NARN Frazi Class Heavy Fighter (Babylon 5) LEGO Model
This is an approximately 1/44 scale LEGO model of a Frazi class heavy fighter deployed by the Narn regime in the Babylon 5 universe.
Babylon 5 was a good science fiction series from the 1990s which featured a detailed story arc and great characters. There were many interesting ship designs (CGI no models) provided for the Humans and the many aliens species.
This is my second LEGO realization of a ship from Babylon 5 (the first being a Earth Alliance Hyperion class Heavy Cruiser).
The Narns were one of the younger star-faring races who had recently emerged from under the domination by another race, the Centauri. The Narn weapon systems were relatively unsophisticated; nevertheless, they were made quite powerful by the brute force approach as can be seen by the two massive particle beams emitters on either side of the one-Narn cockpit.
The model is 15.5 inches (39.3 cm) long and weighs about 2 pounds (0.9 Kg). The cockpit canopy hinges open; the cockpit provides enough room for a minifig and control panel. I used a dark green color accent for the model; if the LEGO parts had been available in olive green, that would have worked well in replicating the source material. The "C"-like symbols on the side of the hull are made using excess material from a LEGO sticker sheet from an Egyptian themed set.
This was a fun model to build; it gave me a break from all the Detroit architecture models that I have built.
