WIP Z-95 Headhunter

[Darth Doggfather]

I'm currently working on a Z-95 from the Star Wars Expanded Universe. For those who don't know, it's like an X-wing, but without the astromech socket and s-foils. Mine is currently in the "roughed-in" stage, where the body's structure is done, but details such as landing gear and a cockpit are very primitive. It's covered with bright red, and there are 3 plates that I didn't have in red, so I needed to use white and old gray. I'm sorry for no pictures, but I'll have them up later today, hopefully.

Sounds interesting. I hadn't thought of doing that - might be reason enough to pick up the new X-Wing set...

[Darth Doggfather]

YAY! Deeplinks are up! Please don't bother asking about the cockpit, because it is definitely not ready for prime time.

Left side with the front and landing gear:

Slightly higher right side view with a nice view of the greebling on the roof:

Rear 3/4 view showing left side:

Front 3/4 view with left side:

Very low front view, showing left side:

And finally, an action shot X-D :

What I still need to do:

Cockpit

Engines

More greebling in various areas

MORE GUNS!!! ;-)

Hey there, first let me say, not a bad attempt at all! This could have the makings of a great fighter, just a couple of small notes:

1. That's a very interesting color scheme for a Z-95, I guess parts availability?

2. The body of the fighter is very blocky. Remember, the Z-95 was an aerospace fighter, not just space. It does need to be somewhat aerodynamic

3. Try to make your own guns instead of those Star Wars molds. Not only will it look better, but it's more satisfying!

Great work, and keep it up. I can't want to see the finished product!

Uh... smaller pics would be nice... please? It may sound weird, but I can't see anything...

[Darth Doggfather]

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I've added a detailed cockpit, a pair of engines, and I'm currently working on reducing the blockiness factor and reworking the guns. I should have some pictures up later.

I'm also going to reduce the picture size, Hobbes.
