You did an OUTSTANDING job on this model.
This is definitely studio (and museum) quality work.
KUDOS to you on a FINE job, well done.
I like how you have it mounted to the way.

Thanks for the link!
This is truly the best X-Wing model I have ever seen. WOW!

Daamned!! That is a great link there. I thank you and the "force" is with you!

[dnalor]

Yes...

today the x wing mounted again and the wings stay in battle mode

Lets the soldering begin...

+ YouTube Video

You would get a fortune for that model if you ever decided to sell it. I know people say, "No one could pay me enough", and that is usually true, but I think you would be surprised how close they would come to "pay me enough"!!

I'm open for bidding

nah, just kidding.....he looks just to great to sell..

I hope that i get a tie fighter to go with it....but that's still in progress....

first i have to get those light working.

I'm working on a Tie, hopefully finishing it this year; progress pic(s): http://imcold.evilhosting.org/web/wip/

[dnalor]

sweet .....
I will hope too

First there was no decent tie fighter...then from everywhere they are poping up
i was looking for this one which looks also promising..

The first i found is not released....

But i think the new ones of ninjatoes en you imcold are better detailed...(or become superior)


It's going to be a great year

[imcold]

Shame about the unreleased one, it looks top notch. I didn't know about Ninjatoes' one (seems like we took a similar approach to some sections), it looks pretty good as well!

[dnalor]

yes the unreleased one looks like a great model....but i think many details are only painted on it..the same problem i had with the falcon.

Ninjatoes one looks great but i don't know his painting skills...
The paint can give the fighter a step to another level..or give it a toy-feeling.

And your art...well i worked a little with it and untill now its mind blowing..
So i think and hope that your magic will shine on the tie-fighter and give it the same quality as the x wing to the tie fighter.

And then i'm a lucky fan.

[scyeige]

I totally agree with you on imcold's work - they are amazing!!!!
I'm also waiting for his TIE Fighter...

I'll be all over this!

[dnalor]

At the moment i'm connecting all the cables...

and yes i made mistakes with the connection part...

But untill now all the leds work.
The engine burn and flicker..
the R2 i tested a few of his leds.

Only i have to change the program a little
because i don't connect some of the leds in serial.

example the engine i wanted to connect all the 4 leds in serial.
but i saw that the flicker leds didn't burn that much..
so i scaled that down to 2 leds in serial and that works perfect.

the same with the cockpit..
i wanted to put some LEDs together but now they are getting all there own connector on the ARDUINO
this way is als when i want i can change the light-program without any large problem.
