Hi all,
I need a little break from the Millennium Falcon. I was working on this project about 1 and a half year now and IA’m close to finish the modeling. But sometimes you need a little break of doing something. Like a little vacation
In this weeks I want to do something else so I revisited the X-Wing.
This 3D model is based in the original kit parts used on the real Hero X-Wing model.
Here is what I have so far:
More coming very soon
I hope you like it
Chris

the improvements were to use original "hardware" for messurement like all the kitparts used for the original ANH Hero X-Wing ... this will make it more accurate
I have some of the real parts and some are in Blueprints and other are in Photographs.
The Lasers are done and I have started detailing the Engines:
She looks a little bit more complete now, doesn't she?
More very soon

Great work.
Here is an update: I've made the droidplate. Its made from original parts used for it. There is no fuselage at the moment because it has to completely reworked. The old/new one was completely wrong ... too short and too slim. So there will be a new one
I hope you like it.
More very soon
Chris
But on the other hand i did not expect anything else from you
I've made a new fuselage today (no details yet). Its very close to the Hero but I'm not happy with the nose yet ... it needs some more work.

Hey Wiz I see you live in Manchester not too far from me, I'm from Blackpool. I popped down your end and went on the Manchester Wheel to get some photos. I've posted them here if you are interested: http://kippa2001.deviantart.com/gallery/
here is some progress ... the X-Wing is roughly done. I'm starting with the detais now.
She looks a bit more complete now:

in ANH every HERO X-Wing was different ... the Backplates are form left to right red 1, red 3, red 5
They all have different fuselage too but I have not done them. Its all based on one HERO fuselage.
I hope you like it ... more soon.

Chris

no, I won't build this too ... the 1:1 is completey different to all too so I stay with my ANH 1/24 models

I have finished all details for the fuselage today. I've made a (it was 2) nose for the Red 5 model too (I did one for Red 3 too). It looks more accurate now.
