LEGO SET 912405 - Alternate build | The Mandalorian's N-1 Starfighter

LEGO Set 912405-1 – The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter: Alternate Build Possibilities

When you pick up LEGO Set 912405-1 – The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter, you’re not just getting a sleek starfighter from the world of The Mandalorian—you’re unlocking a compact parts palette that’s secretly perfect for creative Star Wars micro-building. With its mixture of light bluish gray wedges, curved slopes, and a handful of dark accents, this polybag-scale set punches above its weight. The N-1’s signature shaping—tapered nose, smooth engine pods, and bright highlights—translates into streamlined micro-ships, speeders, and starfighters with crisp silhouettes. The result? You can quickly iterate on fan-favorite vehicles or invent your own spacecraft that still feel right at home in the galaxy far, far away.

What makes this set especially fun for alternate builds is the ratio of “shaping” pieces to decorative elements. You have enough curved slopes and wedges to define the bones of a model without getting bogged down in micro-greebling. That means beginners can achieve clean results fast, while experienced builders can push for clever SNOT tricks, wing profiles, and nose cones that read beautifully at small scale. Because 912405-1 is small and affordable, it’s also perfect for experimentation: build, photograph, dismantle, repeat. Whether you’re aiming for a compact starfighter squadron, a tiny diorama on a desk shelf, or an imaginative mash-up ship, this set’s parts selection lends itself to sleek geometry and satisfying color blocking. Below you’ll find hand-picked alternate builds created by talented designers—each one a bite-size lesson in micro-scale starship design and a great springboard for your own ideas.
