T 65 - X wing

[bo56a1]

The front parts of the fuselage have been covered with a first layer of cardstock, glued together and then glued with the rear part which have been covered too.



In order to give some relief I have covered all the fuselage with pieces of thin cardstock separated by a millimeter from each other

[bo56a1]

The back side and the upper side of the rear part have been provided with their equipment and R2D2 has been built.


Then, the canopy and the cockpit have been built



A this step, the fuselage has been painted in dark grey.

I have built the laser cannons (the wooden rod is used to strengthen the rigidity)


The construction of the wings has begun (I have used steel rod to reinforce the wings)

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

Wow! Really a nice model and so detailed. I like the details behinde the R2 unit!

[frijj2001]

Really great and nice seeing it come together

Once the wings were finished, I built the wing support. The connection between the wings and the support is reinforced with steel rods.

[bo56a1]

The inner ant outer face of the wings have been covered by gluing thin pieces of cardstock as I did with the fuselage.


Then I have build the different parts of the motors.

[bo56a1]

The end of the construction. I have added turbine propellers in each motors (they are nearly invisible)




After this step it was the painting and the assembly
