GazB Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) Hullo all. Thought I'd finally post up some pics of my X-Wing build. I received this Christmas before last, but only in the past few months did I really crack it open with intent to complete it So here she be in progress Still need to finalise a surround for the base, probably out of balsa wood. Pilot is painted up (in blue), just needs a wash and a bit of highlighting Gaz Edited May 27, 2018 by GazB 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

langy Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Wow, now that is a brilliant build and dio, it's so good to see folks putting x-wings in various 'locations'.. would love to know how you did the various extras for the Dio, some stunning scratch building i'm guessing.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, langy ^-^ And yup, a combo of styrene sheet and rod (1mm and 1.6mm if I recall correctly :)). Decided to take a stab at making them when I discovered PE ladders for an X-Wing were pretty pricey. Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Great work, great idea for the Maintenance theme. I suspect the Rebels needed to do a lot of maintenance as they were in constant use. The empire could relieve front line units as needed for R&R/maintenance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Corsair ^-^/ I originally wanted to open up panels, but didn't have enough confidence in my ability to do it well, so I settled on building up a surrounding to tell the story of it instead Gaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
