Nom Carver Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) i built this x wing with the best i could get from the original design and the new ones, it is about the same size the original to be easy to handle and the wings unfold with click hinges, it also has the new color scheme and its exterior slicknes,is very sturdy and has a retractable landing gear, it's simple and fits with my colection, not to big, not to small. over here is very hard to get some lego, and this is as much i could do from the 4502 X-Wing and scrap http://www.flickr.co...57629117220039/ oh! and sorry for the link i dont know how to set the images, i could use some help, thanks P310112_11.54_[01] por Nom Carver, en Flickr P310112_13.37 por Nom Carver, en Flickr P310112_11.56_[02] por Nom Carver, en Flickr Edited February 6, 2012 by KielDaMan Indexed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fred67 Posted January 31, 2012 Quite good on it's own right, let alone being made from "scraps." Well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hollander Posted January 31, 2012 Quite good indeed, but I would try to increase the length of the laser cannons for sure, it would make your X-wing way more accurate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackJonespaw Posted January 31, 2012 I agree with Hollander. Make the laser cannons longer. This is very nice! To set images, go to the photo you want, click "Share", click on BBCode, and copy and paste it into your reply or topic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wokajablocka Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Nice redo on the x-wing Nom Carver. I like the colour scheme. Just wait until fallenangle looks at it and he will let you know what to change. I'm sure that he will have something to comment on . Edited February 1, 2012 by wokajablocka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Man Posted February 1, 2012 Well apart from the length of the cannons already mentioned, it looks good Nom Carver, to say it's mainly scrap it looks great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Werlu Ulcur Posted February 1, 2012 Simple and (very) efficient! Well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazedWookiee Posted February 1, 2012 I love it! Good job, doesn't look like it was put together with "scrap" parts at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharky Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Looks good. It looks more in tune with the aesthetics of the minifigure. I think sometimes we get caught up with making the vehicles very realistic when the minifigures are very stylized. Why not stylize the vehicles as well? I think not having any mechanism to open and close the wings makes it look nicer overall. Less cluttered. Keep up the good work. I would totally buy that if it was Lego set.

Nom Carver Posted February 1, 2012 thanks to all, and yes, that's the idea, to make it simplier, in stile with the minifigs, more like the old school Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
green dewback Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Good Job on that X-wing. I like the compact scale very much. Edited February 4, 2012 by green dewback Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted February 4, 2012 Excellent creation 'Nom Carver', I do agree though with many other members.....laser cannons are too short. Still it's a good solid build, Brick On 'Nom Carver' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walter Posted February 4, 2012 Heh! It's kinda cute. I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fallenangel Posted February 4, 2012 Looks good. It looks more in tune with the aesthetics of the minifigure. I think sometimes we get caught up with making the vehicles very realistic when the minifigures are very stylized. Why not stylize the vehicles as well? The vehicles are stylized enough as it is, being built in LEGO. Even creations like Jerrec's A-wing have things like studs and places where parts don't perfectly line up that, when comparing the creation with something like an SMT kit, give the former a LEGO-like feel. It isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's always there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nom Carver Posted February 5, 2012 Thanks for all your comments and positive criticism, I will try to make the proper changes as soon as I can get some usefull pieces from the new x wing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
