X-wing - that's how it turned out
That's it. My X-wing is finally done. The photo session, however, is not. X-wings are supposed to fly, right? Tomorrow I'll upload the second batch of photos.
About the model: I call it minifig scale, although if you compare ship's length to minifig's height it turns out the pilot is 5 feet tall. Not much but acceptable, he doesn't have to be a stormtrooper ;).
The model features 12 LED lights which of course are not original LEGO product but aside from electric installation - there are no modified parts, just pure LEGO. There are 4 red LEDS in the engines, 4 white in frontal part of wings (as seen on Dagobah), 3 yellow in landing gear bays (Dagobah) and 1 white inside the cockpit.. Another 10 lights (this time original LEGO 9V light bricks) are located around the model, Yavin-style ;).
Inside the rear part of the model there is a simple, crank-operated mechanism for opening the wings. It works with the display stand, to be featured tomorrow, when I reconfigure the model to flight position ;) .
And that's pretty much it - if you have any questions, just shoot.
Oh, I forgot: there are 4 small decals borrowed from old MPC/Ertl models. Stickers are LEGO.
