A little like something from Lilo and Stitch! Very good!
Thanks Man! :)
Huge news on the Homeworld Front! The Remastered Edition is being released on my Birthday! February 25th!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXjI3DgyOqMSo thats pretty cool!! Not everyday a Game from 1999 gets remade/fully updated -over 15 years later!
In other building news though, in novermber I started tinkering with a simple Taiidan fighter made with Legos. The Goal was to make it cheap, quick to build and easier to paint so I could test out new schemes and colors. I thought about entering it in the The Book/Movie/Game…GB, but I was worried I wouldn't be able to finish in time. It was accurate but man how could I NOT be in that GB!
Anyway here is some of the highlights of construction and experiments to find something that worked.
Paper test Fins added. Notice also the different colored Legos. My plan is to save time and cut down on masking by gluing only certain parts. leaving some removable and taking advantage of the uniform size and easy building ability of the legos. :)

Finding Canopies was a pain, couldn't find something I really liked.
I had a really convoluted plan to drill the barrels out using three pieces. Ended up using just one piece and drilling it (Sometimes you outsmart yourself)
I also looked to have few visible bumps to remove. replacing them with Styrene strip
The cool thing about Legos is they are easy to build jigs for. I created one to drill a hole for the stand.
More updates to come :)
