Eric Law: Harry Potter Ninjago City and Moving Staircase Scene
Data File: Resistance Transport The Resistance Transport was first seen in Star Wars: The Force Awakens as the transport of General Leia Organa. Basically a patchwork ship, it has a weapons pod, a transport module, and a cockpit pod that was repurposed and modified from a B-Wing Mark II. The transport can carry 20 troops and, while armed with a laser cannon, is usually escorted by fighters.
During college, I still purchased sets from time to time, always from the Star Wars franchise, but I would not have considered myself an AFOL (Adult Fan of LEGO) until December of 2019. My son was given almost 40 pounds of LEGO from his grandmother as a Christmas present. My wife and I took on the monumental task of sorting all the parts so we could more easily put sets together. While searching for a place to buy parts for some of the sets, I stumbled upon Papaglop’s Razorcrest and Mirko Soppelsa’s TS-Project. I had never put someone else’s MOC together and the fact that both of them created instructions for their builds was mind blowing to me. I wanted to learn how to do that myself! Building those first two MOCs were the sparks that led me down the path to creating MOC-BW2001: The Resistance Troop Transport Ship.
Why do you choose the LEGO brick as your medium to express yourself?
I was always creative growing up. I loved to draw, paint and build models from kits. It is why I chose the field of design as a profession. I love my job; however, most of the things I work on only exist in the digital realm. I think there is something to be said about working with a digital medium because it can be shared all over the world in a matter of seconds. But I think it is important to differentiate what is to be consumed online versus in person. IF YOU ENJOYED THIS PREVIEW, CLICK THE LINK TO ORDER THIS ISSUE IN PRINT OR DIGITAL FORMAT!
