Pardon my French, of course.

That's also a shed-load of greebliefication.

Looking great, Ron! Love the added greebliefication!

Wow it's fun to say "greebliefication".

I think I've got an earworm now. Wait, earworms are Star Trek - the Wrath of Kahn and not Star Wars.

 :icon_crap:

Anyway, thanks for the update. This build is gonna be one for the books!

I think we can all agree that Ron must get a special bulk buy discount on his putty...

Speaking of which :P This is the most tedious frikken thing I have ever done :-\ :icon_crap:


Each gun is six different pieces each of which must be modified to fit :icon_sueno: :icon_nif:
Should look pretty cool though

The problem... now I have to build the other side :icon_beer:

Well I am thinking along the lines of black base with green(s) bits :-\ Anyway I got the guns for the other side done


You know even with a stash the size of mine it is really difficult to find 6 matching parts then do that 6 more times :-X :-\ :icon_sueno:
36 frikken parts that will fit into about 2 inches :o
I think I am a silly person ;)

Thanks bubba. I was trying to get something that encompassed the original description of the craft ; twin engine, swing wing , forked tailed , bubble canopy , and arrowhead shaped and still have  something that could possibly be the ancestor of the X-wing.

I now have to figure out how to incorporate "greebliefying" into my daily vernacular.

 ;) Thanks all y'all :-* Hey I have had some feedback that suggested that I add some cover panels (armor?) to the engines. Not totally cover them but just add some smooth-ish bits. What do y'all think? :-\

I like it as is, but if you chose to add panels, you can always make intricate patterns and then add them last  ;)

Maybe just do the one engine ? As though the other had to be taken off for some reason ?
