How to Build a Mini LEGO Republic Attack Shuttle

Construct the base of the shuttle. Place two flat white two-by-four pieces next to one another, long sides together. Connect them by snapping a flat white two-by-three piece on top of both, at the seam. On either side of this piece, at the end where all three pieces are flush, place a single-circle red piece - a cylindrical attachment facing outward. Also on either side of the two-by-three piece, but at the opposite end of the bottom pieces, place a one-by-two white piece, with the hooks facing outward.

Build up the base. Across the end of the base, and covering both red pieces, place a flat white one-by-four piece. Behind this, place a second set of flat white two-by-four pieces, again next to one another with long sides together.

Attach the gun barrels. Snap one barrel in place on each side of the base, snapping each into the white hooks and inserting the end of each into the red cylindrical extensions. Attach the green end piece to each. Also attach a red cap, with black blaster extension, to each red cylindrical extension.

Construct the shuttle's ends. Atop the red end of the shuttle, which will become the shuttle's front end, place a black one-by-two piece in the center. This attaches to a front piece covering the entire front of the existing shuttle. On either side of this piece, place a triangular red piece, sloping outward. At the back end of the shuttle, place a black piece identical to that placed at the front, surrounded by two white triangular pieces. Attach the green exhaust ports to the black back end.

Build the bulk of the shuttle. Atop the black piece at the rear, attach a flat white two-by-two piece. Directly in front of this (and atop the black piece at the front), attach a flat white two-by-three piece. On top of this piece, place a flat red one-by-two piece, with the bar extending off the front of the shuttle. Behind this red piece, place a row of four rectangular white pieces with a single circle atop each. On these, and beginning directly behind the red piece at the front, place a red triangular piece, sloping forwards, followed by a flat white one-by-four piece. Top this last piece with a smooth-topped one-by four cap piece.

Build the passenger compartment. Atop the gray square piece, attach a black hook, red compartment pieces, and clear windshield. On each side of the gray square, attach the white armor pieces.

Attach the passenger compartment. Snap the black hook onto the red bar extending off the front of the shuttle.

Build the wings. To each red wing piece, attach a white slanted four-by-one armor piece, followed by a white two-by one hook piece. Don't forget the yellow accent pieces.

Attach the wings. Snap each wing onto the white gun barrels.

Attack.
