(More customer reviews)The Nebulon B is one of those great background elements from Star Wars that you barely notice but which had as much care and attention lavished on it as any of the iconic designs that took center stage.
Star Wars was one of the first science fiction series that really took note that in space there's no need for aerodynamics, so the Nebulon B breaks all the rules for a 'cool' space ship. It's not sleek, it's not streamlines, it has no wings or fins, it has exposed cables and superstructure and random compartments sticking up. And it's great.
The designers wrote they were inspired by the shape of an outboard motor of all things, and then tried to give it a more curved and organic shape to contrast with the Imperial ships which with their sharp edges.
This toy captures the Nebulon B well, it's tough metal and plastic and well painted. It's about 3" long and, though not in scale, looks great on the shelf next to my other Star Wars and Star Trek ships.
My only complaint is the price, I never found one in the stores so I had to pay a premium. Before throwing down $20+ be sure to ask yourself if you can afford it and if you really want one.
