Looking at the pictures again I got a few ideas for modifications and extra details. Back when I was building the old version of the ship I even found some guys trying to recreate the studio model – identifying the old model kits parts and all, a few years later the guy is still at it!

Even the frames used to hold the different kit parts have found their purpose. If you look closely at the studio model, you can find old model kit parts – warship hulls, rockets, racecar fenders, engines of all sorts, and different kinds of weaponry. As with most ILM models it was made from a wonderful cocktail of kit-bashed and custom-made parts. The model was one of the last finished models created for the Empire Strikes Back back in 1980. They have 200+ pictures of the model used in the movie. Thus I revisited the site I had used the first time I designed the model. Since I had to build the entire thing again, I thought it would be fun to see if I could improve it in some way and update the design. (It is ok if you skip past all the text and jump straight to the pictures below :) )Ī rainy Saturday afternoon in December, I decided to put my old Nebulon model back together after it had been displayed at AFOLCon. Hi guys, so what happened was that I accidentally build a BRAND NEW EF76 Nebulon B Medical Frigate! LEGO Digital Designer and other digital tools
