Four foot X-wing (ILM tribute)

[427 Cobra]

Thank you guys! Your words are very encouraging,as I've hit a few brick walls during the last month.



This is the backside of this piece. I forgot to snap a photo of it until today.




This is all the latest progress. The worst is still yet to come. I have to make the rest of the J shaped pieces,and all these tiny parts,and greeblies that make up the bottom of the hyperdrive vault. There's a lot of intricate parts that I didn't even know existed on this model until last week! I need to hurry this up,so I can finish a canopy for a friend on another forum,and a couple of other projects I have in the works. I hope this will satisfy everyone for a few days until I can get back on this,then follow up all the parts I started earlier,but stopped to make the smaller parts you see in these pictures.

There're a lot of rod shapes to make on this. I don't think I have the ability to do this anymore,I'll have to call on some friends to help me out. If I can get the correct sizes from them,I can do it. Otherwise,I'll be here forever cutting styrene!!

"Plastruct don't fail me now!"





A look at some of the other parts. Notice that there are TWO identical crankshaft arms here in this photo.



A closer look at these pieces. I turned all the circle shapes on a drill,as they were to small for a lathe. There are some parts that aren't shown in any of these photos,but I yet to make them. They're too small to be seen straight on,but they are visible from side views.





A look at the bottom right side. I hope to finish this today,and the canopy that I promised to make for a friend.
