Posted July 14, 201410 yr My entry for the 14x14x6 small starfighter contest on flickr. Decided to make a little story behind the build. Hope you like it. "Makoban was a powerful sith inquisitor during the Old Republic era. She wielded a lightsaber, which blade was altered by her Force lightning abilities." "She piloted an unknown fighter, agile and small, it was also equipped with many weapons that made her a dreadful opponent both on land and in space." And it fits in a 14x14x5 studs box
July 14, 201410 yr Wow, excellent build, and cool story to go along with it! I love your minifigure, the detail is good, and the thruster engines look spectacular. Very impressive work, Bob!

July 14, 201410 yr The ship looks wider than 14x14? Either way, it looks a pretty damn neat lil thing! Lots of greebles packed into it. And I do like the Sith Inquisitor =D nice job =D

July 14, 201410 yr Absolut stunning work Bob!!! I'm excited about the technique on the ship! So small and yet extremely complex and detailed. Love it, geat colour and the fold up function is superb! good luck at the contest. markus

That was a challenge, as I wanted to have a complete cockpit, with a seat and controls, and most of the canopies I own are big for that contest. Here is a view of the cockpit: Very nice. Nobody expects Sith Inquisition. Thanks Monty Edited July 14, 201410 yr by Bob De Quatre
July 16, 201410 yr Great Sith! and great Ship too, I Gotta Ask, what Server are you on (if you stil play SWTOR) Very well done!
July 16, 201410 yr Author Very nice!! You would have my vote if I knew where to vote, if even possible. I don't even know how this will be judged Great Sith! and great Ship too, I Gotta Ask, what Server are you on (if you stil play SWTOR) Very well done! I stopped playing quite quickly in fact. Playing that game inspired me to build the Zenith, so didn't have much time to play Very nicely done! I especially love those SNOT wings. Thanks, I wanted to add more shapes to the wings, but was limited by the space available in that tiny 14x14x6 studs
July 16, 201410 yr AWESOME build there 'BDQ', I really like the SNOT wings.....nice and clean plus very Sith like except......it's very bright ! Brick On 'BDQ' !
July 17, 201410 yr Author AWESOME build there 'BDQ', I really like the SNOT wings.....nice and clean plus very Sith like except......it's very bright ! Brick On 'BDQ' ! Thanks 'LT'. Why do you say it's very bright? Is that a joke I don't get or something...
July 17, 201410 yr Thanks 'LT'. Why do you say it's very bright? Is that a joke I don't get or something... I think it's just that the ship is white, red and grey... similar to a Jedi ship... rather than the darker colours of a Sith ship. Not something I spotted at first though as I was too busy enjoying the build! ;)
July 17, 201410 yr I think it's just that the ship is white, red and grey... similar to a Jedi ship... rather than the darker colours of a Sith ship. Not something I spotted at first though as I was too busy enjoying the build! ;) Makoban is just demonstrating that the Sith need not be so monochromatic & dreary with everything black, black, and more black… she worries that if they keep it up, every Sith Lord in the Sith Empire and beyond, for thousands of years, will just do everything in black! That's a fun little ship! Given the colors, it could easily work as a Jedi/Republic fighter, too… but the Republic could stand to mix up its colors as well!
July 18, 201410 yr Author Thanks. It's true the ship's colors works for Republic too... But that's the only colors I got And honestly I build the fighter for the contest, and then decided to give it a story... And for once I wanted to have a "bad guy" minifig.
July 19, 201410 yr Everything about this is just stunning. Small really is beautiful. Edited July 19, 201410 yr by grum64
July 20, 201410 yr WHOA!!! Nice Model!!! I really like the landing pad for the model as well!!! Great job

I wasn't saying that I thought it needed changing!... As I said it wasn't something that I actually noticed in the build as the colours seemed to match Makoban anyway... it was more just explaining lightningtiger's comment... or at least what I thought he meant by it! :)
