Four foot X-wing (ILM tribute)

[427 Cobra]

I know that everyone has asked about this, so here's the latest that I have. I hoped to have more to show, but I've been called away to finish other projects that needed my immediate attention. These are the humble beginnings of the wings. These photos are almost two months old now. I had to stop once I got to the point where I needed to cast multiple parts for them. This is a problem that I hope to soon remedy.

I had to cut styrene sheets for each of these to cover them over. This will make it easier to scribe the lines.




Acrylic makes for a durable base.






This picture was taken to show transparency.





I had to wash the glue residue from the protective film off the surface of each panel.





I had to reglue the pieces that I cut from the wing inside facing panels, as I removed too much from the beginning.
