[MOC] E-Wing Escort Starfighter

[Sleeper]

Hey there,

i'm relative new in this forums, but not to LEGO Star Wars.. ^^ Until now, i've spent my time on Imperium der Steine, a german Lego Star wars forum.

But now, i want to introduce myself here, with my first MOC.

It's my version of the E-Wing Escort Starfighter, well known from the Expanded Universe.

Introduced at the time of the New Republic, it was later one of the major starfighters in the New Republic's Navy.

It's a single-pilot Starfighter, with support from an Astromech-droid, which is placed in a slot behind the cockpit.

The Starfighter is equipped with a Shield-generator and armed with three laser-cannons and one proton-torpedo launcher.

This shown model is created out of 343 bricks, including the Pilot and the Astromech-Droid.

It's build in minifigure-scale and fits in it's size to the second generation (2006) x-wing.

Created as a concept model in LDD.

I have uploaded it on Cuusoo too, so maybe, you would support me. It would be great.. ;)

Thanks, and best regards

The E-wing is one of my favorite EU ships, sweet! It looks very accurate and could easily be an official LEGO model because it fits in so well with the pre-existing X-wing. 10/10.

I'm a complete sucker for the starfighters. Is the site you speak of like a kickstarter for Legos?

Yes it is a Lego kickstarter. The Back to the Future set on the homepage of Eurobricks started there.

I just registered. You have my support.

Nice, I saw that you used many bricks from the X-Wing.

Overall well done.

Supported and I would love you see you take on the V-Wing airspeeder. Would you mind sharing the LDD file?, I completely understand if you don't. PM me.

Amazing design I like the way you have created a place also for the droid!

Great model, really appreciating how closely it follows the official X-wing in terms of look and feel, yet giving it the E-wing twist. Any chance of releasing the LXF so I can make one?

Really nice work, very well detailed :thumbup:

Hi there and welcome to EB. A mighty nice E-Wing MOC I'll check it out on CUUSOO.

It's been a long time since I've even glimpsed an E-Wing, I don't read EU or anything. I have never seen one in LEGO though, or, at least not one this good.

You have my support on CUUSOO, I hope this gets more recognition.

excellent MOC, with realistic proportions and piece count for an actual producible Lego set.

[Sirtank]

Looks good. Got my support as well. I've always loved the E-wing. Back in the day, I made a MOC of one that I thought turned out pretty well, but I like yours more.

I really love this thing! I've been trying to recreate one in LDD. The wing tips, guns, and engines are quite difficult to recreate. I totally understand if you don't want to give out the LDD file. I would like to see how you created that section. I have fabricated a way of doing it, but I haven't completed it yet. Any pointers?

Jek-14's Stealth Starfighter is very similar. I suppose because it's based on the same starfighter. :) http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/75018_Jek-14's_Stealth_Starfighter
