You Can Build it: Mini Droid Starfighter

MINI Droid Starfighter Model and Instructions by Christopher Deck

Hello again, I’m certainly glad I could join again for this issue. For those being looking into BrickJournal for the first time now, my name is Christopher Deck from Germany, and I am a passionate science fiction mini model builder. The model was already designed last year, but when I realized the special use of parts, I decided to save it up for this great issue. We talk about the Trade Federation’s Droid Starfighter as seen in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. It features rounded side-wings, and for a long time I did not see an appropriate way to build this in bricked form. Until I stumbled over those tooth pieces which also come in some Bionicle® sets. These represent the main part of the model. Their colour is dark orange, the best possible match, as these pieces don’t come in brown yet.

Although it’s a quite tiny and not so tricky model, I hope you enjoy building this one if you like. My motivation for this model was to show that TECHNIC® pieces have a great potential for all building styles. I wish you happy building, and see you next time.

Yours,

Christopher Deck
