This is the second
version of my X-Wing Starfighter. I changed this a lot, inside and
out. Included in the improvements are: straighter and beefed-up
lasers, more detailed wings, engines that touch each other when
closed (the bases of the engines are flush with the bases of the
wings), tons more (and more accurate) greeblies in the back, the
correct angle on the sides of the back of the fuselage (made using
2x2x2 slopes), a more accurate cockpit, an open proton torpedo tube,
among other things. It's on the same scale on this as on my A-Wing,
Y-Wing
and Snowspeeder
(1 foot to 1 stud), making it just over 41x37 studs long and wide,
respectively. I measured just about everything that had a length
so it's very proportional to itself (and with all my other customs
in the scale). The lasers are made from the 16.5L straws from the
Gungan Patrol set; I put some steel rods in the straws to keep them
straight. I used the 2x2 radar dishes at the tips because I think
it represents the curvature on that piece better than a 1x2 with
single stud plate would. This
is Wedge
Antilles' ship, having the "Red 2" markings, his red astromech
droid ("Mynock," I believe) in the droid socket, and Wedge himself
piloting it. I'm still contemplating whether to make a grey rendition
of it, though I'm sure I'll give in eventually.
