I wasn't really satisfied with the escape pod shown on the box, so I added some more pieces to it and rebuilt it the way I wanted it to look. My model is largely based on the escape pod diagram shown in Star Wars: Incredible Cross-Sections. I gave the pod four engines, which belong on the top, and I added a train window. Since my biggest complaint with the original model was that the large curved pieces made it look and feel unlike a LEGO model, I replaced two of them with a wall I made out of bricks. Here the escape pod is pictured landing in front of my keyboard. |
