MaximillianRebo Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) The appearance of the Pirate Snub Fighter in the Mandalorian and it's accompanying Lego set didn't turn out to be based on the R-41 Starchaser as some had hoped. This gave me enough motivation to finish off my own version of the ship, based here on its appearance in the video game Mysteries of the Sith (276 pieces in total). All I'm missing is a Mara Jade figure to pilot the ship ...

Tambor Posted May 20, 2023 That's very nice, well done! Is the R-41 canon now? I don't remember seeing it for ages. The Pirate Snub Fighter also reminded me of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Pirate Snub Fighter also reminded me of it. It appears not (not that I've ever let that hold me back. IMO, old canon was a heck of a lot better than Disney canon). And a lot of the shaping from the Starchaser was lifted for this bulkier craft, which is apparently called 'Blue Ace:' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Veynom Posted May 24, 2023 You do justice to that small fighter from the Legends. Your model has the right proportions and scale. Some details could be improved but as you offer the instructions for free, I believe your model ticks all the right boxes. Kudos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaximillianRebo Posted May 25, 2023 Thank you everyone for your comments! @Professor Thaum As someone who grew up with Classic Space it seemed the natural choice in this situation @Veynom Thank you for your comment about the scale. Part of me thinks I've made the ship a bit too small - like a lot of Legends craft there is varying information on the overall size depending on where you look. In the end I tried to create something that scaled well with a four-wide cockpit and getting the right angles in the nose section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big_Daddy Posted May 26, 2023 I keep going back to this topic somehow. This ship is giving me an amount of Star Wars vibes that I haven't felt since... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
