Despite Poe Dameron's piloting skills, he and FN-2187 (who Poe renames Finn), are shot-down and crash-land in the Goazon Badlands on Jakku. Finn is ejected from the TIE Fighter during the descent and wakes up alone in the desert.

Finally I built a Blacktron ship as well based on the spaceship of Carter Baldwin.
It features a single minifig cockpit, small cargo space and a verical engine

The USMF's elite pilots (those given the rank of Paladin) are a tough breed whose exploits are well known across the galaxy. Though qualified on a wide array of different craft (including ones not used by the USMF) most Paladins operate solo or in small groups; often great distances from allied bases or capital ships and thus have found great use in one-man fighter craft with FTL capability.
Miniaturizing FTL jump drives is a complex and costly process, but the benefits of a faster-than-light starfighter are numerous. For years, the USMF Paladins utilized the AX-20 "Katana" in this role. While a sturdy and fast ship, the Katana's production foundry was completely destroyed in the beginning stages of the Dimension Wars, and as such, it's service numbers dwindled further from the already small amount (in comparison to non-FTL fighters in the fleet).
Starcom Solution's answered the call for a "faster-than-light jack of all trades" by introducing the "Tekkan" (a name of Japanese origin inspired by its spiritual predecessor "Katana"). Starcom Solutions, living up to it's name, conquered the complex issue of small FTL jump drives with a unique solution; the drive systems were built at the capital ship shipyards on Saturn and then shipped to Neptune where quantum technology was used to shrink the units down to a smaller size.
Impressed by the originality of Starcom Solutions' engineering prowess, the USMF quickly requested a Tekkan for immediate trial runs. The first Tekkan produced (which was painted red with white markings as tribute to the Katana) passed its tests with flying colors (no pun intended) and was assigned to Paladin Kira Janus.
The Tekkan features twin heavy repeating lasers (much like those found on Hyperius Industries' "Scorpion"-class heavy fighter) and twin "Mjölnir"-type lightning cannons, which fire thunderous bolts of energy across great distances. These weapons pack quite the punch and require no ammunition, but require a great amount of charge time. If safety protocols are bypassed, the capacitor banks can overcharge and result in a devastating chain reaction.
(Pictured above is the AX-20 "Katana" which the "Tekkan" replaces. I paid tribute to the original craft by using a similar layout to it's wings and main thrusters, as a sort of easter egg.)

On to the back. You can get a pretty good look at how I attached the wings to the main pod.
Obviously, there's not a great deal of detail here as I was starting to struggle with the whole 'pod' thing. In retrospect, I probably should have gone for a brick built curve, rather than using curved pieces.
Now, can anyone guess what piece I used to attach the hatch? The winner gets a cookie :D
Those who play Japanese shoot 'em ups will recognize the bits of inspiration and influence in this one...
An old model, that I never got around to show. I am a bit undecided, which variant I prefer, any inputs?
Heavy as a really heavy thing: the Bullfrog laughs at most fighter cannons taking a shot at him.
It's a bit of a croaky laugh.
Refuelling at Lake Joondalup, Wanneroo. WA.
Taken before the rain started in April 2011. Notice in the distance lake Joondalup was dried up.
Now you can control the game with a real PC controller.

Amazing decorations in the mall.
The TIE Fighters are bigger than me and were suspended in the middle of the atrium.
Things that I found online to use for inspiration and thought I would share. Again, these are not mine! If I knew how to backtrack the creators not listed to give them credit I would. I hope that you enjoy!
Introduced in 2013 by MirthAir, the J-19 Vampyr (NATO reporting name: Flailchest) is a single seat, twin engine, air superiority fighter. Being among the newest of South Mirthanese hardware, the Vampyr features some of the latest in Air Force innovations with state of the art glass cockpit, AESA radar, and integrated jamming systems make it a truly modern age fighter jet. While currently only capable of mounting air-to-air weapons, engineers hope to be able to add limited air-to-ground capability in the near future.

Came across these guys today, really pleased to see an organisation prepared to fight the appalling shark fin trade. This cruel industry is largely unregulated and involves “shark finning,” or the removal of a shark’s fins while it’s fully conscious. Since shark meat is of little value to fishermen, only the fins are removed. Typically, the preyed upon shark is simply discarded back into the sea, either fully or nearly dead .Fin Fighters are an ambitious new UK shark conservation organisation; on a mission to protect sharks worldwide and end the sale and distribution of shark fin in the UK by the year 2023.
The Ship Model was hand drawn in 2004 with colour pencils. It was then scanned and integrated into a screenshot from Eve Online via Photoshop. I then worked on it with a Graphics Tablet. (The ship on the bottom right is from Eve Online)
This drawing was inspired by the concept art Heron on the Eve Online website , years before i started playing

The world's oldest working Rolls Royce aero engine (RR Falcon) powers Bristol F2B D8096/G-AEPH at Old Warden on 16th June 2013.
During the USMF's return to power as a major faction in the galactic stage, the need for newer and better ships became more and more apparent. The fallout of the Dimension Wars left numerous unexplored pockets of space in its wake and the need to quickly scout these area was of keen importance to the USMF.
Hyperius Industries, a company who had never partnered with the USMF before, found itself in need of clients after their previous big buyers, (the mysterious "Continuum"), were eradicated in the Dimension Wars. The AV-002 was the first of two major contributions to the USMF's evolving fleet.
The "Aquila" is a a long range scout/fighter craft. Though it has very little in the way of shielding, it makes up for it in raw speed. It's light frame only adds to its agility. This is the most heavily armed you'll see an "Aquila" class ship; four light laser cannons. Though options for additional armaments exist, the USMF prefers to leave the role of interceptors, attack ships, and heavy fighters to other crafts in the fleet. The Av-002 is also sold in the civilian market as well, where it enjoys a high degree of notoriety in professional space racing venues.
By the year 2314 Sadjanah Engineering bought the rights to use and build Heraj-tech's bobsleigh in order to make a multi-role interceptor out of the mainframe. Unfortunately, it wasn't the huge success that was expected...
Its flight abilities were fantastic, though it's lack of a large firepower prevent S.E. from signing major contracts with several authorities. Instead it became famous for being used by smugglers and pirates for convoy protection and, ironically, proven itself very efficient.
Well, I'm glad to finally post something. I've moved into a new place, started new studies...
So here it is, a bit of homeworld, a bit blade runner and a bit of dark turquoise because it's always cool. I'm pretty pleased with, partly because it was my first attempt at decals [Nothing fancy though] and I'm happy with the result.
C&C very encouraged as always !
