Lego X-Wing MOC (4K Wallpaper)

It is almost a rite of passage for a Star Wars and Lego fan to build an X-Wing. I have been creating versions since 1978, striving to build the ultimate, perfect X-Wing, and have witnessed the constant evolution of Lego X-Wing models.

 

This is my latest creation after a 40 year building journey.

 

I hope you enjoy my contribution, and that it inspires your own creations! Feel free to ask any questions in the comments.
