Imperial Shooter

Description

What the name tells you

The name makes clear which side this model is on: the Galactic Empire, the villains of the original trilogy. Beyond that, it does not say exactly what is being depicted, so the images and parts list on this page are your best guide before picking up a copy. For anyone building an Imperial collection, a small model like this is a light addition next to bigger ships such as Star Destroyers or TIE fighters, and it takes up hardly any room.

Repeats make it easy

The 20 pieces come from just nine distinct elements, so many of them are repeated. That is a noticeably lower variety than most sets of this size, and it is likely to show in the build, where some steps will feel familiar the second time round. Younger builders find that reassuring, as the instructions quickly become predictable. For your spare parts it means several copies of the same element rather than a scattering of one-offs, which is often more practical for building something of your own.

Grey with two bright accents

The main colours are light bluish grey, dark bluish grey, trans-red and trans-light blue. The two greys match the functional look of the Imperial military in the films, while the two transparent colours add strong contrast. Trans-red and trans-light blue are two of the most useful transparent shades you can have, turning up in lights, displays, control panels and blaster effects. If your collection is short of clear parts, this set adds a small supply.

A quick list to check

With only nine elements, the parts list on this page is short and easy to work through. You can see the colour and quantity of each piece at a glance, whether you are completing a second-hand copy or rebuilding it from loose bricks. In Bricoria, What can I build? compares your collection with the catalogue and shows which sets are already within reach. Small sets with many repeated parts are often easier to complete than you might expect.
