1/24 Hero X Wing Build with Maxi Brute Fuselage

[Kuhn Global]

LOLOLOL.... I must say that there are a lot of mis-conceptions of the X-wings as they were, and are still being discussed. Some of the so-called "facts" even pulled from Chronicles and other 'official" sources are even wrong compared to what the actual, original artists have to say that did these beasties. So don't get too upset when folks debate things and get 'huffy' because they believe they know better. Even some of the original artists can't agree as to what originally happened. Many brain cells were destroyed making these beautiful models we all cherish.... LOL

For instance... the white over black paint on the X-wings... in the books... that is how it was done... even in some photos we can see this.... but ask the man in the photos himself.... and he will tell you that was only on one or two birds... to test what it looked like and effects it could have in front of the camera. And... further more... that they were painted with a brand light grey that still exists today, but changed it's color format for that specific grey years ago. BLASPHEMY!!!... according to those who argue constantly. LOL

My point being... until we really invent time travel... we will really never know what truths are what.

I know a few people that believe that Maxi-Brute was an actual pull from a hero bird.... and others that dismiss that altogether.... no matter how accurate it seems.

My bottom line is that if it looks like an excellent X-wing... then it is. Be Happy! For those of us that are well over 40, it is much better than anything we had, or made growing up.

I am looking forward to viewing more on this Maxi Brute Build!

Clay has one planned Doug. As do I.. eventually. There is also a few more photos of this that I believe exist, but have yet to see them since I released the one above originally..... a top and side shot from what I am told. They will eventually make their way to me through the grape vine.... and then.... to everyone from there. Unless, of course, select photos are released before they get to me.... that is when we may all do the Snoopy Happy Dance! That will be a great day.

I poured over these for hours trying to make sense of them. I saw the photo with the wing numbers superimposed in it on the RPF,but I don't remember who,or where I downloaded that from. They made it easier to figure out which one was truly which,and not an assumuption with a fuzzy photograph. After seeing these,and comparing along with talking to a few others,I figured the exact same thing that I posted here,so that you all can know the truth,and not a bunch of misguided guesses.

Agreed,... many assumptions are made.

Don't forget that some of the birds seen on those tables are PYRO models.

All of the above stated.... I definitely cannot and do not claim to know anything as absolutes.... even with killer photo reference.
