I thought since Lego is making mini scale ships from the Star Wars movies,
why not make some mini scale Star Wars ships from Jon Palmers Alphabet
Project. I did only four ships and you'll have to forgive me for 2 things:

1. The color scheme isn't dead on.
2. The scale is a tad off.

The F-Wing isn't the best looking. I'm sure it can be rebuilt a little
better. The M-wing was the most annoying on to build. Originally I wanted it
smaller, but nothing worked quite right. So I had to scale it it up a bit.

Thanks to Gil Shaw for feed back on these while I was buiding them.

Hope you enjoy. LMKWYT.

(...) The f-wing IS dead on. The m-wing I think is a little off. But they are All great looking mini alphabet fighters. I'd buy those mini's as much as lego's. -Semaj (URL) (21 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

Those are great Jamie! I too like the G-wing the best. It's my favorite of the minifig scale. suggestion: try a gray 1 x 1 tile inverted and wedge it perpendicular between the studs under the clear dome. It has a good likeness to the pilot (...)
