Juggernaut Fortress microship

Jerak uses brown in his most recent creation to construct a heavily armed micro spaceship called the Juggernaut Fortress, based off the Clairconctlar Pinnacle.

Heit Boloambar’s custom RXAC-342v

While everyone was oohing and aahing over Nnenn‘s recent modular ships, I realized we’d neglected to blog his beautifully swooshable minifig-scale fighter:
