Re: 1-6th X-wing project

This was what I used a reference mate.... Obviously it was just a publicity still, but that must have been where Hasbro got the flap with the little sheet of paper that's on the left sleave.

I'm gonna have to work on mine now... It needs a ton of work! :lol
 
Re: 1-6th X-wing project

Haha so kind DP but the more I work on it the more mistakes and errors I see. But its all a learning curve for the next build...............


I have a nasty tendency to piss all over people's joy at their accomplishments if they're not perfect, and it upsets quite a few people (as most already know) and I honestly can't find anything wrong with it...

Well, other than the fact that there's no wings... :lol

But the part of it you did make is absolutely stunning. I would have called it done several iterations ago, you just keep going and going, it's not just 100% now it's getting up to around 150% awesome, and rising!




Dorgs m8 i wish i lived near u so i could be your Igor.

"It's FRONK-en-steen!" :lol

Funny, you beat everyone to the punch...... Looks awesome Mark, words fail to describe it. You are the Grand Master now. If there was ever a doubt!!!!


:lecture I doubt that there ever was a doubt.

Got very excited over this one... so I have decided to make brownies, the cake type not the trouser type... ummmm smell good. Back to photos :)

Unfortunately, I made brownies too. Not the smell-good kind though.

Those pics are awesome!





Seeing this stuff keeps reminding me how much I wish there had been a VII, VIII, and IX.

Eh, if they were done now, I'm sure they'd be all CG with no famous people. It might even be targeted at younger audiences. Lucas really doesn't care about his creation anymore, his vision has been brought to life on screen, and now, 33 years later, all that's left to do is suck more money out of it. Just be careful what you wish for!

Although if Lucas had continued to make them before he did the prequels, then that would've been awesome. But I think it's too late now. Pretty soon, George Lucas won't even remember his own name, he's starting to get old now. He's already executed order 66, going on order 67. He probably won't live more than 15, 20 more years.

Re: 1-6th X-wing project

Re: 1-6th X-wing project

Who cares if the boots are long/short enough? We're all staring at your shiny (but now, weathered and not as shiny) amazing X-Wing!

Who knows, maybe the costume department misplaced his boots between shots, and in some they're slightly longer and in others they're slightly shorter... :huh


And the dancing kittens are most certainly enough! But if lordscum still wants more...

So Dorgs, when will you build a Y-Wing and make the entire hangar scene in 1/6?

Perhaps you can use it as practice for when you build the Death Star. How much do you think the moon will cost? You'll probably need to build it piece by piece, and then take chunks out of the moon and replace them with the Death Star pieces...

X-Wing pilots wear the same boots as the Rebel fleet trooper. You need to replicate these:

Marmit TIE Pilots wear the same boots as well. They have a side flap and a small buckle on the sides. The only time you can REALLY see them in the movie is when Luke is walking to Han in the Rebel hangar just before he takes off, in a wide shot.

In some pics the orange flight suit is folded over the edge of the boot, making them look off. Just look at the screen caps and you'll see. ;)
