- A-wing model -

It took 15 houres to build this model, and it was finished on 16-1 '02. 
It measures 81cm long and 42cm wide, and it is supported on it's own 
landinggear. The srpings make it bounce a bit when you touch it. The
scale is just bigger then a Technic figure. Most of the ship was build
in one go, but some parts needed to be rebuild to fit the rest. 

Most work whent into the back off the ship, and the tailwings. The engines
are a bit to small, but the rest looks okay. Since I don't know how the 
interior of the ship looks, I just build a seat and a stearing wheel. The
model is primarly made up out of plates, which cover almost 75% off it. The
rest is just sloped bricks and normal bricks. Finding the bricks was hard, 
especialy when I ran out of grey strips. 

I build this model because Guybrush (known from fbtb.net) builds alot of UCS
scale ships from Starwars, but he hasn't build the A-wing before. He asked 
people to build UCS's so I started work on this thing. The goal was to build
a UCS model, but since I started with the engines which got pretty big, most
off the model had to be build in the same scale. It actualy turned out 
bigger then the scale of the engines. I think this model really shows the 
transformation from Jedi Starfighter to A-wing.
