Hello,

It's the second time I post on this forum. So, let me show you my last finished scratch build : T 65- X Wing based on the model of David PETHES.

Building this model takes me one and half year.

My model is near from studio scale model with about 31 inches length and wingspan.

Very clean and precise build. It's refreshing to see a "pure" X-Wing without weathering. It looks as if it came fresh from the assembly line.

That's a nice x-wing you got there. I can see that you did quite a lot of modifications. Can you share a bit about the build process? I'm curious how did you do the panel lines.

Thank you very much guys for your kind comments.

To answer to Imcold, I'm going to summarize the building process which is described on the french forum Forum en papier (https://www.maquettes-papier.net/for...p?f=56&t=15946).

Then, I have built the skeleton of the front part of the fuselage divided into a upper part and a lower part :

The skeleton of the rear part of the fuselage have been built :
