Posted November 23, 20168 yr Hello everyone, here is my newest MOC, Naboo N1 Royal Starfighter. I did put my best effort to make it as accurate as possible and fully functional as well. The starfighter has the following functions: - The laser cannons can be fired from a button at the bottom of the fighter. - The laser cannons can be fired also by pulling the joystick in the cockpit. - The fighter has a blue proton torpedo that can be launched by pulling a technic axel at the side of the fighter. - The canopy slides open by pressing a hidden button on near the laser cannons. - R2 unit can be removed and there is a secret storage box under the R2 unit containing a blaster and a medpack. Link to Youtube video describing the functions: Many have asked me to do the instructions for the fighter. I may do them before Christmas when I get the fighter back, it is now being displayed in a local Lego Store called PiiPoo in Helsinki. Meanwhile, if you are interested, there are already instructions fo that droideka in the video. They can be found here: http://www.bricklink.com/store/home.page?p=Samppu&itemID=104654445#/shop?o={"invID":"104654445"} - Samppu Edited November 23, 20168 yr by Samppu
November 24, 20168 yr Wow! That is an awesome model! So many functions in the fighter. Excellent job! Please make the instructions when you have a chance, this is a beautiful ship!
November 24, 20168 yr Great model with smartly integrated functions. I like it very much. Now, what's that LEGO store called again?
November 24, 20168 yr As much as I love some of the details (droid seating, smart made wider bottom) there are too many gaps and shape inconsistencies for my liking. I understand that you aimed to have the shapes as correct as possible but I would personally prefer more "smooth" finish, even if that meant minor discrepancies.

Haha, I just now realized it may sound very interesting in English.. = D But here is a link, it is located in the city center of Helsinki, worth to visit if you come to Finland:http://www.piipoo.com/helsinki/index_en.php (It is not an official Lego store, but an enterprise of a friend) Thank you for all your feedback. =) faire: there is indeed a few holes left there, and I understand your viewpoint. It is often a matter of compromise what features are the most important and what are not. As you said, I decided to make the best effort on correct shapes and functions, even though with a prize of these holes. - Samppu
January 16, 20178 yr Very nice! That droideka looks good and the joystick function is mind-blowing Slide out cockpit is nice too
January 16, 20178 yr Fantastic job on capturing the ship, love the parts usage as well as the angles. It really helps give it perspective.
