Vyngard Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 When I was young I spended whole days on playing with my lego's. I had boxes full of them: town, star wars, technic, adventurers,... One year ago I rolled back into the hobby and buyed Some sets and started collecting. I focus on the LEGO Star Wars now. I love the Star Wars Rebels series and I started building my own A-wing Starfighter. Found some inspiration on this forum and the web. Here it is, but keep in mind, it isn't done yet. Quote
VaderFan2187 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Cool, really dig the wedge shape techniques Quote
Tyutyu Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Welcome to Eurobricks, I love the colors of the cylinder and rim parts. I did not like this canopy piece but with this enhanced ship size, it looks great. I might try a V-wing this size with this canopy Is the front most tile part non Lego? It looks like a Mega Bloks piece Cheers Quote

Are we forgetting that LEGO doesn't even make a 4x4 flat tile, that's the immediate give away, no dout NOT LEGO. Edited January 16, 2017 by MaxTube55 Added emphasis to the horrible crime that is using non-LEGO elements here or anywhere. Quote
Dhivael Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Although, it is a 6x6 tile and not a 4x4 like you suggest. Which IS a lego element, and does come in blue. See, http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6881#T=S&C=7&O={"color":7} Quote
Delta62 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Really nice, love the way you built it too, especially the angled parts in the front. Quote
SPACIBA Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) It is 6x6 but no sure if is lego, nice A wing, very similar of star wars rebels blue. Edited January 16, 2017 by SPACIBA Quote

Ellisss_2 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Great design, the angles are sick! Definitely looks like the tile is Lego, I always remembered that piece having a rough like surface! Kind regards, Ellis. Quote
That Orange Thing Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 The A-wing is one of my favourite ships and this is a great design. I really love how you have captured the chunkiness of the ship and I love the rounded edges. Would be interesting to see how the new fin moulded pieces from the A-wing v tie advanced set would look on your model. im pretty confident that tile is a Lego piece. I'm sure I have one from the sopwith camel set but in green. That also has a matt finish that is very un-Lego like. Quote
Vyngard Posted January 16, 2017 Author Posted January 16, 2017 It IS an original lego part, NOT mega bloks. You guys got me doubting first, so I just checked when I got home from work. I got it from bricklink, so it could be possible.. I'm not satisfied with the overall looks so changes will be made, but the comments are very nice and supportive. Thanks! Quote
SPACIBA Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 How many blue A wings do you have? I see another one in the pics Quote

I'm accually trying to build the hangar inside Phoenix Home and a couple of fighters. You can also see the hangar in progress in my first pictures. Edited January 17, 2017 by Vyngard Quote
FTG Prime Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Man you did such a great job capturing the design of the A-Wing, love how you used round bricks & cones to get the shape right, that's just brilliant in my opinion, and it's not even finished ! (acording to you) looking forward to seeing the full squad :) Quote
