Check out this pic from Tim C's trip to the model shop at Enfield. (URL) know we'd never see something that cool in a set, but it sure does look neat. ~M (24 years ago, 30-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| | Question on the Shuttle??

(...) Mark, Thanks for the pic, it is definitely very cool. Do you or anyone else have an idea as to how to construct the side wings? After looking at the picture for a few moments, I realized that the wings (3 including the top fin) were (...) (24 years ago, 30-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Answer: 2x1 hinged bricks (probably glued to handle all that weight) See for yourself at:(URL) Yes people, it's the same model that was used on the LEGO/MLS Soccer Experience Truck Tour. (24 years ago, 30-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Now that's disappointing. I just hate to see models created by using glue. I understand that they need to glue things to get them to stay together, but I object to the use of glue for making the model itself. :^( ~Mark (24 years ago, 30-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I think the Enfield model sucks...yes, yes, it has the prominent features of the Imperial Shuttle, but it looks over-the-hill and bloated. A Nerf Shuttle! Way out of proportion and completely lacking in the sleek grace of the model from the movie. (...) (24 years ago, 30-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) <snip> I'm in complete agreement with you here. The model is way too wide! It looks chubby or something. The landing gear look pretty cool, and while the wings look cool if they did use glue to get the hinges to stay at that angle then that's (...) (24 years ago, 30-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)
