This ship really bugs me
Or maybe it’s my own bad pun that bothers me. I do really like this ship, by -infomaniac-, though. It does a great job of capturing the shape of an insect in a space ship. The placement of the cockpit at the center is great concealment, it took me awhile to even spot it. I’m also a fan of the generally armored look, especially the use of minifig bases.

Junsier returns to Flickr with his best version of the Slave I. The almost sculptural quality of this creation captures the difficult curves of the ship. Jabba won’t have to wait long for his prize.
