I used to be a lego master, and as I now have my own place and an income, I started thinking about what I could create. Then it hit me- in the vein of the Lego Mini Star Wars sets, make a Mini Loroi Cruiser.

I'm not aiming to build a specific ship class, more of a generic Loroi warship, in order to better work within the limitations of micro-scale Lego building. With no further ado, this is my first design:

I'm currently rather pleased with the primary hull shape, but the engines leave a good bit to be desired. Fiddling with my limited supply of parts (pardon the odd colors and the somewhat-off primary hull) I came up with this configuration:

This configuration makes the engine nacelle a bit shorter and more rounded, adds some heavy beam weapons to the side of the engine, and adds an attempt at a side fin (the square on the side- should look better when the clip and the square are gray and white, respectively) and an engine exhaust flap (yellowish brick).
Outsider fans, tell me what you think! My plan is to refine the design using tests with what bricks I have, doing the primary design work in Lego's Digital Designer tool, then order the physical bricks to build the completed design.
