X-Winged at last
« on: January 09, 2016, 05:53:47 PM »
I am still upholding my attempts to not but more stuff, but X-Wing is currently a major temptation.
To stave off the buying bug I built the Aurek Besh 100 fighter, piloted by Teedo (all Teedo are called Teedo according to Wookiepedia)...
Needs a proper X-Wing base and a counts-as, of course. Kudos to you if you can guess which is the fore end!

In spite of my best intentions I fell at last, and bought X-Wing (at a discount  :D) and a Y-Wing fighter - I gather the latter is not very manoeuverable, but I loved this A New Hope design to bits and just had to get it. 

I dug up my old AMT AT-AT kit and its two Snowspeeders - the latter are a bit oversized, the former is far too big, I think- it's about 20cm tall!

I also found two old kits - a bit larger in size - which I might try to convert; and another couple of scratchbuilds.
Now I need to get some bases  - seems they're only available for pre-order at the moment, pity.

Welcome to the Weakwilled Club!  lol It's so bloody addictive.  You scour the Internet for cheap deals and get drawn into buying them incase they're never available at that price again!  It's awful.  lol

Sigh - exactly.
At least I'm not alone.  :D

Do hope your struggles continue to inspire 'wacky' designs of your own.

When truly 'stuck in' to the game, share with us your ship stats.  ;)

I think they might get worse..... I have a couple of rather large beasties planned.
Ship stats - sure, but only when I've practiced my Koiogran turns...  ;D
