Fallenangel Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Does anyone know of any X-wing MOCs - other than those of bwhp (Brucey-wan) or dateman - which retains the hexagonal shape of the rear fuselage and the nose? I wanted to use a different method from Brucey-wan's because the plates between the bricks just don't work in real life, and click hinges are much too flimsy. I'm asking because the overwhelming majority of X-wing MOC's on the Internet leave the fuselage all boxy and the nose similarly boxy and IMHO the X-wing just doesn't look right that way. A related question - does anyone know where I can find the measurements of the ILM studio models of Star Wars ships? (X-wing, Y-wing TIEs, etc.) I'm asking about the ACTUAL models used in the movie, or at least within a specific scene. Not the Wookieepedia or Cross-sections measurements, as those can be off. Quote
awesomebrick Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Well I think rogue bantha on flikr built a pretty realistic X-wing a while back you should check that out! awesomebrick Quote
Fallenangel Posted April 28, 2010 Author Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) roguebantha did give a fresh new look to LEGO X-wings, but I see he has also omitted the hexagonal fuselage... There are many nice improvements over other models (the cockpit looks MUCH better), but still many inaccuracies - for example, the bottom of the X-wing's canopy should cut into the nose downwards, not upwards; and in any case those wings are just too thick. And I can't see the bottom very well, but it looks like he shortened the "midsection" between where the engines stop and the cockpit begins - the section that includes the cargo bay and the droid socket. Funny; the 7191 UCS X-wing has the exact same problem. I'm also tempted to say that the nose is too short - but it may be that I'm used to the nose of the 4502 Dagobah X-wing. In short, it's not exactly what I'm looking for... Edited April 28, 2010 by fallenangel327 Quote

Fallenangel Posted May 21, 2010 Author Posted May 21, 2010 Actually, I'd like to ask BaronSat about his larger X-wing model - I think certain parts of it were very nicely done and I'd like to see how that nose design would work out. BaronSat are you there? Quote
