[MOC] Mando's N-1 (Inthert/BrickVault Mod)

[FTG Prime]

Hey everyone!

Ever since "The Book of Boba Fett" Episode 5 was released I've been wanting to tackle this ship but I just had the time and motivation to do it now. The sequence where Mando started building the ship back up was incredibly special to me so I wanted to make the ship justice. I knew from the start that I wanted to use Inthert's model as a base since that's my favorite MOC of the ship. I've been working on this for quite a while so while it isn't a perfect 1:1 translation of every single detail I'm pretty happy with it! Didn't bother making Grogu fit on the Astromech port as that was barely a thing in S3... And yes you can fit R5 in there.

Some things aren't attached properly in Stud.io but they've been tested and work IRL.

The idea is to get this ship built and painted in silver (which is reflected in the renders). I'll be updating the thread with my progress. P.D: The yellow marks are missing on the front wings as those I'm planning to be painted as well due to their particular shape/faded pattern.

For any of you who are curious this is what a Purist/no-paint version would look like:

Very nice variant 👍 I wish all the parts were available in silver 😉👌

Wow, this might be the best looking  N-1 yet, spectacular mods. My only gripe with the bickvault version is if your going for minifig scale, its scaled too small. I never realized how much bigger the Mandos N-1 is compared to an Naboo N-1 in length. But your detailing is incredible, can't stop looking at it lol.

Thank you! Same here, but it's nothing some nice silver paint can fix if you're feeling adventurous 🤭

That's such a high compliment, appreciate it man!

I actually didn't notice Mando's N-1  was bigger than a stock N-1, "the more you know" lol

I'll leave proper minifig scaling to smarter people than me, but I'm happy you liked the mods!
