1/24 scale Ralph McQuarrie concept X-Wing scratchbuild

I should be finished with this by mid week.

Here's the first body casting right out of the mold with no trimming.

I'm carving the pilot right now, still trying to clean it up and add details. I'm using the 1/24 Harrier pilot of as a base, then added a bunch of Aves on to it and carving it down.

Wow Rel, that's a top notch job on that pilot! :eek Looks just like the concept art (although the helmet looks a tad wider). It'll go beautifully with the X-wing.
Cheers, JT

Rel, you are something else! When I was a kid I had the portofolio of his drawings that was issued. I have always wanted kits of these original designs. Jock
