TheLegoDr Posted May 15, 2018 I started building this last summer, but never was able to take pictures of it. When I finally did, I revealed it on AFOLs of Facebook to much fanfare, but I thought I would share it here as well. First picture is an angle shot. It is a modified 9493. I extended the nose, modified cockpit and engines. But I used that set as a starting point, then changed things as it came along.

Added some extra decals so Benny knows his surroundings better. Neo Classic Space X-Wing by TheLegoDr, on Flickr With s-foils in attack position. Front view.

Neo Classic Space X-Wing by TheLegoDr, on Flickr I know I've seen many classic space inspired X-Wings, but I liked doing it myself as well. It was a big hit at the few local LEGO shows I've taken it to. I have since built a 48x48 landing pad similar to the 928 landing pad, but no pictures taken yet. I have also built a classic space Y-Wing and currently working on another station/landing area for an A-Wing. Anyway, let me know what you think. Plus, any critiques. I'm new to classic space inspired builds. I don't have a lot of these colors, so it is all new purchases for me, so I don't always have the greebling needed. I have given thought to going back and smoothing out the wings better and exposing less studs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danth Posted May 15, 2018 Very nice! Love the spoiler, great touch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Littleworlds Posted May 15, 2018 Cool reinterpretation! It looks nice and balanced and the classical colour-scheme works very well with it. The spoiler is a fun idea. I actually would have exaggerated the classic space elements a bit more. Maybe more translucent pieces (guns, marking lights) and more redundant wings, fins and antennas. Still an excellent MOC!

Trekkie99 Posted May 16, 2018 Sweet, sweet, sweet! I love x-wings and I love classic space! Awesome model of the two blended together! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here regarding the spoiler! 4 hours ago, Littleworlds said: I actually would have exaggerated the classic space elements a bit more.

dulsi Posted May 17, 2018 Great build. Looks like the R2 unit is just the head piece. I'd try to make it removable but instead of using an R2 use more of a classic space robot. (Maybe not an exact classic space robot but something that fuses it and the design of the R2 together.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Professor Thaum Posted May 17, 2018 That's a nice gift for Benny... I noticed you added some "bulky" greeblings perfecting the space classic touch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Space Police XVIII Posted May 17, 2018 Probably my favorite X-Wing build, period. Just the right amount of detailing and greebling I think. It looks serious. And it might have been mentioned before but the spoiler is a great touch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLegoDr Posted May 18, 2018 Thanks everyone! I thought the spoiler set it apart from a traditional x-wing, so I'm glad people like it. As for more classic space, I'm sure that is true. This was my first step into neo classic space so I'm sure there is room for improvement. I didn't want to go overboard like Benny's spaceship, so I went a more subtle approach. I do agree on the R2 unit. I used his head because of the color scheme, but I agree on making a more classic looking droid. By remodeling the cockpit area to accommodate the new windscreen, I didn't have a lot of room for a droid, so his head was placed there. I figure he can still monitor and track things, just can't get up and move around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
