cool! can't wait to see it. I like seeing all these different variations on
the same ship done by so many AFOLs... it really gives a good example of how
individual working style affects the designs we all do.
As for the Slave I, that was the most "fun" ship to make so far.... The AT-AT
was sort of enjoyable to do, but there were enough design problems that it was
a challenge to build it the way I wanted to. The Falcon was a total chore.
The most intense 3 weeks of Lego building I have ever done. But the shape of
the Firespray is so sloped and curved that the real challenge was just getting
all the contours right (which I didn't do, but I was close enough to satisfy
me). After all the detail work and large size building of the Falcon, it was a
nice simple model. Actually, the only "feature" I added into the Slave I was
the tilting cockpit seat. I used the small technic chain link and looped it to
the side fins so the seat tilts when the fins are rotated.
cheers!
