Incom T-65B X-Wing

[rx79gez8gundam]

I set out to create a more screen-accurate minifigure scaled X-Wing, and this is my result. The model is built to accept the canopy used in the new Poe's X-Wing Fighter set (75102), but it is not yet available to use in LDD so I created a stand-in for now. I am collecting the pieces to build the model, which is 1471 elements total. It features a geared S-Foil wing system controlled by the wheel on the back, opening canopy, and positionable landing gear with doors.

Please visit my Mocpages to see more of my work. Comments/feedback appreciated!

I love the SNOT usage on this, it's a shame the official sets don't use more SNOT too. It also just all around looks more seamless than the official sets.

Hey! That looks great!

Although, I am not really a fan of the Rebel Alliance, I appreciate some of the designs for their vehicles; like this one, which you did an excellent job representing in Lego with the studless techniques you implemented!

[rx79gez8gundam]

Thanks! Seamless design is always a big goal of mine, as is as nearly studless as possible. Overall I strive for accuracy first, playability second, and size/number of elements a distant third. That's why so much of my work is huge! This is actually one of my smaller sets. That said, I think I actually nailed all three on this one.

No worries, a better TIE is on the way!

Wow! That's a really awesome design. The details put into it make it even better. :)

That looks very good. I have tried to do something a similar size myself based around the 4 wide engine intake, but I never managed to get anything I was happy with. Have you considered using 2x4x4 half cylinders behind the engine intakes?

Yes I have. There is no adequate transition for the studded end, and they would preclude the ability to feature functional landing gear.

Looks very good. I like it in gray more then in white.

[TheBear]

Yes I have.

Of course, I assumed you would have but thought I would mention it anyway. It looks really accurate, I look forward to seeing the brick built version.

Collecting the parts currently, almost have them all. Also working on a T-70 model, will post pics when it's finished.

For some reason, the part I love the most about this beautiful model is the canopy. I think it looks even better than Poe's. I also think this is better than Psiaki's.

[YellowCorvette]

Looks pretty good, but it think the X-Wing will look better if the yellow parts are replaced with Dark Tan.

[La Chupacabra]

Nice SNOT but I think that your X-Wing is little bit too big.

[Renegade Clone]

Looks amazing! Congratulations on a superlative design It is probably slightly oversized for a true minifig-scale model but that is a very minor issue. Can't wait to see the real life build

[Sucram]

We need an LDD file for this. Now.

Working on making one available.
