[MOC] Jedi Starfighter

Hey, I think I've seen those pieces before... And you're right. This Jedi Starfighter is another aletnate build of Lego's 75003 A-wing. Once again, all the pieces come from that one set. At least, this time the colors match...

I think this alternate building is growing on me. I can only enter one MOC in the Rebrickable contest, but I can still have fun and promote it! So I was thinking about another build.

A republic gunship turned out too complex and ended in one terrrible looking and undoubtely filmsy build. I did, however, took some techniques with me for this starfighter. I own both the Slave I and Obi-Wan's starfighter, and while building my previous entry, I noticed that a lot of pieces where in common with that starfighter. Seeing another Starfighter MOC at Eurobricks inspired me to take the final step. And this is what came out.

The starfighter features an opening cockipt (with place for a minifig like Obi-Wan) and landing gear. It includes motors and realistically angled wings. Making the sharp nose was the greatest challenge, but some SNOT saved me in the end. The color scheme ended up looking a tiny bit like Obi-Wan's starfighter, so that's a good thing.

So what do you have to remember from this adventure? Buy two A-wings, and you get an opportunity to recreate that chase sequence in Episode Two. Just like the old days. A set is never one set!
