sparkart Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Originally, I set out to make an Advent calendar sized version of the Episode VII X-Wing. That failed effort turned into this. I guess this could be an evolved iteration of the X-Wing for Episode X, but I am set on the idea that this model is actually the McQuarrie-esque version of the X-Wing for the inevitable Star Wars series reboot.

Corydoras Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Sad X-Wing is sad... But seriously, this looks like a nice concept design. Quote
JonnyRainbow Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Very cool! But maybe a little too much "droopy" and not enough "swooshy". Other than that, an awesome merger of the McQuarrie design and the Force Awakens design. Quote
sparkart Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 Thanks for checking it out, guys. I've revised the model a bit, but didn't get rid of any droopiness. It's been sitting on my display shelf for a few days, and I have to admit, it's not getting less weird. It still strikes me, too, as a little strange, a little outrageous even, like something from an anime. But I'm going to keep it this way, in the spirit of "acquiring a taste". Ironically, the extreme droop came about from wanting more swooshability. I wanted the nose to droop a little, but to put two clips to hold it more securely, the droop becaume extreme. I kinda liked it, kinda hated it. Weird, I know. I read somewhere that a car designer once said that he tried to design ugly cars, then dial it back a little from hideous-level. He said that it had to be done that way, because all the classically beautiful body lines have already been done in automotive design. I'm not sure I agree 100%, but I can see his point in challenging the conventional. Quote
Lord Tyrus Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 I actually like it! It looks like a more bird-like version, more sleek, yet not as tough, maybe some sort of scout ship? Quote
LegoPercyJ Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Awesome! Nice, sleek design, looks like something out of The Star Wars. Quote
