    Little Help

    Hey guys, weird question. I'm building a LEGO model based off a starship from the Dark Horse "Tales of the Jedi." It's a big momma transport called the Nebulon Ranger.

    http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Crescent-X9

    These are really the only images I've seen online. I used to own this series but sold it back with all my other books. If anyone has a copy, and a scanner, I'd love to know if there are other shots of this ship in there. I'm having a hard time figuring out the basic frame, even with the schematic.

    If nothing else, I'll go to my LCS and get a few copies, I just thought I'd ask first.

    Thanks.

    "All too easy."


    Scanned from Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels. It's a pretty neat book, with write-ups and schematics of ships from the expanded Universe.

    Yeah I want that book, I have an older version but I think it's more droids and people.

    I actually found some images from someone who built it for a model contest and it had all kinds of different angles. What struck me is the rear angle had three more engines, ones I couldn't tell existed from the front. Plus a few other things like the angle of the cannons and fuel tanks.

    Thanks gents.

    Well, here it is. The model page I found was terribly useful. In the end it's 18" long and the wing is 36" and it weighs almost 5lbs. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who's built this ship out of LEGO (that I can find online anyway) so I hope Mr. Veitch likes it.

    That's pretty cool. 5 pounds? I always thought Lego was light plastic blocks. What'd you hide inside?
