T-70 X-wing
After dabbling into whatifs designs (here and there) I decided to go back to a more canon version of the iconic snubfighter. Also I needed the challenge.
Seeing how many great T-65 there has been in the past months I do not see how I could add anything to a Lego 'classic' X-wing as of today. And the split wing idea proved too enticing anyway :)
Interestingly enough, the starting point of those three models is exactly the same combination of 5 parts : two curved slopes and wedge bricks to make up the rear section of the fuselage.
I still consider it a WIP of kinds or at least an early prototype. There still room for a lot of tweaking and tinkering. And at the same time this is showable enough. Plus I just reckon this is the right time of the year ;)
I don't think the spliting wings have ever been done this exact way : it has pros and cons obviously but I'm really curious about how you guys feel about it.
Some credits are due to atlas_er for I originally replicated his solution for engine cowlings before eventually going on a slightly different path. But more importantly for making me want to build my own T-70 :]
