Very "Shape of Things to Come"........

That's great retro stuff, Queen Amidala would be proud... What better way to cement a new bond between the Naboo and the Gungan....

A great design, dont lose interest.....

Really though, that does have a very old look to it- really nice! Do you suppose you'll continue in the future with more pre-TOS designs? This one is going to be great!

I hate to say it but the 2 influences for this model are the new vulcan ships (hence the toroid warp drive) and the designs of Heinkel. She was very heavily influenced by the HE111 and later Arado jet designs. The main question is what colour scheme I should go with. Any suggestions?

Very interesting design. I like where you got your influences and I look forward to seeing more

Verry nice

I see a SW AotC Naboo ship also in there if the ring was removed.

But then it couldn't warp! I like the naboo design because it was quite retro, but that would require more fluting toward the read of the hull. Besides I like the idea of a toroid warp engine. I'm tracing the design back to the original Vulcan designs, converted to war! Pre-WW2 design philosophy is quite interesting and very cool to convert to space!
