Hi

so then it is not a "fully chromed" but massively chromed starship ;) I do not brother Anio in any way, i just would like to know if i am right. If you look at the prices for chromed parts AND keep Legos Executor flat bottom in mind, they would release this as Set also without chromed underside.

Anyway - This MOC is superb, with or without chromes underside.

For my MOC, the reason why the bottom is not chromed is not a reason of cost.
I mean I do not do MOCs to save money. I do what I have to do.

For official set, it is a reason of cost. But this is not the only reason. Restricting the chromed areas also help the eye to focus precisely where the chrome is. That way, you appreciate it even more given that it does not become banal. This is not something easy to explain.

This is rather that second reason that lead me to put chrome only on the top. :classic:

No doubt that if this MOC is turned into an official set thanks to the Cuusoo, the underside will not be chromed.

Thanks for putting this on Cuusoo Anio! I really hope this gets the votes it deserves. Now get those votes in people! :thumbup:

Your Cuusoo link on the frst page seems not to be a working link.

Thanks. It is now fixed. :)

Well, the instruction is now available.

Of course, Frousmoul did it. :)
It was not as hard as the instruction of the Executor or the Juggernaut.
Nevertheless, it is still a professionnal building instruction. :p

Again, Blakbird did the renders on the cover and on the first pages. :)

As usual, the price is 5€. And above that price, it is up to you. ;)

edit : if necessary, you can email me at setechnic@gmail.com

Does the chromed surface rub off after assembling and disassembling repeatedly?

I don't do that.

Nice one Anio! You captured the design of both the ship and the fighter very well, and the chrome is just deliciously shiny! :wub:

What a beautiful moc! I would gladly pay 200euros for this set - although the the brick/cost ratio would be crazy :laugh:

Furthermore the mini Naboo fighter is absolutely superb - a have a soft spot for scale models :thumbup:

As cavegod also mentioned, that even though the set could be bigger it really shouldn't. This scale suits the detail of the real thing quite nicely :wink:

CUUSOO here i come! :sweet:

That is a great job. I wish there were some way LEGO would agree to produce the large Naboo ships. This one from TPM is arguably the most notable and recognizable, but I would like to see all of them. I would even take grey metallic parts over chrome, if it meant we would get some of these ships produced.

Thank you.

For fun I did the Naboo Royal Cruiser.

238 parts.

But I wont do it with real bricks. This ship is not iconic enough to be UCS.

Wow... too bad you didn't do this one in the brick as well Anio. You are right about the Naboo Cruiser from Ep.1 being more iconic, but personally i think this design has a bit more character to it.

Compared to reference pics the curved slope on the tail fin seems a bit much to me though. Did you try other options there, like the longer curved piece or no curve at all?

All in all, i think you captured the lines of this craft beautifully! If Lego released this as a set in chrome or even plain grey, i'd pick it up without a doubt!
