![]() The pilot is new in this set.Īside from my earlier complaint about the wings, which is easily remedied, I actually think this is a pretty decent set, and similar to the latest X-wing and TIE Fighter we recently reviewed here on TBB, the proportions, and the finished details are quite accurate to the source material, and the price is fairly reasonable for a set with 660 pieces. This version of Luke has appeared in four other sets. The third minifig is the shuttle’s Imperial pilot. Luke comes with his calm Jedi-focused expression, as well as the one you see if you’re a Sith lord and you bring up his sister. ![]() ![]() Darth Vader comes with the now-standard 2 part helmet, to re-enact the scene when Luke lets his father see him with his own eyes if the set included a boarding ramp. The set includes 3 minifigs and a pair of wrist manacles to re-enact what could be the most awkward father-son ride in history. The mechanism includes a 1×2 rubber part that holds just enough tension to keep from slipping open while holding it, and I wiggled it a lot, but even when the model was finished, the connection held. Now we come to a surprising part of the model, which seems at first glance to be simply a Technic frame for the typically large dorsal fin to attach to, but turns out to be both a handle for picking up the finished shuttle and a mechanism to flip open the top gaining access to the passenger compartment. ![]() Also, the absence of even a single printed or stickered control panel makes one wonder if the pilot is force-sensitive, as there is no other way for him to actually pilot the shuttle. One other thing to note is that the way the top of the canopy attaches to the bottom leaves a very noticeable gap when viewed from the side. The canopy attaches at the front and tilts back to form the iconic angled cockpit. I guess Lord Vader will have to be more patient with him since there’s no co-pilot to take over after watching his boss get force-chocked for scratching the paint job. Next, we begin adding the lower portion of the cockpit, which unlike previous versions of the shuttle only seats a single minifig pilot. There are 2 sturdy click hinges facing out on each side which will attach to the wings later. You can use the parts inventory from the Sentinel page for free.The model starts off with the main body of the shuttle and we get a few relatively new parts an upward bracket plate with two studs facing out, and some 1×1 Technic axle bricks which first appeared in the new 75300 Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing set. Update Feb '21: I've added instructions for my new Sentinel Landing Craft on this page, so if you've bought this Micro Lambda/Tydirium you'll now have access to those instructions too. ![]() I am open to suggestions though.Īll of my micro Star Wars MOCs are as close to 1:250 scale as I can make them, if you'd like to see more photos and renders then head over to my Flickr and Instagram pages. Getting the cockpit right was the toughest part, the shaping has proven tough to replicate at any scale in Lego, but between this and another version without the notched curved slopes at the sides I think this wider looking version works slightly better. I build this micro version to be the Tydirium, it could of course also be Vader's unnamed shuttle ST321. I was lucky enough to be given set 75094 by my kids (thanks girls!), she’s an absolute beauty. 124 pieces, 8.8cm long and 14.7cm tall with wings extended, cost to build about £14.I don’t know, fly casual!” - Han Solo, on the sensitive subject of flying an Imperial Lambda Shuttle. “Keep your distance Chewie, but don’t look like you’re tryin’ to keep your distance. ![]()
