I didn't originally have the Naboo fighter in mind... but it just sort of
turned out like it. I had those two Alpha Team cowlings laying around with
one of those big 6 by 6 inverted slopes and a weird Jack Stone piece and I
just tried to put them together...

Thanks... I was looking for that look. It was my first try for a racer, and
I wanted something simple. I think it turned out well.

Hey, thanks! I was on a streak with my utility MOCs, and I thought hey,
nobody else has done one and they will be necessary in the future, so I made it.
Gotta love the minifig.

Good idea, Gil. I'd really love to add an interior, all I have right now is
just a cockpit and a ladder in the center. To make an interior, I'd need to
make the roof detachable, along with making the sides easier to take off.
When I was almost done with it, I put it on my counter, and then I picked up
the violin to start practicing. Then I heard a squeak, and one of the side
panels began snapping off. I tried putting it back on, but then a support
of the upper deck broke, and then... it just collapsed, into a hundred
fragments. I put it back together in a few hours using some high-res teaser
pictures I had, and somehow made it stronger using less pieces...
Thanks for all the feedback, people. I appreciate it!
