[SoNE Free Build] Rind’s Z-95

[Dapper-D2]

That’s Rind. He was an Ace Pilot for the Republic and came from a military family. Graduated the Academy with honors. Some would say he was born and bred to be a pilot. Genius, hard working, and thrives under pressure. When the Republic fell, he did not take it well. All he had worked for in his career seemed lost.

When I recruited him to fight with the Rebellion, I found him in a cantina on Tatooine. He was in the VIP room with three Twi’lek strippers and a bottle of booze. It didn’t take much to convince him. All I had to say was he would get to shoot down those Tie-boys again and he tossed his bottle in the trash and said, “Where do I sign-up?” He snapped back into his old regimen immediately. It’s the strangest thing, every time he shoots down one of those Imps I hear him say over the intercom, “For the Republic!” He refuses to remove the Republic markings from his Z-95 too. It was his idea to paint our Fighters the way we did. He said we needed a calling card…something those Tie-boys would fear. He calls his “Slow Red Death.” He gave it that name because he likes to toy with the Imps before delivering his kill shot.

Pork's Z-95 coming soon.

I would like this judged please.

[LegoFjotten]

Nice! I like it, very sleek.

[MstrOfPppts]

Nice build! Though I can't remember anything similar from the movies, I really like your color scheme.

[M<0><0<DSWIM]

Very cool, dude! Love the shape and the color scheme.

[Mutant Orc]

:wub: I love everything about this!! Especially clever how it splits up into "wreckage" and that it's easily stored- something I always have a problem with. :wub:

[Csacsa234]

Whoah the color scheme is really awesome! Nice looking ships I see you borrowed the engines from Jek-14's fighter. The whole ship is superb, better than the official.

[Nom Carver]

That's a huge improvement! I like these colors a lot more.

[Dapper-D2]

Thanks for the comments guys! I'm glad you like the color scheme. My favorite part of building these is adding the color.

Good eye Csacsa! After I built my version here. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=85996 I decided to pick up the official set when I saw it for $35.00 on clearance at my local Walmart. I wanted to see how the pros did it and try to take some techniques from them. The very rear portion of the engine and the cockpit I took from the official set and the nose was also inspired by it. That said I have some new ideas for Pork’s ship and it will have some big differences to the engines and wings.

The build is great again, you did a nice recolor!

however, I don't see really much new things aside from the recolor, so you might recieve less points for this one.

I recommend that you focus on something else first, and if you really want to do another color try a completely different building style for the next wings. (e.g. SNOTted wings, an other piece for the droid escape part) it would be a bit more "fresh" if you made it next episode.

Much sleeker in both shape and color blocking; I like it! I think the way the wings are oriented with the angled side in the front is a little strange; that appears to be a CW feature. But it fits your backstory.

Thanks Doc! When I Googled images of the Z-95 I noticed a lot of variations on design and color. Which is what I like about the ship. There is some leeway for experimentation and it makes building them more fun.

I like wreckage! It would fit well that way in Jacob Nion's Junkyard.

Yes I know it’s probably getting stale, but I’m trying to introduce my squadron. I have plans for a whole story including a love interest and a blatant shower scene. That said I don’t know how much time I can devote to all that and I’m just trying to keep up with all the great posts out there already. I think the next Z-95 will surprise you how different it looks and I promise after that no more Z-95s. Although they might make appearances in some scenes.

Well, maybe it's right here:

I like the sleek shape. Much more elegant than those vulgar TIE Fighters

Indeed!
