Posted July 27, 201410 yr Well, I really, really wanted a B-Wing, but I didn't want to spend any money. So for the first time I had a look at what spare bricks I had in the pot, and had a go at making my own 75050 with a 6208 stand. And it turned out mostly white it seems! It was a lot of fun, anyway.
July 28, 201410 yr Hey, that's pretty good. I like how you've managed to maintain a consistent color palette with limited pieces, very impressive!
July 29, 201410 yr Author Thanks guys. Despite the bright colours, I really like the industrial feel of this piece. Building the ship reminded me of other , classic 'hard sci-fi' ships like the Liberator from Blake's 7, or the Bird of Prey. And I also like being able to display the B-Wing vertically. Many of the Star Wars sets are effectively flat, so you don't get so much of a wow factor unless you climb up on a step ladder and look down on them from above...
July 29, 201410 yr Awesome build! The color scheme does fit somehow. I guess this means that 75050 will fit in the old ones stand quite. Good to know...
July 29, 201410 yr Author Well, I needed to modify the stand a little, make a bit more room inside. The main thing is that it is stable!
July 29, 201410 yr Well, I needed to modify the stand a little, make a bit more room inside. The main thing is that it is stable! Thats good. TLG really made a mistake not having a stand. The B-Wing is a little pricey already and a stand might've made 5 extra bucks worth it. I have always liked the look of that stand, especially the black and yellow color scheme. I think I will pass on 75050 in favor of ScotishDave's B-Wing v1.3. That is a truly amazing MOC.
July 30, 201410 yr Loving your B-Wing :) It's great seeing all these various builds of my favourite rebel fighter! And the most important thing is you had fun building it! Thats good.

I've updated my design recently so check out my flickr account :)
July 30, 201410 yr Yeah, i must also say that you have done good work at the B-Wing! And i love this "Ice Planet" color scheme . markus
July 31, 201410 yr Author Thank you one and all. Very nice to have world experts like Renegade Clone and markus1984 popping in here! I definitely feel like colour is the way forward. I may be turning into Unikitty. My kids are amassing a stash of lovely purple and turquoise bricks that I might have to snaffle soon...
