wow, only seeing this now. This is really amazing. I have seen many attempt at lifesize xwings, always with wrong proportions, inaccurate shapes and very generic details. But this one looks really like a blown up version of the filming model, down to the paint job. It looks more accurate than...

Not familiar with the game but that looks pretty ef-ing cool

It's great, but they make the same mistake many people do: they model these parts much sharper and detailed than the actual parts are. They pretty much model it like the life size part rather than the scale model part. It looks good, but it won't look like the original when printed (especially...

Your wife must love me

Do you think they also leave in the dark for several weeks people who purchase star wars props for hundred of thousands of dollars :rolleyes:?

I can send it to eethan, to "accurize" it and to include with his metal box ;) (knowing how maniac he is with accuracy, it would probably be faster for him to make a new one from scratch though, because I mostly eyeballed eveything)

I found more wireframes of the model, I modeled everything, including the video screen And some props. They are not as accurate as the replicas you find on this forum, but good enough

oh wow, you guys resurrected my old thread from 5 years ago, didn't expect that! Well, I finished that project and moved on a long time ago. In the end, this is what the final images look like. Was really worth doing all that research, absolutely no regret :lol:

It’s a bigger, more detailed version of Luke’s xwing that was made for Return of the Jedi but I don’t think it got any screen time in the final movie. I’m not even sure it was ever shot. I don’t know why, It’s a shame. Some people here probably have more info

I dealt with him in the past too and what a stressful experience! I guess I can consider myself lucky because I did end up getting my kits ( a Bwing and an Awing), but same experience other than that : when you contact him, showing interest in purchasing from him, he replies immediately, but...

Wow, beautiful work on the weathering! looks so natural and not overdone like it's often the case

1:30h battery life is actually reasonable. I don't think this is the kind of thing you'd leave on for hours like a desk lamp. I think 1.5 hour is a good trade off for having no cables

wait, you milled each line, one at time ?

If you want to plug it for home automation, look up "battery eliminator". These are fake batteries with a plug in cable (often usb). The only issue then could be the switch: if it's a two states on/off switch, then no problem, just leave it on all the time. But if it's a push switch, then you'll...

Beautiful work. I love it. I don't remember if you mentioned it in your videos (I watched them as you released them), but what is planned for the canopy? Is it a also a part to print in clear resin or a plug for vacuum forming?
