Here's my Naboo Starfighter.
It uses a 1 foot to 1 stud ratio making it about 37x21 studs long
and wide, respectively. It doesn't fit a Naboo
Pilot/Ric
Olié/Anakin
Skywalker; they're too wide and the ship is too small at this
scale. I'm really glad LEGO made that 2x4 wedge/slope transition
piece; I imagined that piece exactly when I initially came up with
this design (which was before LEGO announced the UCS SE Naboo Starfighter).
I tried to do away with some common mistakes on LEGO Naboo Starfighters;
namely the wings and the engines. I used 1x6x5 slopes for the wings
to get the exact angle on them; most use 4x8, 6x12, or 7x12. The
main parts of the engines (excluding the cones) should have twice
as much grey as there is yellow, lengthwise; mine uses six studs
of grey to three studs of yellow. For the taper in the back I decided
to use tiles. It required a lot of SNOT (studs not on top), which
can be difficult considering the size, plus each tile had to independently
connect to a studded piece, since they don't have studs to connect
to eachother. But enough of my complaining.
