Alternatively called a Class-546 Cruiser, or the Arquitens-Class Cruiser. Based on the ship’s appearance in S2 of The Mandalorian and the fantastic ILM model made for the show.
Inspired by various other brilliant Arquitens MOCs, including Shockjoke (rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-14461/ShockJoke/arquitens-class-...) and The Mendolorian (www.flickr.com/photos/mendolorian/40251804144/in/dateposted/).
Also check out this fantastic video from MetaNerdz Lore on the cruiser and why/how it’s slightly different to the Arquitens in The Clone Wars and Rebels: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGul4_441kc
A generic cruiser, although I suppose the front is a bit more blockade runner. It's got 2x4 guns in 2 rotating turret mounts, CIWS on the top and bottom, and sideways facing missile launch systems. I kind of gave up on the front and the engine section. I'll likely be revisiting this one soon.
Any space fleet worth it's salt needs to have a Caddock Class cruiser. These top of the line warships keep fighters and small craft away from capitol ships, and offer invaluable support in the heat of a battle.
There 10 guns cover all areas of the battlefield, and keep the enemy at bay while the heavier spaceships get into position to smash the opposition.
With their four shield pylons and the two Rolls Royce XV engines, the Caddock is both invulnerable and speedy.

The Caddock is what you need.
I've had so much fun working on this thing!
All of your constructive criticism and thoughts have helped this thing so much.I know that it wouldn't turn out as well as it did (IMO) without all of your help, so thank you all!
I got a lot of Homeworld inspiration for this thing. :)
Anyways, I really hope that you like this, and constructive criticism would be appreciated! :)
By the way, check it out at Brick Bash tomorrow! Swing by if you're in the area.

God bless!
Ok, let´s start the new year with a new theme.
This year I´m planning to build most of the ships of the Italian Navy during World War Two, the Regia Marina, a Naval Force that over the years has gained a reputation of cowards and incompetent but was actually the most fearsome Surface adversary of the British Royal Navy during the War. To give you an idea, the UK was forced to keep most of their Battleships and it´s best WW2 Admiral Andrew Cunningham in the Mediterranean Area between 1940 and 1943 due to the threat posed by the Regia Marina.
And now, let´s talk about the model.
The Zara Class was a Class of four Heavy Cruisers (Zara, Fiume, Gorizia, Pola) built in Italy between 1929 and 1932 which served the Italian Regia Marina during the Second World War.
The ships were designed under the Washington Naval Treaty which limited Heavy Cruisers to a maximum displacement of 10 000 tons and 203mm (8”) guns however, when it proved impossible for Italian Engineers to build the ships under that displacement (and with a belt armor of 150mm), they simply decided to cheat the treaty (which was often done by other signatories) and go over the limit in secret.
The ship main armament was eight 203mm (8”) guns mounted on four double turrets, plus twelve 100mm (3.9”) AA guns on six double turrets. To keep wait low, the ships were completed without torpedo-tubes which was common at the time. Four short range Anti-aircraft defense, eight 37mm (1.5”) AA guns and eight 20mm AA guns were also carried. The ship had a maximum speed of 32knots and could carry two Seaplanes that were launched, weirdly, from the front of the ship.

This has been sitting around for a long time. Finally got around to finishing and posting.
The NX Police Cruiser was an atmospheric starship that looked similar to the N-1 starfighter. Rookie pilots in the Royal Naboo Security Forces spent hours flying the N-X to learn to fly the N-1.
My initial inspiration/approach was from the awesome work of Inthert (www.flickr.com/photos/143232344@N06/), and I've mantained a couple of details of the original model. I've recreated all the internal structure and the external shape to obtain my personal model, keeping in mind to build a sturdy set that can be displayed (the instructions contain a simple and effective stand solution) but also can be played.
The final model can fit inside a minifigure with the helmet (minifigure is not included into the part lists, you can choose your favourite one by catalog).
Hope you enjoy this model, and don't hesitate to contact me for any questions or suggestions

Taking this sort of shot was one of my motivating reasons for going on the cruise, hoping to add another strand to my 'Travellers' series by varying the mode of transport. It was more challenging to get this than I'd envisaged. I took it as we left Casablanca, a short while before my seasickness nightmare.
The sad sight of the remains of former Airbus Industries Boeing Turbo-Guppy - Skylink 1, aka F-BTGV on display at the South Wales Aviation Museum
Originally designed to transport Apollo Rocket sections for final assembly at Cape Canaveral, the Super Guppy was a conversion of Boeing's famous post-war piston powered airliner - the Stratocruiser.
Using the fuselage of the military version - the C-97J, Aero Spacelines converted this by adding a huge blown upper 'bubble', new powerplants, a modified fin and hinging the whole of the forward fuselage to allow the Rocket sections to be slid straight in to the new cavernous hold.
This final version had the more powerful Alison Turbo-props added and four were used by Airbus to transport Airbus airliner fuselage and wing sections between the various European production centres to their final assembly line in France.
In time the Guppy's were replaced with an indigenous Airbus product named the Beluga - a twin-engined jet based upon a similar principle and layout to the earlier Guppy design
Skylink 1 was retired to Bruntingthorpe and languished there for many years:

With the sale of the Bruntingthorpe site to a non-aviation-minded entity, along with many other residents airframes she was cut-up with just these 'artefacts' thankfully saved for posterity

Hmm, more of a car than a rover. Actually, it looks like one of those low-slung truck cabs from the 80s, where the trailer fits over the top of the cab.
The Shire Cruisers hire-fleet moored-up at Sowerby Bridge Canal Basin. I couldn't get over how still the canal was, giving a more-or-less perfect reflection.
One of those giant cruisers omnipresent in the old towns along the Adriatic cost. Kotor, Montenegro.

Minor mods as of now include
All Pro winch front bumper
All Pro large bull bar
Trail gear rock rails
KC Hi-lite fog lights
KC Day lighters
...with more work to be done.
Thanks to my friend Hao for letting me use his car for it.
