 X Wing Fighter I have been working on this, AMT's X Wing, although not the best X Wing kit by far its going as well as can be expected. Here are the wings and the "guns" which I scratched from plastic tubing and aluminum tubing. The photo shows how with another piece of plastic tube I will attach them to the "pods" A nice break from the usual armor and ships, getting near the painting stage which is slowing me down Alot.

Re: X Wing Fighter Hi Tony, Looking good! I've always fancied building some Star Wars and / or Battlestar Gallactica stuff but have too much other stuff to go through first.  Cheers, Ian

Re: X Wing Fighter Thanks guys, its going very slow due to laziness,and never having built anything like this its slow going, but I made more progress today, its going to be a bear to paint this up so I think I better get as it as much as possible while I can now. Great change of pace, I'm a huge Sci Fi fan.

Re: X Wing Fighter Slow going but here's progress so far. Hopefully it'll be done soon. Seriously thinking about starting my wooden ship building adventure soon.
