[MOC] Naboo Royal Cruiser

[hachiroku]

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:

(in this photo, I added digitally the noise and the film lens flare like in the movie. I'm glad with the result).

It looks small, but, actually, is a little longer and wider than the Millennium Falcon 17105.

Fantastic ship!

[bountybossk]

Absolutely fantastic! I dislike the prequels but this thing is stunning. How many pieces did you use? And does it have an interior?

[hachiroku]

Fantastic ship!

Thanks!

I can build something in the interior, but right now it's empty.

I guess it's around 400-500 bricks.

This is nice, I like it and how you have captured the overall shape of the ship

[polarstein]

Nicely done, refreshingly different from the other SW ships. Is it done all grey or did you convert the photo to B&W?

[brickmasterben11]

I like how the roof opens up so you can play in the inside!

There are some yellow bricks in the "turbines".

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

[kingodacheez]

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!

[jdm44]

Wow you did a phenomenal job on this ship. I also like ep. 1. It's my favorite of the prequels.

[bootz]

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.)

[Forresto]

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!

[YellowCorvette]

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.

[Ed9217]

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.

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.

[Volt_Bricks]

Amazing, now we need all that pieces to be chrome and it would be even more stunning to see!

[Azrielsc]

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. :)

[Joemmo]

Really nice build of a design that is not Lego friendly :) great stuff

[Xrunner drifter]

This is a really nice build.

Do you have a parts list or instructions on a build.

I would really like to build this!

[hachiroku]

No, I won't do instructions.

I think it's a very simple building. You can do reverse engineering on it

[Schneeds]

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.

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!!!!
