phantom Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Just to bug all the purists out there.... I am beginning a Star Trek version of the X-wing fighter. Out of the box (mostly) build but using United Federation of Planets markings. So far it appears that Puke Skywalker has gone AWOL so I will have to toss in a jet pilot from the spare bin. Big empty box. with way more air then plastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Not at all. This is just a really simple model. Wings together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Getting ready to put he fuselage together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Ready for paint. Well after the excessive putty is dealt with. To get to this point was maybe 4 hours. Now its time to eat and watch a hockey game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 OK, now I know why the Star Wars guys use red markings and not the Federation Duck Egg Blue. This sucker ain't winning any IPMS shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 Ready for decals. But I have to say I am not impressed. Poor fit, and detail and my colour choice is boring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 Right the silliness is done. This one is going to be given away. Or trashed. Maybe redone. Sure no show winner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Even being just a pretty basic build it is unique and cool, especially since X-Wing liveries are not known for commonly including large text. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
admiralcag Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 May not be a silk purse, but it will get some heads to explode. Vern Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Els Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I am sure that Kirk would have had a good time getting into trouble with that. Those markings actually look pretty darn good on the X-wing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 I all ready gave it away to a friends kid from work. Main reason, beyond its not up my my specs.....I just don't have enough room for all my finished stuff anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
