Built this last year but just didn’t have a way to photograph it due to its size. The top part flies away as a glider-like craft while the bottom works as a Fire Fighting platform and rescue-raft deployment zone.
An orange Sikorsky sky crane sits on the apron with its tail boom and suction hose trailing, the low pink light of dusk on the fuselage. A second orange helicopter with a Erickson logo sits behind it.
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!

Eigentlich bin ich da nur vorbeigelaufen .. aber als ich das sah .. da wusste ich .. das muss ich haben!
Actually, I just passed by .. but when I saw that .. I knew .. I have to have that!
Lightning bugs or fireflies (Photinus pyralis) are the world's most efficient light producers. The lightbulbs we manufacture produce heat due to their inefficiencies, sometimes wasting as much as 90% of their energy as heat energy and using only 10% of it to actually generate light. 100% of the energy lightning bugs put into making light, actually makes light! Also, they can generate light throughout their entire lifecycles. Their larvae can produce light, and some lightning bug species' eggs can even flash when disturbed!

Somalia Industrial District. Forgotten, abandoned, destroyed. So what is DARKWATER up to? Why come back to a obliterated facility? That's what I'd like to know. That's why we're sending in troops to go find out. DARKWATER is sneaky and attacks quickly and viciously. We cannot let them attack us like they did the US.

This is the scene I have been working on! Skrillbrix designed the wall with the windows so kudos to him! This is also a sequel to this - www.flickr.com/photos/cc-7576/7717951570/in/photostream
Wanted to do an action shot of my last scene with better lighting. I've overused this moc a lot so far but don't worry you'll only have to see it one more time, and it'll look completely different ;) thank you for your support Flickr. Be prepared for more posts soon also!
Thanks a bunch,

this is a simulator that can produce what is called a backdraft
It is used to teach firefighters to recognize the signs of a backdraft. I.E. the smoke color and movement as it is ocuring.
An abandoned papermill virtually untouched by vandalism or graffiti. Not sure about the whole history but it dates back to the 1920s/30s.
