Hello dear fellows!
Today, as I have a little spare time left, I’d like to present the two latest
additions to my Mini model building project to you. The two new Star Wars models
come from the Clone Wars (Naboo Scout Carrier) and the Dark Empire comic series
(Galaxy Gun).
The Naboo Scout Carrier is another but less known model of the Nubian family
of starships. It has a quite unusual shape for the otherwise very streamlined
and sleek looking Nubian starships. It appears in the episode “Blue Shadow
Virus” of the new animated Clone Wars TV series. It is mainly a dish with a tall
cockpit tower. The only thing that reminds to other Nubian starships is the
yellow hull colour.
The model turned out quite tiny, as the newly released 4x4 round plate seemed a
good solution for the main hull of the ship. The only problem was that it had to
be attached turned by 45 degress to fit into the normal studs grid. Fortunately
the 1x1 clip plates and the binoculars connect almost without any gap on the
dish to form the backbone.

Nubian Starship Familiy
If you are interested in more Nubian Starships, here is a little gallery of all
those yet in the collection (Choose and image to view the galleries).
   
   
From top left to bottom right: Naboo NB-1S Bomber from the game Galactic
Battlegrounds, Naboo J-type Diplomatic Barge (Ep. 2), Naboo N-X Police Cruiser
from the game Battle for Naboo, Naboo J-type 327 Royal Starship (Ep. 1), Naboo
Scout Carrier (CW), Naboo J-type Star Skiff (Ep. 3), Naboo N-1 Starfighter (Ep.
1+2), Naboo H-type Yacht (Ep. 2).
On a side note, all ships come with new and better photos. The J-type 327 Royal
Starship has been completely redesigned as my older version was a bit too big in
my eyes now.
The second ship for today is the Galaxy Gun from Dark Empire, one of the most
popular comic series of the Expanded Universe from Star Wars. It is a long tube
with engines, also equipped with sublight engines and hyperdrive, which was
designed to fire large particle disintegrator warheads able to destroy entire
planets.
The obvious way to build this superweapon is to use inverted slopes with normal
slopes attached on top of them. Several people already did that. To respect
their works and avoid overlaps, this version was built using wedge plates
standing orthogonal to the horizon. It also works well, and you have an easier
way to connect the rest of the tubing to it.
