It took much effort, but I'm super happy that was able to build, photograph, and upload this before The Force Awakens movie premiers. Yay.
Gosh, I love the profile of this thing - that cockpit curvature is sexy. =P I should post a work-in-progress picture just to show how far this thing has come. Difficulties included troubleshooting the engine split, creating working S-foil wings, to discovering that a rubber band could be used for the blue streak, all while keeping this darn small at 1x stud wide for the nose. It was hard, but I'm proud of the finished product, and it's super swooshable, as you can see in the beginning of the video linked below. Enjoy!
Link me if you build one! Would love to see how others improve on the fragile connections.
