R-22 Spearhead WIP V6 update!

Almost done, point out your niggles and I'll try to fix them...



Wings are finally all done, I've added the guns and modified the engines



This is the 846543267th version of the upper wing. Anyone who dislikes it had better have a very good reason. It uses several hinges, most covered, to achieve the shape.



__________

Engines redone to actually fit to scale. Nose is on too.



__________

Are these engines big enough?



__________

OK, so it doesn't look much like it yet, but this will be an R-22 Spearhead soon. The nose will be 5-wide, to facilitate the gap, and I'm trying to make it as accurate as possible.
Comments welcomed...

Looks cool so far. Can I have a reference pic?

Better than that, you can have a Wookieepedia link! Shouldn't the canopy be the other way around, though?

Why don't you make it in real bricks?

Because he's at university and doesn't have access to bricks, as he's said in multiple threads already.

Never saw it...

Five words per post, Pineapple.

Anyway, Jake, what's this epiphany about the R-22 you mentioned on IM?

Putting (four, five) behind it is dumb and not allowed.

So maybe you should have made your post a little more constructive, hmm? That's why the rule's there, after all.

Now now you two...

Quick update, engines are attatched...

Looks awesome with the engines, although the bits connecting them to the fuselage are a bit plain. Can't be helped, I guess, and they'll be blocked from view by the fins and wings eventualy.

Is J4ke and I the only one's who use LDD?

Probably a little too big if anything.

What's the difference between this Spearhead and an A-wing??

Besides the reversed cockpit and some slightly different guns they are practically the same!!

And on your MOC Jake, I think Rook was right saying the engines are a little big....

Technically, the different cockpit is actually only different from the RZ-1 in the 2-seat variant of the R-22...

BUMP! Updated!

Much better!!!

I really like the design of the engines!

I can't wait to see the end result!

Very cool! Posted a note on Flickr with a tip.

great! It's really taking on the duckbill shape the A-Wing held so strongly!

The nose looks great, but the new engines seem to not fit as well anymore. They seem a little small.

Thanks all, there's a new version up now. Rev, the engines are now properly sized, the version before was too big...

Nice new update! Looks like its taking shape!

Much much better Jake! The shape looks accurate!
Can't wait for the finished product!

Another update! First page! Enjoy!

You've got the best chance, the building mechancis are really great in this! I'm sad to not see it alive, but you'll probaly still get my vote!
