As soon as 75336 Inquisitor Transport Scythe was revealed, comparisons with 75156 Krennic's Imperial Shuttle began. The shared colour scheme and hull shape are instantly identifiable and these models also incorporate similar construction techniques, which is hardly surprising given both shuttles were designed by Hans Burkhard Schlömer. The double-sided head displays dark orange facial hair, alongside fairly neutral and determined expressions. 75334 Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Darth Vader features the same updated head and Obi-Wan's classic lightsaber is similarly repeated. However, this figure should also have included a blaster pistol. It can be displayed both in "Flight Mode" (Wings folded down) as well as "Landed Mode" (Wings folded up). The transition between these two display styles is quite simple and easy to do with just a single person. The goal here was to give others who build the MOC the ability to choose their display style based on how much spare room they have. The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. Minifigures You probably completed that build a few weeks ago, and wings already start to bend. It can (and it will !) only go worth over time. Even official product with way less constraint tend to bend over time (10030, 75095, 10212, and probably a few others).

Weapons include 2 blasters for the Imperial Death Troopers, Krennic's blaster, Bodhi's blaster pistol and Pao's blaster rifle. For example, joins are very important on a UCS model. And the joins here are not better than what we can see on the official playset model. I think the best way to describe the wing weight here is that yes, physics determines that over time the torque from the tips of the wings will cause bending of the wing shape, BUT it will be miniscule, if even noticeable at all (Cavegod's has been standing for 6 months and looks good as new).The live-action appearance of the Grand Inquisitor provoked controversy when his design was revealed, noticeably deviating from the established Pau'an species. Thankfully, minifigure form disguises this inconsistency and the leader of the Inquisitorius appears suitably menacing, with pale skin and piercing red eyes! I think you should have go with a model that is "only" 50% bigger than 75156. This scale would have been more than enough to have all the details you need, and you would have strongly reduce all the problems related to structures (beyond some point, those can not be removed, this is why it is important not to make the model pointlessly big). To make it short, you have a model that is twice bigger but you are are far from having twice more details. In other words, you had to deal with all the problems of a big build (complex build, bending parts), without taking advantage of it. Fifth Brother, like the Grand Inquisitor, has appeared in minifigure form previously. Once again though, this minifigure shares little with its predecessor, wearing darker armour and reflecting the many differences between the Fifth Brother's animated and live action designs. His shoulder armour looks excellent and I appreciate the distinctive headgear too, which does return from the 2016 minifigure. Um, some constructive criticism would be appreciated if it contained specificity rather than simply stating you think they look terrible.

The scale I think needed to be this large because if it is only slightly bigger than the official set, that doesn't really bring much to the table. At minifigure scale it puts the size of the ship into perspective, and composed of 2,000 pieces (The base is the other 2,000+ pieces thanks to the grass), there's no wasted space here, every piece has a purpose. This set features three Inquisitors from Kenobi, but omits the character of the Fourth Sister. This less prominent member appears in fewer scenes and with less dialogue-if any?-than her compatriots. I’m not sure what the best way to include her might be, unless they make more sets based on season one of the series or include her in season two or some other project. One of the best possibilities is, of course, Fortress Inquisitorious, which has potential for including many of the missing Inquisitors. As expected, 75336 Inquisitor Transport Scythe looks absolutely brilliant. Clever combinations of wedge plates and tiles recreate the Scythe's characteristic shape and the interior is impressively spacious, with more than enough room for the provided Inquisitors. The minifigures are splendid too, although also including Uncle Owen would have been even better. Includes 5 minifigures: Pao, Director Krennic, Bodhi Rook and 2 Imperial Death Troopers, plus a K-2SO.Obi-Wan Kenobi appears in three summer sets and this version takes inspiration from his attire on Tatooine, hardly resembling the character's traditional Jedi garb. The dark tan poncho looks splendid and I love the sand blue shirt underneath, which introduces some colour, without losing the earthy shades associated with Tatooine's desolate terrain. As for the Ninth Sister, who is Bigfig material if ever a Star Wars character has been, she also has a few possibilities. My vote would be to include her in a set based on the TIE Reaper, her apparent preferred method of transport. This unusual TIE variant appeared briefly in Rogue One but has yet to appear in Lego form. It would thus not only give us the chance for a new vehicle, but a character who would be only the second physical female Bigfig after Ninjago’s Dogshank.

I am thrilled to be sharing this MOC with everyone, it is a UCS Krennic's Shuttle. The original model is courtesy of @cavegod, it was a pleasure to work with Pete again. He sent me over the LDDs to get started on the instructions, and after going through the model and building a scenic display, I built the model and am over the moon with it.The thing here is that you have a huuuge shuttle, but the level of details and the finishes are not really better than the official product 75156. Especially given how talented of a MOC builder/developer you are, not quite sure why you’d leave such a vague and snarky comment...
