Hi all! This is my first (completed) MOC ever as an AFOL, an A-wing in 1:43 scale. I made it in my own color scheme.
More pics:
The build is very simple thanks to these newer lego wedge parts combining into an absolutely perfect a-wing shape:
Btw I learned that the ILM studio model is basically just two parts of an f-14 fuselage glued together, can't unsee it now!
The result is a very sturdy model, apart from couple of areas: the cannons, the forward 3x2 tiles (gotta replace them with 2x6 ones), and the rear structure between the engines. The engines are also a bit weak, but at least they're locked at an angle and don't wobble at all.
The canopy is the only 2-wide one lego produces, so it is what it is. There's also nowhere to put a proper landing gear, just this makeshift peg. It's close to the center of mass, so its reasonably stable (and can be used as a handle to swoosh the ship around :) )
