Fresh off her debut in the video game Star Wars Outlaws, Kay Vess and her commando droid associate ND-5 go LEGO courtesy of fan builder Fabian B. Building small poses big challenges, yet Fabian smuggles in a galaxy of adventure with just a few dozen parts. The “figbash” characters are spot on, but Kay’s speeder bike shines with clever techniques, especially those tiny handlebars made from box wrenches, hammers, and skeleton arms.
From the Star Wars series The Book of Boba Fett, builder Ordo (Fabian B.) brings us a wonderful LEGO depiction of Fett and his Tusken Raider clan taking on the Pykes atop their repulsor train. There’s just some fantastic sculpting at the front of the train, using hinges and bars/clips to create the right domed shape for the nose. I also appreciate the texturing choices along the cylindrical engine, providing variety while at the same time focusing on clean lines. But what really takes the cake for me here is the speeder bike design! They look so lithe and agile, zooming across the Tatooine sands. And the clouds of dust they’re kicking up are ingeniously built!
