How long will it take for someone to mod the Fang Fighter?

By sf1raptor, in X-Wing

I've done both of mine now. Here's the evidence for the first one, not gonna bother photographing the other til it's painted.

Someone already did yesterday. I saw a picture of it in a FB group.

Those look amazing! I wish I had the skill and confidence to do the same.

That... is really badass. I'm jealous.

Well I got this far. Need to reinforce the center-to-wing attachment (somehow) before proceeding. Or make a thicker version of that part.

Woah that's some nice cutting you've done.

Honestly I just wanted to try a new saw :D the Aussie way is better.

I had to add a layer of green stuff on the central bit to make the joints feel more solid.

If I get a second Fang fighter I'm following this and cutting the wings off first. The cuts would be much cleaner: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.1131906930227497&type=1

Also I mutilated a Scyk but who cares about that?

Ooh.

The second set of (scyk?) wings adds a lot to this.

They are indeed scyk wings bottom side up. Just snapped them off and filed at 45°.

Because since Defenders came back, and we now got Arcs you can never have enough wings.

That is sweet!

:D

Can anyone recommend colors for touching up the Fang paintjob after the mod, that are as close as possible to the regular paintjob?
