Episode 7 x-wing build (finished)
« on: February 22, 2015, 07:01:46 PM »
Using a snaptite revel kit I grabbed from a local thrift store for 5 bucks I'm attempting to convert it into something that resembles what we see in the episode 7 trailer.















I'm going to start painting this week.

finished.
Not perfect, but I'm happy with it.













compared to my action fleet x-wing






I know I took some design liberties with the back end and the wings to some extent to accomodate the transformation of this model.  However, I look at this as maybe a transitional model between what we see in the OT and the new movies. 

I also never understood why the astromechs were left exposed like they were in the OT models, so I think the little sheild/canopy over it makes sense.
