Slave I

Description

An unmistakable outline

Few ships in Star Wars are as easy to identify as Slave I. It flies upright, cockpit at the top and a broad, rounded hull below, which gives it a shape unlike anything else in the saga. That makes it a rewarding subject for a miniature: even with only 31 pieces, the proportions are enough to tell you what you are looking at. On a shelf of tiny fighters and shuttles, it stands out immediately because its profile breaks the usual horizontal line of most starships.

Two Fetts, one ship

Jango Fett flies Slave I in Attack of the Clones, chasing Obi-Wan Kenobi through the asteroid field around Geonosis. Later the ship belongs to his son Boba, who in The Empire Strikes Back carries the carbonite-frozen Han Solo away from Cloud City. Because the vessel spans both trilogies, it appeals to fans of the prequels and the original films alike. A small model like this lets you add it to a collection without committing the shelf space a larger version would require.

Grey, dark red and sand green

The main colours are light bluish grey, dark red, sand green and tan. Together they echo the worn, practical paint scheme that fans associate with the bounty hunter's ship. Sand green and dark red in particular are less common than the standard greys, so builders who collect unusual colours may find the parts useful. With 21 unique elements among 31 pieces, most parts appear only once or twice, which keeps the build varied and leaves you with a diverse selection of shapes.

Parts list and next steps

If you picked up a loose copy, the parts list on this page lets you check every element and colour before building. Missing a single small part in sand green or dark red can change the look of such a compact model, so it is worth a quick count. What can I build? then compares your own pieces with other sets and highlights those you could complete right away, which is useful if you already own several small ships and want to see what else your collection can produce.
