Rook's Alphabet Wing Project

Well I've begun toying with the U-Wing. Things have been slow. The Mrs. is car pooling with me now and we've possibly picked a new 4 legged family member. So my bricks have been getting cold. Also have hiking trips coming up the next 3 weekends and a car wash fund raiser so I have no idea how long this will take to get done. Having a kid would be better then getting this pet because after about age 5 or 6 I'll be able to build with the kid.

She's pregnant with a dog!

Dog or Cat?

Or is it a horse or cow?


If a male Dog, remember to get his balls cut off, it really helped on mine.

Do I really need to say anymore?!

The U-Wing is challenging me! I decided to build my traditional: Frame, Plate, & Tile method. However usually I build square frames and then build curved plates and then tile. This time I did mainly triangular frames and now I'm trying to plate everything. So it might turn out to be crap but its a new building style for me which is always good for any builder. Got explore new ideas or you'll never get better.

Note: I had some camera errors today I’ll have some more pictures added to the gallery this afternoon.

I think the from the first camera angle it looks like an E-wing, very good nonetheless.

D-Wing is in the ship yards. I was inspired by some work that I saw on the M-Wing on Zet.com site. So with that as base idea I'm seeing how the CIS might counter to R-22 Spearhead, aka Grandpa to the A-Wing, with their own fighter, The D-Wing.

Not very exciting but her she is:

CIS D-Wing Fighter

Apart from the lime, it's good. Cool cockpit too, that's a good thing about droids not having sticky-out arms.

That's a great concept, I love it.

What should I build next?

H ...

Republic M-Wing

The M5 if is small transport craft designed for a pilot to drop off a squad of 4 for reconnaissance and special operations.

*Speechless*

Rook, that's amazing! You couldn't have built it any better than that. Outstanding job!!!

Excellent build! I love all the small play feature you have in all your mocs. There seems to be no wasted space in the interiors.

Someone ought to send this by TBB, if they don't see it on FBTB(if you post it there of course).

It's just THAT good!

Rook that is amazing. I'm speechless.

That's a very imposing MOC.

The self-imposed difficulty of staying within the constraints of the "alphabet project" emphasize your design accomplishment even more.

I totally dig all those extra features that you tend to integrate within your MOCs (the vehicles, the equipment stowed away within cleverly designed compartments).

Another worthy exemplar of your project.

OH man... Purdy.

I love all the angles and the use of the huge slopes and the gunship wing stickers.

I love it, the way you made the ship overlap, it's amazing.

Rook, when I think an "M" I think strong, bold lines. Something that will end up being bland and generally unexciting. But with this ship, you've smoothed out the lines, added flowing, rounded, and very futuristic elements to the shape. It really does look like a ship, and not just a floating letter. The compartments and other features are just icing on the cake.

It still doesn't beat that godly lander of yours, but it's a nice second .

The F-Wing has begun! After 2 failed frame designs, I finally found one that will work.

F-Wing is complete. I'm just finishing the 48x48 display base this weekend for the GBuild. I've given it Kashyyyk Trooper colors and its landing in a dry river bed. DEPLOY!

Seeing as after the F-Wing you'll basically only have the J-Wing left, you should make your own A-,B-,X- and Y-wing

I might but I'm going to switch over to building on a smaller scale to improve my building skills.
