[MOC] Naboo N1 Royal Starfighter - Fully functional!

[Samppu]

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:

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!

Great model with smartly integrated functions. I like it very much.

Now, what's that LEGO store called again?

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:

(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.

Very nice! That droideka looks good and the joystick function is mind-blowing 

Slide out cockpit is nice too

Fantastic job on capturing the ship, love the parts usage as well as the angles. It really helps give it perspective.
