    BIG MASSIVE X-WING!

    So, some of you guys are waiting 2 years and £900 lighter for the Millennium Falcon...well I have just come back from a comic-con and have got a massive X-wing! Going to be distressed and may even have lights in it.











    Do idea where it is going to go

        I am hoping to fit 4 leds in the engine pods, two white in the wing roots, all leads going inside to a switch and 9V-well that's the plan. Thanks for the confidence Tony, just hope it works.

                  wow its almost as big as Tony,

                  will look forward to seeing what you get up to with this,so much ,you can do,

                  the LEG are a great idea first off,and so much room for weathering,

                    In fact, I think it maybe bigger than Tony

                    I have ordered 4 10 mm red leds for the engines and 4 3 mm bright white leds for the wing-roots, also some connectors and a plugin 9v pp3 holder that will screw fit to the body-not be pretty but functional-means I will not need to take the whole body apart to get at the battery. As for the weathering-going to be fun.

                      Yep, agree Tony, but that would make it even bigger lol.

                          maybe if you have some type of base to hold it with a rod into the body of it ,the base can hold the battery

                          what is at the end at the back of the body another engine ?

                          in the last pic were Tony,s hand is maybe you can make it as a pull off part to hold the battery,?
