Mr Man Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Hi guys Based on various helpful suggestions from EB's resident X-wing expert fallenangel309 and the guys in the accuracy of MOCS thread, I have come up with, what I hope to be a great new addition to the EB X-wing line up. The Front An over all view The side The back And the underside Thanks for viewing guys. Edited April 1, 2011 by Mr Man Quote
Commander_Rob Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Nice. Quite accurate, but the fuselage needs to be a bit longer, three or four studs maybe. Very recognizable anyway. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 This is brilliant! The coloring is incredible, the shaping is better than any other X-wing MOC I have ever seen, and I love your custom R2! You're sure to make fallenangel proud! Quote
Mr Man Posted April 1, 2011 Author Posted April 1, 2011 Thanks guys. It's great to here some good feedback as I spent several weeks trying to perfect this. Thanks for your suggestion Commander_Rob I will work on it soon. And thanks to to Brickdoctor, the R2 unit took a lot of thought. Bur Dumbfire What makes you say that I spent so long on this. Sigh maybe today was a bad day to release this MOC into the wild of EB. Quote
cavegod Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 it may be a joke but have any of you seen the MOCs on FBTB :laugh: Quote
MetroiD Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I'm not really sure about your weapons. I think they need more ooomph. Have you considered using flick missiles? P.S.: How swooshable is it? Could you upload a video? Quote
Mr Man Posted April 1, 2011 Author Posted April 1, 2011 I'm not really sure about your weapons. I think they need more ooomph. Have you considered using flick missiles? P.S.: How swooshable is it? Could you upload a video? I thought about it but I couldn't find them in the correct colours, and as the title says, it needs to be as accurate as possible. Does anyone know what colour the flick fires on the real Incom T-65 X-wing are? If you can help thanks a lot. Oh it is surprisingly swooshable, for its heavy detail. I tried to upload a video but YouTube is playing up today for some reason . Quote
Praiter Yed Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Very nice Mr Man, some interesting build techniques there - especially with the open wings at the back . I'm not sure about the colour scheme (maybe try pink) but this is a good start. I'd like to see more pics - perhaps some including a pilot. Could you incorporate one of those new Hello Kitty figs that are all the rage today? Once you've perfected this one, I'd like to see a Y-Wing. Edited April 1, 2011 by Praiter Yed Quote
Fallenangel Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 On the one hand, I can look at this and say, “this is a MINI X-wing”. You’ve taken the core components of the X-wing and incorporated them into your MOC, which deserves merit. On the other hand… The ship is almost entirely colored an angry red that you would notice from a mile off, in a way that reminds me of the N-1. X-wings are not meant to be flashy or vibrant; they are beat-up fighters that have become worn with age. I would suggest a base color of gray, with a couple blotches of white and dark gray here and there. The MOC Is far too stumpy. The wedge pieces you’ve used to represent the ship’s nose area is completely inappropriate in representing the sleekness of the ship, especially at this scale. I would suggeset making the rear fuselage a few studs longer and the nose thinner. It’s far too studded. I know from seeing others’ MOCs that it is possible to put in tiles into a build of this size without creating the impression that the model is bulky. If you are asking about the accuracy of this model, I don’t even know where to start. The MINI scale is one that yields either brilliance or garbage and to be completely honest I’ve never really tried to inspect them for shaping or detail. Sorry, but I really can’t help you here.

Solscud007 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I dont see what you did. It looks JUST like an official lego X-wing. Did you just put together a lego kit and called it an MOC? Shame on you. haha enough teasing. I love the "damaged" gray wing. Quote

What are you talking about! This is perfect! Don't pay any attention to that guy, Mr Man.I'm pretty sure the 'real' X-wing used trans-blue 2x2 dish headlight flick-fire missiles. Those would look awesome on this. Quote
Blackknight112 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) *oh2* wow, great MOC. I'm suprised if this will not make it on the frontpage Edited April 1, 2011 by Blackknight112 Quote

Don't worry Brickdoctor I won't (I think he's just jealous that he can't get this any more perfect , and is lost for words). And thanks for the heads up on the X-wings armaments, I will make the changes tonight. And thank you Blackknight112 for those kind words, I hope it does, I put some extra special effort into it.

JimBee Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I'm not usually one to complain about detail but geez, I never thought one could go overboard with it. You definitely need to scale this down a bit, or maybe take about 50 more pictures. The detail is too much for me to see in just a few pics. Quote

Right up sir by tomorrow I will upload 80, that's right 80, shiny new pics to EB's just for you. And thank you KimT For commenting on one of my MOCS. Edit: Whom do I have to thank for my wonderful new title? Thank you who ever it was. Edited April 1, 2011 by Mr Man Quote

simonjedi Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 April fools or not making an entire thread for the sole purpose of bashing me is just bad taste. Err.. no they're not, not personally bashing you anyway. Its more of a 'stop moaning about accuracy in a toy for 9 year olds' statement The thread is very Meta. Quote
MetroiD Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 April fools or not making an entire thread for the sole purpose of bashing me is just bad taste. And here I was, thinking you were actually going along with it. Actually, I admit I still think you played that rather well... Quote

What the hell did I ever do to YOU?! EB's resident X-wing expert fallenangel309 and the guys in the accuracy of MOCS thread (emphasise mine) Like I said before, it's a general statement, to everyone. It's just you're seen as the most anally retentive of the bunch, so statements tend to gravitate towards you. Edited April 1, 2011 by simonjedi Quote
Aeroeza Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 What are you talking about! This is perfect! Don't pay any attention to that guy, Mr Man. I'm pretty sure the 'real' X-wing used trans-blue 2x2 dish headlight flick-fire missiles. Those would look awesome on this. Bollocks to you BrickQuack! Mr. Man's X-Wing is far from perfect. Just for starters the internal structure hasn't even been considered! Also the S-Foil system is wrong, wrong, wrong! Omission of such detail means this MOC is beyond any redemption (according to my stolen ILM plans). I say Mr. Man should go back to his primordial 'brick' soup and start again. Use this reference page Mr. Man. Take special note of the fifth image down. It clearly states it all. All MOCers must use these references in the future or earn the just wrath of my scorn. Quote
