 | | The Star Wars Alphabet Fighter Project

I decided to make a fighter for every unused letter in the alphabet. A total of 18 fighters. In addition to the 4 fighters (x,y,a,b) in the movies, I'm not going to build e,k,t or v. These appear here and there throughout the SW books, comics and (...) (22 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build, lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars) !!

Jon... This is such an awesome idea! Woah! All the ships have unique and cool designs and features too! The F-wing... Wow, the G-wing... stunning..., D-wing... yummy seat! I can go on, but you get the picture! ;-D And there's still 14 fighters to (...) (22 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

That's a great concept! I like what you've done so far quite a bit. The D-wing has a pretty innovative shape (and is that light blue highlights on it?). I love the greeblie sections on the F-wing, especially that cutout notch on the nose of the (...) (22 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

That's a really ambitious project, but you seem eminently up for it. I love the idea of the C-wing hanging like a bat and dropping into flight from a rack. And I see you've already made good use of your Duplo eggs! Very cool ships. Seth. (...) (22 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

WOW Jon! Those fighters are truly great. I love the canopy on the G-fighter and dissolving it makes pretty good sense (I tried a hinge on a Duplo egg and it just didn't work). But the way the pilot gets into his D-fighter is truly amazing. I had to (...) (22 years ago, 9-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)
