Henjin_Quilones Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) B-Wing Starfighter The B-Wing Starfighter is a new addition to the Neo-Classic Space fleet, featuring dual cockpits, antenna arrays, lots of thrust, and some potent blasters. She's not the most maneuverable ship in the galaxy, but she's got it where it spells, kid. Over on Flickr and Instagram, Dave Kaleta (I don't think he's on Eurobricks, but I could be wrong) is hosting a contest to build alphabet starfighters. Since I love both spaceships and literacy, I decided to join in the fun. I had to start with my favorite letter, B, piloted by a blue 1980s-something spaceman (and a yellow 2019 spaceman, too). This is my first foray into Neo-Classic Space, and I am decently pleased with the results. And I finally finished a spaceship that I liked, which is a plus, after failing for several years. I threw in as many Classic Space pieces as I could, like the three loudspeakers/positioning rockets on the back, or the computers in the twin cockpits. But of course it is Neo-Classic Space, not Classic Space, so lots of modern curves and tiles made it in, and copious greebles. When viewed from above, it makes a lovely B. C&C welcome.

GeoBrick Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Bravo! Edited April 3, 2020 by GeoBrick To accentuate the "B" for this letter space fighter Quote
lowlead Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 Best. Color scheme. EVAR. Gotta love a nice Neo-classic build! The engine detail is particularly great - especially at the outer edges with the triple-fin vents and blue slopes. Awesome stuff! Quote

sander1992 Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 Nice! The shape is great, color scheme is classic, the use of the windscreen is fantastic and the greebling is stunning! Quote
