Advent Calendar: a box that is doing well ...

The box of the day reveals a microphone Republic Attack Gunship also known as LAAT (for Low-Altitude Assault Transport) of 13 pieces which is pretty decent. Stylish, really small, but okay. Articulated around the room 4595 (Brick, Modified 1 x 2 x 2/3 with Studs on Sides), it is believable and the resemblance to the original is still obvious. Note that the first model of this Advent Calendar (Republic cruiser) also uses this part 4595 as a central point.

In another context, I am regularly amazed when other AFOLs mention sets 7163 Republic Gunship (2002) or 7676 Republic Attack Gunship (2008) as their favorite set.
These two reproductions of the troop transport used by the I say and clone troopers and seen in action in theEpisode II Attack of the Clones and Episode III Revenge of the Sith really appeal to collectors. And I admit that I also have a soft spot for the 7676 set.

Speaking of Republic Attack Gunship, if you want a real beautiful mini of this ship, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to the set 20010 Brick Master Republic Gunship yet for sale on Bricklink for 15 €. It is particularly successful and I find it perfect on this scale.
