I would say the proportions are about right, though I think the ship was
actually held in place at the very front of the ship rather than in the
middle (however that would put it off balance .. so I think it works like it
is..)
I like the ships out of Episode 2 but notice there were like 2 or 3 new
variations of the all silver Naboo ships (the big B-52 flying wing one was
kind of interesting.. hehe).. So more of them to try to figure out how to
model.. And some of the things like the big "airbus" and the "diner" that
Obi Wan goes into might be interesting to see in Lego.. and of course the
new tanks would be neat..
One problem I have with the Slave 1 that Janggo uses is that the model is
not airtight.. while I realize this was to keep the brick count down, it
sucks that this interplanetary vehicle has holes in it.. At first I thought
the Rebel Gunship was treated the same way until I watched the movie and
realized it was a planetary attack vehicle only.. (they probably dropped
them from a larger ship.. )
