Front of the Vehicle
Attach a grey 2-stud vent to the middle of the 10-stud side of a 10-by-6-stud plate. Place a red 2-by-2 brick with a technic pin on either side of the vent. There should be two of them, with the pins pointing away.
Place the grey 10-stud by 6-stud plate next to two brown 4-by-10 stud plates. The pins are on the back, the brown plates at the front. Attach them together with a brown 1-by-10-stud brick at the outer edges of the red bricks.
Place a red 2-by-2 brick on the outside of one of the brown bricks, at the front end of the piece. Place two L-shaped plates next to it, with the vertical parts facing outward. Repeat on the other side.
Place a tan 2-by-1-stud brick atop the red bricks along the outer edge of the model. There are four bricks in all. Place two black turbine-shaped pieces at the back of the model on the outsides, behind the L-plates.
Place a white 2-by-10-stud brick across the model, so the ends meet the line between the L-plates. Place two more red 2-by-2 bricks at the front, behind the tan bricks.
Place a brown 2-by-2-stud brick in each channel on the turbine bricks. Place a black 6-by-2-stud brick between the white crossbeam and the tan brick in front of it on both sides.
Place tan 2-by-2 bricks on top of the tan bricks at the back. Place two more between the black bricks from the previous step, atop the red bricks.
Place a 2-by-3-stud plate on the vertical end of an L-plate, and place that in the middle of the channel inside the model.
Place four 2-by-2-stud angled towering bricks, which are 3-bricks tall, along the front. Attach two tan 2-by-6 plates on top of the turbines at the back. This makes the top of the model flat.
Place two 2-by-12-stud plates on either side, and a 1-by-10-stud plate around the sides and back of the model. Attach a black 2-by-2 flat plate on the tops of the inner-most flat plates, and a 1-by-6-stud flat plate behind that.
Place a 2-by-4 stud angles brick hanging off the sides of the model, at the front. Place two 1-by-2-stud angled bricks at the back, so they form a trapezoid shape over the turbines, with the end of one hanging off the side.
Use three 1-by-4-stud bricks with channels along the sides to form a channel. The channel should face the center of the model. Repeat on the other side. This channel is how the multi-troop deployment piece will attach to the vehicle.
Place two more 2-by-2 towering angled bricks on the tops of the angled brick, extending the curve. Repeat on the other side. Place a 1-by-2 towering angled brick atop the rear-most angled bricks as well.
Attach two 1-by-2 stud angled bricks at the top-front of the model. Place two 1-by-8-stud bricks across the top of the model at the front, and a third at the back.
Install a 10-by-6- plate which goes between the two crosspieces added previously. Attach a 1-by-6-stud brick in front of that. Place a 3-by-1-stud plate on top of the angled bricks at the front, and a black round single-stud at the back. Repeat on the other side.
Put 2-by-2 double-angled bricks at the front corners of the top platform, and a 1-by-2-stud angled brick behind those. Place a 2-by-4-stud brown brick behind that.
Place a red 2-by-2 brick behind the brown brick in the center of the platform, and a black seat-piece behind that. Place two 1-by-2-stud angled bricks at the back of the platform, and a tan 1-by-4-stud brick between them.
Build the front door mechanism. Place a 1-by-2-stud brick on either end of a 2-by-6-stud plate. Place the door panel between them. Attach a grey, pointed 1-by-2-brick (three angles) in the center of the door panel, and two brown side-hung hinged pieces behind it, with the hinges in the center. Connect the hinge backs to the door, and hang it from the center of the model on the front. Place a control panel in front of the seat, behind the hinge.
Put a brown 2-by-2 angled brick on top of the hinge, and a 1-by-2 window brick on top of that. Place the 1-by-2 thin tower (three bricks tall, but C-shaped) on the back of the model. Place a pilot droid in the seat.
Place towering 2-by-2 double-angled bricks around the cockpit window. Place 1-by-2 stud towers on either side of the back tower. Cap both front and back points with back-to-back 1-by-2 angled bricks.
Build the roof by placing two 1-by-8-stud plates side by side underneath a 2-by-10-stud plate, and spanning the gap between the two points.
Attach four laser cannons with orange rounded single studs in the ends to the vertical plates at the bottom of the model. Place the semicircular shield-shaped pieces around the cannons.
Build the walls out of two 4-by-10 plates. Attach grey hinge pieces at the bottom outer corners of the door, and a 1-by-6-stud brick between those hinge peces, set 1-stud into the bottom. Place 1-by-8-stud plates at the top and across the hinges at the bottom of the door. Flip the door over, attach the brown side-hinges to the ends and a grey L-shaped 1-by-2 piece to the tops of the doors at the center. Make two doors.
Attach the doors on either side of the model, so they fit over the cockpit when folded up. Leave the doors down and keep them in place with two 2-by-6-stud bricks connecting the black channel-fronted bricks and the hinge bricks.
