After long pause I am working again on this one. Feels good . Working on last two engines, so I will not post all the same photos again .

GREAT!!!
I am glad to see that you are returning to this project again!
I am looking forward to seeing this come to fruition and see how this will turn out.
Thank you very much Rhaven,
this model WILL be finished for sure and I hope it will be done before UHU02 finishes Falcon Cockpit, so I can jump right to that.
X-wing is my primary build since I started it and I will not start another build before it is finished. So I never realy abandon it or stop working at it completly. Lastly I just got sidetracked by X-wing pilot (I want him to stand on X-wing stand).
It was first try, completly from paper. To stiff looking for my liking. Now working on another version, much better (not 100% paper). You will see.
Enthusiasm and motivation to make paper models are like sinus wave for me. When at low point I do not build physicaly, because I have no joy from it. At that time I work on it in computer - designing addons, research reference or gathering best models and reference for my future Star Wars projects (tie-fighter, y-wing, falcon, snowspeeder, at-st). But it is only matter of time when sinus wave gets to its hign point. Nothing pressures me, no deadlines to fulfill.

.Haleluja, all four engines are done.
Does not seem like a lot of work on this picture

I know exactly what you mean!!!!!
But this is a huge detailing work and the result is fantastic!
:Bravo:
Thank you all .
I needed to come up with final version of stand, bacause I need to reinforce fuselage fot it before attaching the wings. So here it is (CG visualisation):

Another part done.
I Added little detail to joystik,
added targeting computer and back canopy,
and finally completed front canopy and mount it on fuselage.
It was not easy for me. I try to dry fit parts million times and made adjustments. It required to modify fuselage around cockpit to fit nicely, because I did not dry fitted canopy when making fuselage (beginners mistake, lesson learned). It is not perfect. It was not possible to correct completely without massive fuselage makeover but I did what I can

Bigptr, I uploaded your pictures directly to the forum. Please do so from now on (hopefully, it won't breakdown again!) but this ensures the thread always has pictures. (Fantastic work, you know those engines will burn up when you start them, they are paper, aren't they, or are they some secret ceramic? ")

That cockpit is INCREDIBLE!
W-O-W!! 
Love the detail.:Bravo:Claphandsrinks::King:thumbsupOne of those "I can't believe that it's paper" moments.
Thanks for sharing!

The amount of detail that you have put (and are putting) into this model is ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWING!!!
I am really looking forward to seeing how this will turn out!

Thanky you for that Zathros, you could just point it at me and I would do it myself. I uploaded images until forum problems. Since it was only posibility to post image links so I did it again automaticly without thinking. Forum is healty again now.

Oh. My. God! Just... WOW.
Master modeller is definitely a very well deserved accolade.
Respect.

I am working on canons. I retextured them to match the original. The end is comming closer. I hope I will finish whole model during winter
