r4canine Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Inspired by the FBTB contest "Star Wars Evolved", where entrants had to build new versions of iconic Star Wars ships, I thought I'd try my hand at updating some of my favourite ship designs in the Star Wars galaxy. First up, the Naboo Starfighter. Naboo N1 Starfighter Evolved MOC Overhead by R4canine, on Flickr I decided to get rid of the yellow colour scheme of the N-1 (only partly because I don't have many yellow bricks) to make the craft look more rugged and used. I imagine this is a much bulkier craft, packing heavier lasers and engines as well as a tail gun at the back controlled by the astromech. All this ensures the next in the line of Naboo Starfighters is more powerful than its predecessor, able to contend with pirates and other attackers when the New Republic military can't.

LegoRacer1 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Interesting build, I like it! It kind of reminds me of General Grievous ship. Quote
stormtroopercaptain Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 I like it it’s a Naboo fighter minus the glitz. Almost like they needed a faster and cheaper to produce version. It makes sense during WWII the US designed cheaper rougher version of alot of military vehicules and equipment to keep up with war demand. Quote

Everytime I see you, it stings that you still haven't finished the Venator instructions. Anyway, great build and nice job on the engine detail. Can it fit a pilot? It looks a bit tight Quote

I know, right!? WIth no intention of hijacking this thread - it stings me too :D But I can't do much - I am in the US and my builds are packed in boxes back in Czech Republic. I will go back in about 6 months :/ If you want to talk more, shoot me a PM please so we keep this about Naboo starfighter ;) Quote
