Brick Fanatics LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar – December 20

Brick Fanatics once more presents 24 exclusive builds from a galaxy far, far away for you this December. Day by day, please enjoy our Unofficial LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar… December 20 – Quadjumper The Quadjumper played a vital role in Star Wars The Force Awakens, sacrificing itself to ensure Rey and Finn escape Jakku on the Millennium Falcon. Start at the rear end by placing two SNOT plates bottom side to bottom side, then connect them with sloped grilles. Add a 2x1 plate into the recess of the plate. Prepare the base by placing two 2x1 tiles on to a 2x4 plate, leaving a gap between them. Stick two vertical clips to a 2x1 plate and add this, then stick another vertical clip to a 2x1 jumper plate. Fit these into the gaps. This becomes the feet when you turn it over on to the clips. Take two more SNOT plates, but this time connect them with an engine piece. Now prepare the four engines. Take a 1x1 plate with light holder (this is how we'll connect the engines to the body later) and connect a Technic tube to either side. A horizontal clip to all of the orange tubes, and just two of the grey tubes, paying attention to which way the light holder is facing. A 1x1 tile clips into just two of the ends, again paying attention to the picture, as these are the fins on the top rear of the ship. Attach the two bottom engines to the rear of the 2x4 plate used for the legs. The grille section can be added to the rear end, the other towards the front. Add 1x1 tiles with rounded ends on to the grille section. The top engines are then connected into the recess left in the middle. This is covered by 2 wheel arch pieces. Can yours last longer than The Force Awakens without blowing up?
