This is minifig scale dude not micro scale.

Just for the lulz, you should make some micro ships, and then have it go to town on them.

No way, this thing is going to be way more impressive going against the Mars and Artemis. It will probably be a little bit taller than your giant spaceship is long, correct?

I didn't mean make it micro scale, I just thought it would be cool to pretend it was micro scale at one point so that it could poke massive star cruisers right out of the sky.

But I can definitely settle for squishing minfigs and headbutting MIGs!

your gonna have to make massive flying bases now.

Its height will be a bit less than ¾ the length of my cruiser. Keep in mind that the cruiser is like 4 feet long (148 studs) so it would be really hard to build something that tall.

Oh, okay. That's still really big though, three feet. I'd like to see the stats for it, haha.

The core module is nearing completion. It now has its main front armour. The stuff is so thick... It will take special weapons to punch through that.

The core close up.

Omg wtf is this shit? It's the hatch for the cockpit!!

You can't see it but the pilot gets a nice headrest. The cockpit can be ejected in case of emergency as you can see here, but it doesn't have much in the way of propulsion so once you eject you're kinda screwed anyway.

Here's how everything looks.

This thing is maybe 20% done now. Once my parts come in I'll get the shoulders done.

Those decal-ed slopes work perfectly.

Those are from the ARC-170 star fighter.

Glassing a planet would own it, FYI.
Anyways, the mech is teh pwn. But I'm still not joining the Assyrians if I have ships that can Glass planets and bombard them.

God damn, this is looking swell.
If I had the means, I would really love to build one of my own.

Man I just spent another $80 on Brick Link for this model. It's burning a hole in my bank acct. :[ Fortunately I get paid next week, but the thing that astonishes me is how for this order I looked at the part list and went line by line for which pieces to get and I still had a huge cost result like that. But the parts I needed so whatever. Mostly it's that I'm just dead out of white parts. Between this thing's upper body and my big cruiser I seriously have next to none left.

All I managed to build today were the upper legs just above the knee. They're pretty low-tech and not particularly interesting, so no pictures of them here.

I didn't realize how much work you're putting into this. this is like my stealth combat ship, about a year ago, I built floor plans for the bridge and crew quarters decks but now it is a semi-acceptable stealth destroyer. when you finish this thing, I'd better have my troop transport built, otherwise I may suffer casualties
