Started building immediately and already got one...
Now I read this thread, and it says: room needed for 2 prisoners...

Bah! mine only fits 1!
Mad

Back to the drawing board... Sad

EDIT: can the figs in the cargohold lay down next to each other?
Since you say: room for 2 figs, well, I have room for two figs, but they're not sitting...

I don't think that Jango will mind if his "cargo" is on top of each other Wink

well to clear it up for anyone else there are two contests:
Minifig scale slave III
Mini scale slave III
If I have 7 or more contestants in the minifig scale I will give a scout for the prize, same thing goes for the mini scale. If I have 30 or more contestants in all I will offer a grand prize for the best slave in all which is the 4502 x-wing.

I hope that clears everything up.

OK, Yes I'm here and still alive as to some concerns more specificly 1 :D but non the less I think I'll have to do this as I once had a sweet 99.9% custom Slave I, wich was taken to scrap for parts. So watch out here I come Darky, Goldy, Schism's, Greedy, and of course all the rest Razz

May I present to you my Slave III!

I built it out of a single set, the #7259 ARC-170.
It follows the same frame structure, until you start the details.
I got the Figs in a few other sets.
One of the figs stands, like Boba, while the other sits upside down. (Boba's ship wasn't built for comfort Twisted Evil

).
It doesn't have a cargo hold that fits 2 people AS SUCH, but it has 3 smal ones, 2 of which can fit a prisoner in each.
Boba stands in the cockpit, but the cockpit moves down in flight, so he still stands.
The rear of the ship has the Cargo hold, sorry the pic of it is a bit blurry.
The pix should be up and running in a few days.

Thank you, and good luck to the other participants.

Hey I might be entering, can I use Lego Digital Designer? In real life I've only got a couple of sets and can't get more at the time. So, can I use LDD?

Whoooooops! I'm so stupid I forgot to read the new rules! Sorry.

Here's my Slave III.

Similiarly designed to the Slave I, this vehicle is considerably smaller and made out of lighter material. It has one hyperdrive engine and features controls that are simple. The maintenence factor was not taken into consideration because with our ship it does not require maintenence!

Fits three minfigs (Boba+two bounties)

Boba chose blue to honour his father.

Here it is, My Slave III!!!!!!! Very Happy

Boba Fett's Slave III has an unusual cockpit that sits on the bottom of the ship instead of on top. On top is a prisoner observation deck. Slave III's weapons include 4 lasers, a double missle system, and 4 flamethrowers to burn the enemy's cockpit, and shatter it. Shocked

Behind the hinge doors is the escape pod, equipped with life support system to survive the ambush. The prisoner deck is separated from Boba and the Escape pod to prevent any escape. If Boba is under attack, he can shoot the prison deck at the enemy, sacrifices must be made, and besides, Boba can capture someone else! ::D: the ship was made small to increase speed, because if he was to capture, say a Rebel from a Rebel Base, then he could get away quicker.

Here's the Cargo, but if you want the escape pod, you'll have no room for extra passengers. And the escape pod can oly fit Boba, unless his heart sacrifices himself for a passenger (though I doubt it). I don't want to restart to make room for passengers. There is room for a passenger in the cockpit, and if you add the prison deck, then you've got 2 passengers/bounties!

Yeah, the escape pod is small, but if you're life were on the line, you wouldn't care. This is my best Star Wars MOC yet! Very Happy

Using a flamethrower can be useful in battles over planets while within the orbit and gravitational pull. Smile

ThePlasticJedi · Posted: Wed Aug 24, 2005 9:04 pm Post subject:

Jestermereel please refrain from criticizing at this time, let them do whatever they want and if they want flame throwers well then I guess we'll have fried bounties Wink

. If donrayiv wanted to be criticized he would have posted a MOC thread.
