Poe X wing mods: no bands/retractable landing gear/full split wings

Looks great!

Thanks JPN and atlas,

Some pics with more blacked out engines and fuselage midsection, flared torpedo launchers, and cockpit with headrest and side consoles:

I made a few screenshots from the latest tv trailer, showing Black Leader moving foils to attack position, those wings aren't exactly thin...

I know it's been a while, but if you've still got that original prototype of the wing mechanism that you mocked up, I'd love to see a breakdown of it. I'm not skilled enough to figure out how you did it- my experience with mods is limited to replacing parts for availability and colour changes.

Sadly no...but here are all the pics I took at the time, hope that helps, keep in mind those 2x3 plates should be the slopes on the sides of the engines:

I was actually expecting that you wouldn't have anything, so this is quite a boon, thanks!

Right now I am having an issue with the lower wing sagging. I'm going with more of the Lego style wing, did you adjust the bottom wing for weight savings to keep it flush?

Did you add a conventional hinge on either side of the 4 stud wide hinge plate? I indeed had to add that for more friction. Also, the 12x2 orange plate of the rear wing should nicely fit in a recess in the top part, keeping things locked and level when the wings are closed. Good luck!

Edited to add: if you mean that the wing itself sags in relation to the engine cowling, have a close look at this pic; notice how the one stud wide orange plate under the 2X12 orange plate runs all the way to the craft's fuselage for stiffness:

I haven't yet - I will give that a shot to see if it works. As far as the wing goes, the break begins at the engine almost as if it is too heavy for the hinges. I will see where it goes after the hinges are added, hopefully that will make a difference.

Great info and great pics!

Damn... people need to learn to use imgur.com

To be fair, photobucket has worked just fine for over a decade, they just decided to basically hold everyone's pictures to ransom. Looks like a good way to loose 99% of customers to me

That's what I'm doing now. I got fed up with all the clickbait ads upon logging in.

Problem is that you can't access them in your account, meaning they're gone UNLESS you pay them. If you could get them in photobucket but not on other sites that's still slightly understandable, but this...

Sorry for being offtopic.
