Posted May 23, 20168 yr Now as a Lego Ideas project!: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/144109/ Hi! I was watching the Phantom Menace for millionth time (I like this movie, it's bad but I can't avoid this feeling) and decided to built a Naboo Cruiser. I decided to make it like a set, with some playable features: Naboo Royal Cruiser by hachiroku24, en Flickr (in this photo, I added digitally the noise and the film lens flare like in the movie. I'm glad with the result).

May 23, 20168 yr Absolutely fantastic! I dislike the prequels but this thing is stunning. How many pieces did you use? And does it have an interior?
May 23, 20168 yr Author Fantastic ship! Thanks! Absolutely fantastic! I dislike the prequels but this thing is stunning. How many pieces did you use? And does it have an interior? I can build something in the interior, but right now it's empty. I guess it's around 400-500 bricks. Edited May 23, 20168 yr by hachiroku
May 23, 20168 yr Nicely done, refreshingly different from the other SW ships. Is it done all grey or did you convert the photo to B&W?

May 23, 20168 yr Ok in my opinion, this is the single most underbuilt ship in the prequels -- probably due to the un-brickable curves -- that's not just some obscure easter egg (right behind Zam Wessel's speeder). This is also my favorite prequel ship ( ) and you've captured it beautifully. Absolutely love the boarding ramp and landing gear, plus the droid compartment. Nicely done
May 23, 20168 yr Yes! I was wondering if anyone could build this ship. You've captured the smooth curves very well. Anxious to see what you do for the interior!
May 23, 20168 yr Wow you did a phenomenal job on this ship. I also like ep. 1. It's my favorite of the prequels.
May 23, 20168 yr I'd absolutely buy this if it were sold as an official set, you did a great job capturing the shape. According to current cannon, Vader still owns this ship between ANH and ESB, so it's good to see that it lived on in good hands (relatively speaking, of course.)
May 24, 20168 yr This would have been a much more interesting set then yet another of Darth Maul's ships that we ended up getting a few years back. You have proven you don't need chrome silver to make this into not just a decent build but a fantastic one! Excellent work!
May 24, 20168 yr The ship looks pretty good! Although some of the angles on the ship looks totally off, but it's understandable since this is the best you can built because of the curvy lines on the source material.
May 24, 20168 yr I always wished they'd made this ship into a set, and made it full crome. It would be a thing of beauty. Also I love episode one as well as being a fan of the prequels, I hope in the future they will bring out more prequel sets and this to be one of them. I'm currently working on a gian speeder used by the naboo security forces, there are some interesting veichles to work with in TPM.
May 24, 20168 yr I like this movie, it's bad but I can't avoid this feeling Same here I'm still waiting for TLG to make this ship ! I like yours. This isn't common to build a Naboo cruiser, so any build is welcome, but your one is really good. I just find the landing geargs a bit too much simple. I hope you will do something nice for the interior.
May 24, 20168 yr Amazing, now we need all that pieces to be chrome and it would be even more stunning to see!
May 25, 20168 yr Maybe you can look at this BL store: http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=Aurimax I remember using them to build Anio's chrome Royal Naboo Starship. :)
May 25, 20168 yr This is a really nice build. Do you have a parts list or instructions on a build. I would really like to build this!
May 26, 20168 yr Author This is a really nice build. Do you have a parts list or instructions on a build. I would really like to build this! No, I won't do instructions. I think it's a very simple building. You can do reverse engineering on it
May 27, 20168 yr Very well done and looks great, especially for having such a small piece count. I think it would look great on a flight-mode stand. Edited May 27, 20168 yr by Schneeds
June 11, 20168 yr Author I put this on Lego Ideas: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/144109 I don't have high expectations, but I have the pics so... Why not? PS: It's still awaiting for approval, so you won't see it yet. EDIT: It's ON!!!! Edited June 13, 20168 yr by hachiroku
