Someone starts off by building a starfighter and ships it to the next player, they keep it and build a Continue reading →
This all started with an email from Peter Morris a few months back which basically said that we should really be building starfighters that transform.

He uses both a schematic and an edited background to showcase his latest LEGO model. The model itself is a fun little build with Continue reading →

If you enjoyed Martin Latta’s ARC-170 starfighter, you can now build your own thanks to the instructions posted by the builder. It’s rare that a builder takes the time to make instructions for models and shares them with the public. Even if you don’t plan on reconstructing the model, it can still be rewarding to Continue reading →
Martin Latta’s (thire5) UCS scale ARC-170 starfighter is very easy on the eyes with its smooth sculpting on the nose, engines, and pretty much everywhere else.
