The Theta-Class Imperial Shuttle from Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

About this creation

The long awaited Theta-Class Shuttle. This was probably the only LEGO MOC I hadn't seen anywhere else, in minifig scale at least. I was tempted to build this because of that.

Another fact about this build was that it originated as a fire speeder. The canopy I was building made me think of this shuttle, so I began building the Theta that night. It took a while, but here it is.

An update: I've posted newer pics of a higher quality. They look newer, I think, too.

The pic that has become my new favorite

The cockpit opened

The interior

Enlarge image

The neck and cockpit panels have been closed here. You can see the top section on the side.

Enlarge image

The boarding ramp and landing gear. This was the first model I actually designed to have a boarding ramp from the vry begining.

A nice front shot. Notice the wedge pieces used. It took a while to find all of them.

Enlarge image

The enines weren't planned in the begining. Instead, they were added on near the end.

The top wing was interesting to make. It took many tries to get the shape right.

Enlarge image

The inner-workings of the wing. SNOT was critical.

A nice overall shot

Enlarge image

The profile

My favorite shot. The shape of the wings is apparent. The size of the model is shown here, as well.

The backside. You can see the aft turret, yes?

The display card. I try to make one for every great model. I was compelled to do one for the Theta.

I tried to build the Theta-class shuttle as well but failed. You did it! Although I think that the cockpit window needs a bit of work. Try using the cockpit window off Jango Fett's Slave 1 perhaps. I didn't have the pieces to make it work, but you might!

This is a very accurate and detailed version of the shuttle. But I think that you should have a pic with Palpatine and his troopers in there.

This is one of my favorite prequel ships and you have done an excellent job rendering it in bricks. The shape is quite accurate. Very Nice!!

LOVE it. I love to use this ship in battlefront II. My only complaint is that the cockpit windshield looks a little bit...wrong. Just look it up on the battlefront website.

Amazing! Your work has always been incredible. I was planning on building this, but yours just blew that thought away. Keep up the great work!
