I picked up a Mandalorian Premium last year, fun fast game, love it and all things Mando.
So, Since Moff Guidon went ahead and destroyed the Razor Crest, the Mandalorian had to commission another ship, turns out it’s a Naboo Starfighter in the hangar waiting to be assembled.
Challenge accepted! Since he did it so could I, as long as I had the time to revise/redesign the 3D model to include lights for the Nubian drives through the wings and support pins for the wing assembly, then it was game on!

Well, After 100 or so modifications and a few test prototypes (see photos), the current prototype came out fairly well other than the drives being on the wrong side. (Fun story, had forgotten that “mirror” in CAD programs is opposite and everything was printing in reverse, ugh.)
so, with a decent prototype ready I went ahead and did a quick paint job and tested fitment for installation to play a few games.

Personally, I Love this much more than the Razor Crest and I think you will too!!!

Yea, I only showed you photos up through the prototype installed and a few design and print photos to wet your whistle.

… to be continued.

Awesome!

Your mod looks awesome and is finely detailed, especially Grogu and Mando in the driver seat. WOW! I like the way you made the ship look bigger than the razorcrest as well. Nice work sir!

Really nice model! Did you start from existing STLs or is this all designed from scratch? Resin prints look amazing

Thanks! appreciate the support, and that's just the final prototype that I threw together and did a quick paint job on to put it in my pin to play! I spent several hours on the base plate that connect to the Stern mount so that I could give it more of an attack run posture at -10° pitch, +5° yaw and a +15° roll.

just wait until you see the final photos....COMING SOON!

A combination of 3D Scans, STLs and lots of CAD work to merge, revise create and correct.

Adding in support tubes for pins and wire chases through the wings was probably the toughest hurdle. The thinnest part of the wings is a mere 1.75mm and the pin tubes and wire chases needed to be 1.5mm which left only .12mm on each side, top and bottom. Earlier wing prototypes without the supports folded under the weight of the engines, I either needed a bigger ship or spend the design time to include them. Bigger isn't always better.. in this case the ship size was already at its max.

Wow, it hadn’t occurred to me you have lights in there (the photos show the engines lit up but I thought it might be paint). How did you approach the weathering? I have an IG-88 head I want to finish and that patina’d steel look is exactly what I want to end up with. Great design work

Reduced paint, used a fine #0 detail brush, let it stand for a few seconds and go back over with a dry brush to blend.
