M-Bot, in Lego form! I've been working on this in bits and pieces (literally) ever since I read Skyward. Finished it about a month ago, and it's taken me this long to get around to taking some decent photos of it and uploading it here. I used Ben McSweeney's illustrations from Skyward as reference. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, though I wish I had a curved cockpit windshield in my collection-- I had to make do with the straight windshield piece you see here. Anyways, more angles on this model below. Angled top view:
Angled top, wings forward (yes, they move):
Profile (just pretend those two black stands aren't there):
Bottom (note the light-lance and acclivity ring ):
And yes, the acclivity ring moves (though its range of motion is nowhere near what's described in the book):
Spensa in the cockpit, control sphere in the right hand, throttle in the left (I almost mixed that up ):
And one last picture of Spensa and M-Bot, to top it all off:
