Natman8000 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Very cool and big. The tie cockpits look fine but I think they might look better plain. Quote
ADHO15 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Another amazing creation by Rook. This, like the others, looks great. I especially love how you include excellent playability features as if it were a real set. Keep up the wonderful work! Also, I'd sincerely advise you to enter the three sections of the competition, as I'm sure you will and have already begun on entries for. If you have posted any already, please forgive me. I cannot remember who has and hasn't entered. Edited March 2, 2009 by ADHO15 Quote
Clone OPatra Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Looking through the pictures, it's just so big, detailed, and lovely! Great work! Quote
-JD- Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Great work again Rook! I like the speeder. I wonder what the Z fighter would look like...... JD Quote
CommanderCody77 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Lovely MOC Rook Does the speeder in the last picture come out of the T-Wing? Quote
The Green Brick Giant Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Very nice. I never understand why the B Wing is called that. Shouldn't the B Wing really be the T Wing, it looks more like a T. :) Quote
Millacol88 Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Very nicely done. The fact that you've added an interior without bulking up the ship too much is a feat in itself. Great work, and I can't wait for the next installment of this interesting series of MOCs. Quote

Shouldn't the B Wing really be the T Wing, it looks more like a T. :) I have always thought Lucas must have been high when he named that thing the "B-Wing". Maybe a lower case "b" when the wings are closed and cockpit is at the bottom. Or chop off all the wings and you have the body and the cockpit forming an upper case "B".

Not that it's relevant to this thread, but it is to this discussion, so here is Wookieepedia's entry: The craft derives its name from the fact that the crew labeled the two new Rebel starfighter models in Return of the Jedi as "A fighter" and "B fighter". While the A-wing looks similar to a capital A, the B-wing, on first glance, does not resemble its namesake. However, when viewed upon from a certain angle, it looks like a lowercase b. The in-universe answer is that "B" stands for "Blade", making the craft's full name "Blade-wing starfighter". Quote
CommanderCody77 Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Rook, one question... what will be the Wing you will do next? Quote
Spacerunner Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 It's nice to see an original *-wing This moc looks really fine to me, I like interior too - that's something I often miis on original Star Wars sets Quote
Rook Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) Not that it's relevant to this thread, but it is to this discussion, so here is Wookieepedia's entry: That was actually very helpful. And I think it is relevant since I am build the alphabet. Thanks again. Rook, one question... what will be the Wing you will do next? I have DFG, J?, MNP, UZ. S&C look like crap and I may redo them but That would be after I've done everything at least once. Edited March 4, 2009 by Rook Quote
ADHO15 Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 That was actually very helpful. And I think it is relevant since I am build the alphabet. Thanks again. You're welcome. I didn't know that myself so I too am glad I looked it up. I have DFG, J?, MNP, UZ. S&C look like crap and I may redo them but That would be after I've done everything at least once. And when you're done, your unstoppable alphabet will rule the galaxy! Quote
Rook Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 Lovely MOC Rook Does the speeder in the last picture come out of the T-Wing? Yep. If you check the galley you can see it inside several times. My main thing as a builder is it has to be "playable". Quote
