Hi. I'm a long time admirer first time poster here. I own a yellow 2003 Dodge Neon and I've thought for a long time it needs a few details to make it look more Naboo-like. I found the font for the writing and was thinking of having it possible put on magnets or something like that so it is reversible. I'm also looking for better visual references of some of the symbols on the ship like the bug symbol. I haven't had a ton of luck with that yet. I've been watching the site and it doesn't sound like anyone has attempted this vehicle but I thought I'd see if anyone had any suggestions for a first timer. I wanted to get a good amount of it done before heading to C4. Any help would be great!

wow that sounds like a great ship idea and a great car to do it with , my first suggestion would be to post pics so that we can visualize ways to help you along.

I briefly owned a yellow VW Bug that I wanted to paint silver in the front like an N-1, but it never happened.
If you haven't already, see if you can find copies of the Episode I Visual Dictionary and Incredible Cross-Sections (2 different books). They're likely sources of the graphics you're looking for.

I'll try to get a picture up today. I'm curious what you guys think. I tried the visual dictionary and the cross sections guide. I even tried the Chronicles book but not a lot of closs ups of the weird bug symbol. I was able to find the font on a website and I have the Hasbro toy for reference as well. For right now I don't want to do anything too permanent or expensive but I'm thinking because the N1 is so simple it wouldn't take a ton to make the car recognizable.

I pulled my Intex inflatable Naboo Fighter pool toy out of mothballs the other day, and it has a nice big (maybe two inches) weird bug symbol! It actually looks a little like a blue Opee. I'll take a few pictures and post them when I can.
