X-wing hinge?

[Beagle Bill]

Can anyone tell me who was working on the system to make the wings on the studio scale X-wings movable? Thanks.

It was for me Kevoris, Matt Meyer was working on it for me. the first unit was motorised, but as i live in the UK our customs must have got a hunch on a "suspect device" and ripped it up some.
Iam due to recieve a manual unit from Matt sometime, though i may not use it on the Red Leader build now, itll be saved for future plans.

Will these hinges be available for others to purchase? And if you don't mind me asking, how much is Matt charging you for the hinge work? Are the hinges being specifially fitted for the CC X-wing? I would love to get my hands on some hinges myself.

Hi guys I'm the one that made the manual hinge and then the motorized hinge for Lee as well as another. I can say the motor units are a complete nightmare but do work. I'm waiting for the second build using the motor unit to be finished so we can see how everything looks. The manual one works fine and is much less painful to produce. If you have any more questions about them you can email me directly

I also have a couple pics of the manual version used in a completed build.
