One of my most recent Lego creations, a small spacefighter I cobbled together from an old Star Wars kit and my spare parts box. I call it the "Emerald Thunder".
Designed as a light assault fighter, the Emerald Thunder is lightly armored and armed, with only a pair of laser cannons mounted underneath the hull. Most of her punching power is in her missile pods, mounted astride the main body. Each pod conceals four homing missiles and one Orange Transparent Chainsaw-tipped FDS Missile for a deadly, albeit short, barrage.
Included in this image is the ship's pilot, my sigfig Professor Ken, as a size comparison.

You guessed exactly right. I bought that set (http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/7133-1) way back in 2002 on the clearance rack. Zam's speeder fell apart a few months after I built it, and I just never cared to repair it. Then, I finally decided it was time to make something new out of it, and voila.

Well you did get the set right, 'cos I first thought of the geonosian starfighter set (I think it also had those long things on the side).dcl32 wrote:yeah, I knew the name just didn't fell like saying it for some reason.

I thought it looked like it because of the windshield or whatever you want to call it and the things sticking out in the front
