RubiconLJ Posted April 6, 2024 Posted April 6, 2024 Been a long time since I started this project to model all 6 screen shown X-Wings in the Original movie. These are my interpretations based on the original release and the enhanced released versions. 3 Quote
happy grumpy Posted April 8, 2024 Posted April 8, 2024 Great job on the X-wings. Beautiful paint job. I've always like the X-wing and the millennium falcon of course. You certainly captured the look of the studio models. Quote
Dave Van Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 Nice work!!! Maybe my favorite movie fighter ships. Quote
RubiconLJ Posted April 9, 2024 Author Posted April 9, 2024 Thanks folks. I started work on General Antoc Merrick's Blue Leader/One from Rogue One over the weekend. Sorry for the delay in the reply while waiting for Mod approval. LOL (been since before the update to the forum since I'd posted) Quote
shoeman Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 Those look great! Been a big fan since the first movie blew my 14 year old mind on it's release. Even built an Estes (I think) model rocket version as a teen. Quote
RubiconLJ Posted April 17, 2024 Author Posted April 17, 2024 Thanks both of you. X-wings are my second favorite SF ship and number one fighter. First place for me is the Eagle Transporter from Space:1999. It just looks like it would work having been in inspired by the lunar lander. Got a couple of them in the stash to (hopefully) get to later this year. Quote
Jim N Posted May 15, 2024 Posted May 15, 2024 Great looking squadron of fighters. Really impressive! Quote
RubiconLJ Posted May 15, 2024 Author Posted May 15, 2024 Thanks Jim. I'm working on Red 12 right now to add the squadron. Quote
RubiconLJ Posted June 10, 2024 Author Posted June 10, 2024 Work got in the way and it took a very long time to get the final T-65 X-Wing done. This one is known as Blue 12 on the photos released by ILM that were used as film tests. Red 12/Blue 12 1 Quote
TonyK Posted June 13, 2024 Posted June 13, 2024 Excellent work on all of these! Great photography also. 1 Quote
JNordgren42 Posted August 22, 2024 Posted August 22, 2024 Really well done! I'd love to do a complete Red Squadron one day, but for the moment I'll have to be happy with just Red 5. Quote
