Thanks guys Yep life can be cruel or things happen for a reason as they say,but my daughters and my props keep me going in my spare time I'm lucky I carmaker things I only figured that out summer-Autumn 2017 as well.
ok so its on like donkey Kong! rear top side panel removed and the bottom one was too just before it and i cut a slot the length of the wing piece going into the x wings body. also the thickness of the wing down the way but allowed for the fact that i want the wing to sit in attack position. so by making the depth of the slot a few millimetres more than thickness of the wing that accounts for that. i had to revisit this a couple of times to get the slot right but that's how it goes.
thanks delziel im glad you like it do far .
i will see it through of course and make more in the future although it will be tough to make bigger ones than this although size isnt everything plus i would soon run out of room lol.
thanks the speeder bike was my first build back in 2017 before that the most i built was a cup holder or a chopping board at school lol i knew i wasnt to bad with my hands but i shocked myself id no idea i could do this at all till i tried. i wanted a life size speeder bike id seen one on here made was a good while before i made mine. i Couldnt find one anywhere for sale and decided id make my own lol. the rest as history as they say lol.
imagine a lego lifesize speeder bike how awsome would that be!
Mark,sorry for saying this,but I got the impression that the wings perhaps are too small compared to the rest of the ship,or is that just a matter of misleading perspective? Just wondering...
i was meaning making props in general when wrote that bit you have quoted.
no it must just appear that way i have taken measurements from toy which was like 16 inch x 14 inch and transfered that into feet and made it.
all other measurements was done the same way too. the angle is possibly deceiving i think yep.
the wings will go inside the body of the x wing by a foot at least so i have option also to pull wings out by another few inches if had too but it must be the angles so far i think that's deceiving ya.
at at walker would b cool i cant fit that in i dont think lol
both bottom wings are in place i am able to put them a couple more inches more into the body or i can take them out by up to mabye 6 inches if needed but they seem fine just now its quite deceiving from certain angles.
ye i think size wise this could be the centre piece. i would love to have the falcon cockpit and mabye some corridor added onto it. one day i hope i can have one sofa king will sort me out with one lol
