Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighter
A V-wing to accompany the ARC-170!
click here for a video showcasing the landing gear 'play feature'.
Another PT ship that was very difficult to represent in LEGO form, mainly due to the angled nose.
I think it's a bit bulky compared to what we see in the movies, but the size was largely determined by the gear system used to move the wings (The original LEGO set had the moving wings as a play feature- I wanted to add that to this one too).
I'd like to revise this in the future- make it less wide and add some stability to that sloped nose. But overall, I'm pretty happy with it. I'm glad I got the 'play faetures' in and I quite like the way the cockpit turned out (there was a lot of debate regarding which canopy would be the most accurate).
