Love the stock build. The paint is beautiful, but don’t care for the cannon plopped on the shoulder. Feels out of place. 

I get what you’re saying. It would he kinda getting in the way of the missiles on the inside. Should probably had some kinda support made to look a little more plausible. But other than that, it looks pretty great

That’s really creative. I like the way different parts were used so perfectly. And a great use of decals

3D-printing allows you to manipulate digital models at a level of detail impossible to achieve by hand, and upscaling presents the opportunity to achieve accuracy far beyond what commercial toys or models are capable of.  The potential is limitless.

That X-Wing is INSANE.

It's insane he upscaled such an inaccurate, low-resolution model, when there are so many better options available.  He didn't even bother to replace the astromech! 🤨

At 1:6th scale, R2-D2 should be a thing of beauty, not an abomination like that. 🫣

And don't even get me started on that cockpit... 😧

What a bizarre waste of time and resources.

R2-D2 looks like a cake decoration in that image. He probably never considered every area of the model should of been broken down into individual sections and meticulously crafted as though it needed close up screen time. All the props to that guy putting in the effort in buildings the X-wing with his own thoughts in mind.

Incidentally, here's a decent 1:6 X-Wing:

It's not perfect, either, but it sports a much better paint job, accommodates a pilot figure, and it's totally scratchbuilt -- no 3D-printed parts at all! 😲

Very nice! Though the pilot must be more reclined to sit in the cockpit, it seems.
