic appealed to me. It has the kit-bashed sensibility that I love in Star Wars, so I set about a UCS sized build.
The lower cargo deck has space for troops and features a communications patch bay. I’m still working on finishing touches to the upper deck, but it houses the two seat command console and aft tech station.
The gearing mechanism from 10212 locks the wings upright. By simply lifting the top deck away I can adjust the angle if required. The wingspan measures 1.15m, so I have yet to find space to photograph the wings in flight mode!
During construction I used LDD for rapid prototyping. I still need to update the final build into the program, but the current ballpark is 4000 pieces.
The Rogue One ultimate visual guide and Battlefront Scarif DLC were invaluable for determining the proportions.
My personal technique for ‘minifigure scale’ is to calculate in-universe size against stud length. Small craft like speeders and skimmers skew towards 4.0s/m, starfighters 3.5s/m and large craft (e.g. UCS Slave 1 and Lambda shuttle) at 2.7s/m.
Therefore I aimed for 92s long and 75s high. The final model measures 88s (l) 70s (h) 48s (w) / 70cm (l) 56cm (h) 38cm (w).
Finally I threw together a Scarif landing pad for a diorama.
Hope you all like it!

Don't you know that I pack a punch? (What?)

Absolutely no interest from the passing pedestrian as GBRf 73 964 'Jeanette' heads above working Network Rail's test train 1Q75. The train which starts from Tonbridge West Yard visits Blackfriars station briefly on a Monday afternoon once every four weeks.
158758 sweeps past Ais Gill, with the 1E65 1336 Carlisle to Leeds - 09/06/2023.
In between the two loco hauled trains, a couple of passenger trains passed by. Local photographers understandably tend to ignore these, but I rather like the Class 158 myself & with glorious weather, I wasn't going to pass up another photographic opportunity.
