I Can't Un-See It...

By superdave, in X-Wing

...the starboard engine nacelle on the Gold Squadron Pilot image is so terribly misaligned. Ever since I noticed it, it's all I can see on the card.

That is all.

Maybe it needs a fix?

:)

Yeah it is waaaaay weird looking. I noticed it when I was drawing y-wings one time, when I was looking for references and I just cringed at it and I can't not notice it now.

Why did I seek out the image?

I could have just gone on about my life, forgotten this post, and carried on blissfully ignorant.

No... no, I chose a different path...

Been bothering me since I first opened the Y-wing pack. It kinda colored my view of FFG's artist ever since.

So the Ghost crew cards didn't surprise me. Ugh.

The Dark Side leads to suffering...

Amusingly, my first Y-Wing's starboard engine was pretty badly aligned as well. Not as bad as that, but it still required taking off and gluing back in place...

To help wash that image out of your head. Marvel at the Rebel Phoenix hidden in the Sabine pilot card.

(Is the actual y-wing card that jacked up? Not at home and wondering if this is internet shenanigans...)

Oh, it's jacked alright.

Jacked like Jack Jackson from Jacksonville.

This would explain the lack luster dial, think about all the green maneuvers we might have if the engine was attached correctly!

Simple, you use the alternate art card, done, fixed. Issue adverted.

My Stresshog only uses the alt card. I highly recommend it.

Thanks! I had heard, but never really looked, now you have ruined that card! Need to get promo copies now. Thanks a whole pant load superdave! (jk)

I hadn't noticed it for a long time, then someone mentioned it in another thread and I had to check it out right away.

Fortunately I have lots of Gold Squadron promos, so I don't have to see it

Speaking of things you can't unsee, check out the giant cartoony teeth on Fel's Wrath's cockpit window.

You're welcome.

Umm... it's in your avatar picture. :P

Ugh, whyyy. Don't share painful nonsense like that!

I'm not looking......

Don't look!

That is all.

Not just misaligned, but it also appears to be nearly double the length it should be.

Here's one from a similar angle to show what it should look like.

oh.. and spoilers I suppose :D

No mistake: The engine section slides forward for parking in 'compact' spots at the mall. This one is just stuck. :)

Oh dear. That is just evil of you to share that!
