STAR WARS-LARGE SCALE X-WING WITH LED ENGINES AND LANDING LIGHTS.

[eddiesolo]

I could faff with this forever, but have decided to call this finished, besides I need the space.

So, here is my large Hasbro 'Heroes' X-wing, painted, patched and weathered with working engines and landing lights. Comments welcome.

As always superb work Si.

I looked at this yesterday and thought the trouble with led's is they have a very narrow angle of light so have done a bit of experimenting if you screw up cling film into a cigar shape (don't know the scale of the X wing so not sure how much you would need) it diffuses the light so you can photo from the side and still see it is lighted, sorry for the digression, the weathering is up to your usual very high standard really love this, great work Si.

That is one beautifully filthy X-Wing and the lights really finish it.

 

[monica]

very well done,like it alot , :D

That's great mate nicely weathered and the LEDs give it that something extra

[phalinmegob]

brilliant, would love one of these if i had any space left

 

[dubster72]

That looks very good Si! Perhaps a tad too dirty for me, but the difference between them is excellent.

 

[eddiesolo]

Having looked at it again, I would tend to agree with with Patrick, think it is too heavily soiled in places.

Cheers Ian, turned out rather good-problem was space in trying to get the thing painted and not knock either it or something else over.
