Well after seeing so many cool civilian space vehicles I couldn’t resist of trying to build one myself.

Inspired by those models I took the 4403 airblazers set and started building. I tried to build a slick model using some serious SNOT methods for the first time.

I finally got around with this:



Maybe this Scarab vehicle could be the corvette of the 25th century?!

Well enjoy the rest of the pics here

and PLMKWYT.

(...) Spotlighted, and well deserved. I love alt models made from official sets. It forces strong creative decisions to be made and you made them well. Are you someone who might turn this model into some building instructions for those of us who (...) (20 years ago, 3-Aug-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.loc.nl, lugnet.space)

(...) Hi Nathaneal, Just noticed this thread today or I would have posted sooner. I love your alternate model MOCs and this is another great one! Please keep building and sharing more. It's amazing how well you captured the "hover vehicle" style (...) (20 years ago, 6-Aug-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.loc.nl, lugnet.space)
  Re: 4403 MOC: Scarab hover vehicle
 
(...) That looks great. The curves blending into the side vents looks really nice, and I like the turbojet in the "hood". The short wings look sort of jagged, but that pretty much works. Also, I have to add that I think the Air Blazers color scheme (...) (20 years ago, 6-Aug-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.loc.nl, lugnet.space, FTX)
