The Mandalorian - Season 3 recap

Image
I loved this 3rd season of the Mandalorian.  Loved the links to Rebels, the Prequels, the Sequels, even to Resistance. Dave Filoni is a bridge builder. Clone wars and Rebels were a bridge between the Prequels and the OT. Mandalorian and Ahsoka are a bridge between the OT and the Sequels. But sadly, no new ship  has really caught my eye in this season. Sure, Bo Katan's Kom'rk-Class Fighter Transport is pretty cool, but I am not planning to do my own version of it. (And my friend Lee already nailed it ) The pirate fighters  from Chapter 21  were OK, but Lego announced and launched their official minifigscale version super fast. And that big Pirate ship, it had interesting angles and patterns, but it is too big for the minifig-scale maniac I am. But there are still some scenes that have ignited my Lego brain during this season! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 21 Zeb : "I like your attitude, Good luck, you're gonna need i...

Official UCS LEGO Razorcrest

Image
At last, here is the Official UCS LEGO Razorcrest set . I was scared this official set would render my version obsolete. But the interior is far from being as accurate and detailed as mine. Yet, I can't wait to receive it and build it. (Oct 7th here in Canada, so 4 days after my Bday.) Also I am glad they are bringing back the Trans-Clear piece from 1992 (6059), the same I used for the cockpit.

The Mandalorian new ship N-1 Naboo Starfighter

Image
 When I saw what ship was going to replace the Razorcrest, I thought: "It is a small one and it is based on an existing set, there are going be millions of MoCs for it, why bother work on one." But some friends, colleagues and followers insisted that I try. And I have to admit it is a good looking and interesting ship. As I was the first to work on a minifigscale Razorcrest, I felt I had to try. So I started working on it Friday ! - Is it based on an existing official sets ? No - Is it minifigscale ? Yes, but in the higher tier. - Is there room for Grogu in it ? Yes - Is it Modular ? Yes, it makes it easier to work on for me and for the builders. - Is it UCS ? I don't think a Moc this size deserves the label. - Will there be instructions ? Most probably - Is it going to require rare/expensive pieces ? I don't know yet, I am building it in Real Life first instead of starting with stud.io, so I go with what I have in stock. Next steps:  - Refine the build  - Design ...
