J-Type Star Skiff [prototype]

[commander1]

Hey guys I just finished my prototype for the J-Type Star Skiff. It is a Nubian ship used by Padme Amidala in the Clone Wars. One of these ships were destroyed by Zam Wessel, an assassin. Luckily, at the time she was still the Queen of Naboo, and she did not die because she used decoys. She was secretly a Naboo fighter escort. The real ship can fit 4 people, my ship fits 3. There is supposed to have a top and a bottom decks. I have a top flight deck and then a cargo hold at the bottom, because I messed up and used the wrong bricks making it twice the size it should be.

There is still a boarding ramp to the cargo hold. The ship is supposed to have no weaponry, being a Nubian ship, they want to be a peaceful planet, but in the Clone Wars its impossible so "they" added 2 small laser cannons. The ship is also supposed to be chromed, I think its fine to be gray and some black. It would be awesome in chrome. The ship has landing gear that folds up into the ship. Now I know that the pic is not the best, but no one has made a decent ship like this so......

Please tell me what you think. I should put more pics on mocpages soon.

I think it's a good idea, I expect to see some photos. :thumbup:

Technically the ship destroyed in SW Episode III was anarmed, bat in Wookiepedia it is say that Amidala use a new J-tyoe for mission to Mandalore and Alderaan, therefore I think the two laser canno is a nice addon, for more plaibility; these laser are retractable??

What minifigure you would add??

Haha I actually forgot to put the pic in here I used a city minifig, she is a surfer but surprisingly she looks like someone in the SWU!

Interesting prototype! I'll be looking forward to seeing the finished product. Maybe tile over some of the studs?
