jameseilers Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 OK! Parts finally here and I stared the build this weekend. One issue I dealt with this afternoon was the back edge of the wing is only hinged at the top and is free swinging. I tried every brick combination I could think of to try and secure the hinged section some other way but finally caved and used a rubber band (it is a Lego rubber band though!) The rubber band does not affect the function of the technic pieces allowing the cockpits to spin together. IMG_1722 by James Eilers, on Flickr IMG_1723 by James Eilers, on Flickr Quote
o0ger Posted October 24, 2017 Author Posted October 24, 2017 That's a neat trick! It didn't swing out that much when I built it. Maybe the friction will be different depending on how used the hinges are?

I found your feed and this thread and am loving this Blade Wing. I have the official B-Wing set that I got after that episode of Rebels and bought a Hera mining to go with it. I downloaded your LXF file and imported it into Studio. I've made some of the changes jameseilers and have added my own too before I order some bricks. The tanks are a bit big but 1x1 was too small. I added the black section for the lights to add symmetry but I'm not 100% happy with it. What do you think? Quote
o0ger Posted June 3, 2020 Author Posted June 3, 2020 I think it looks great! I ignored the tanks in my design because there was a limit in the number of parts allowed in the contest. I just had to scrap something. Quote
Enfurnoh Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) So after thinking and posting pics in a Facebook MOC group I decided to try it in orange. As you said, not all are available in that colour so I substituted as necessary. Gives it a backyard shed look, just what a prototype would have. Also changed the centre to dark bluish grey and the white to light bluish grey. That was prompted by the difficulty of getting those curved bricks in white in the UK. I'm really happy with this now and will be ordering parts after I go through and see what I have first. I put the Stud.io files on Google Drive in both orange and Red/Grey if anyone is interested. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bKQXMS4qtDQZMuPz4RzaOMwdRB_NKH6N?usp=sharing Edited July 6, 2020 by Enfurnoh added pictures Quote

dvogon Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 Great model! The overall shape is excellent. like both color schemes: red/white and orange/gray. Is it sturdy enough for children to play with? Quote
Enfurnoh Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 Just loaded them to my Drive, same link as above @o0ger. 13 hours ago, dvogon said: Great model!

That's why I made a stand too. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wtxv66TkTLyeQWFmSca599r3zG9C_DBn/view?usp=sharing 14 hours ago, o0ger said: The link only works for members of that group :( Posted the pics in my Drive, same link as above.
