New parts patterned for a Hero X-Wing build

[moffeaton]

I figured I’d revisit the less fancy ILM style build for my next X-Wing. It involves lots of repattern work as a lot of vintage pieces and reference have passed into my hands since I attempted this last, five or so years ago? Anyway, will share progress here as I chug along. Eveything is being finessed and cleaned. Panel lines especially.

Oh…
And a couple cockpit parts were tweaked, after I took that pic! Lol

Looking great Jason! Thanks for posting and letting us follow along!

Had to remake the wings four times before I refined the dims so everything fits. Fits so well the wings lay perfectly flat! Don't even need magnets, but I'll add them for that satisfying "click" (as my friend Rob enthused) lol.

Gnarly wings

Panel lines, completely unique to each hero, so it's a total pain.... but top is done!

Wings pretty much done, too!

Wing wells are done! Tomorrow I can finish the wing engines/cans.

Got some pins from ILM old stock, sourced the exact bulbs they used in ‘76, wired, buttoned up!
