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 Quote

Thom Posted February 5 Posted February 5 That is very cool! The one drawback is that the driver is very exposed. Quote
tekering Posted February 5 Posted February 5 That VF1 may not have won the race, but it definitely won the modeling contest! 🏆 Quote
tekering Posted February 8 Posted February 8 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. 13 hours ago, derex3592 said: 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. Edited February 8 by shazam Quote
tekering Posted February 12 Posted February 12 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! 😲 Quote
