Here’s a Naboo Starfighter in technic figure scale.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=116456
I thought after I bought the first minifigure-sized Naboo starfighter kit
that a model of this ship could do with more detail and gentler angles. I
got a book of the cut-away drawings of some star-wars ships, so that helped
in the building process.
Underneath, hatches open at the sides so that landing struts can support the
ship. The tail section is semi-detachable for transport, since not many
boxes are big enough to carry the model flat.

Nice! I really like the curve just behind the cockpit curving back toward the
tail. Good lines there.
Too bad there’s no real way to get better contrast between the yellow and gray,
though - I’m spoiled by the chrome effect of the UCS starfighter.
The front angle of the wings seems a little sharp to me, but I don’t have any
reference material in front of me so that may just be my perception. I also like
the flat-top droid - Artoo got hisself a buzzcut!
