Description

A generous cast

Five minifigures is a lot for a set of 259 pieces, and it shapes how the model is best used. Rather than being a lone ship for the shelf, the shuttle works as the centre of a small scene, carrying characters from one place to another or joining a larger battle alongside other sets. If you collect figures from the Clone Wars era, the ratio of figures to bricks makes this one worth a look, and it gives children plenty of characters to play with.

The Separatist side of the war

The Clone Wars follows the conflict between the Galactic Republic, with its clone troopers and Jedi generals, and the Confederacy of Independent Systems with its droid armies. Transports like this shuttle move people and cargo between the series' many locations. Their role is less about frontline combat than the droid fighters of the same period, which makes the shuttle a useful supporting vehicle when you want to build out the Separatist side of your collection.

Parts and palette

The model uses 86 different part designs, a healthy variety that keeps the build interesting. Light and dark bluish grey form most of the hull, while dark blue and black complete the main colours. Dark blue is common across Separatist vehicles of the time, so the shuttle fits visually with related sets. For your own builds, the combination of greys and dark blue is a flexible base, particularly for spacecraft and industrial designs.

Checking and reusing

Further down you will find the complete inventory for set 8036, listed by colour and quantity. It is the easiest way to confirm a second-hand copy is complete. Owners can also try What can I build?, which checks their collection against other sets and shows which could be finished and what is still missing, giving the shuttle's parts a second life once the model has been on display for a while.
