Description
A belated Christmas gift for my dear friend, colleague and fellow geek , who built a papercraft TWOK phaser for me. As me and paper together usually results in disaster, I built this little 3D X-Wing fighter for her instead.Yeah, folks, my first Star Wars model and boy, was it hard to build! I think it was a harder case then the Sovereign class! The texturing was fun, it was interesting to make this poor bird look all beaten and burnt. Animating it was tricky, but the S-foils DO lock into attack position. And she comes with the classic R2 astromech unit, a red one as requested. I think it's a she and answers to the name of Jezabel. Only the Force knows why...
So, Ildi, I hope you like this little bird, may she take you to safe journies and major victories. May the Force be with you!

The real question is... does that pilot know how to lob Shadow Bombs

For your first Star Wars model you've done exceptionally well, is this a one off or do you plan to recreate other designs in the near future from the franchise?
Love the weathering on the textures. Great job.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it!
I don't know how far I'll venture into The Galaxy, as Star Wars models are degrees more complex than Trek ones. I thought I could build this one in two days. It took me more than a week!

I can understand that, most Trek models, Federation at least are pretty simple. I would suggest trying the TIE Fighter that is a fairly simple design and may be easier for you to model.
