[WIP][MOC] X-wing, 10226 NASA Lunar Lander alt-build

[Astatine-209]

Another X-wing, eh? Out of that?

More miraculous things have been done with odd Lego sets, but compared to making an X-wing out of, say, the 10497 Galaxy Explorer -


- this isn't going to be easy. No non-right-angle wedge plates plates means that the S foils will need to be build with plates locked at angles, increasing potential for gaps.
(I've seen a really cool X-wing made out of the Saturn V set on rebrickable, were a lack of wedge plates is also an issue, but is tackled pretty well!)

For now, I've designed the nose:


The nose is held together in a basically the same way I did it on my last X wing MOC: (part colours changed for better visibility)


I'm not sure about the black 'band' around the tip of the nose. Maybe I'll play around with recolouring the pieces.

I'm pretty happy about the cockpit area. It holds it's shape well.

For the S-foil mechanism, I'll go with the typical sheared parallelogram technique. The set has just enough pieces with technic holes for that.
