Day 137, Quasi-Quarantine: Cobbling Together A Mini-"Ghost"


As noted previously, we've rediscovered "Star Wars Rebels," an animated series from Disney XD. Bridging the gap between "Revenge of the Sith" (Episode III) and "A New Hope" (Episode IV), the show juggles levity and serious, canon-level scenarios with a deft balance, adding an element of fun to the proceedings.

With few sets available to represent this series, we decided to reconstruct the iconic "Ghost" as a manageable microfighter build. The best ability here was availability, and the required pieces were relatively easy to find.

We were able to look up the instructions online, scrounge up the pieces, and construct it (with a few minor color modifications).

For display purposes, OG pilot Hera Syndulla was on another mission, so Lieutenant Connix (played by Carrie Fisher's real-life daughter, Billy Lourd) had to step into the pilot's chair.

Small build, small set, few pieces ... but any filled minutes these days are priceless.
