Thanks! You’re right, those guns can be kind of conspicuous. I tried to mount
them like cannons are mounted on real fighters: internally, with only the end of
the barrel, if anything, protruding from the body.

Since these are space vehicles, they are absolutely welcome in .space. Feel
free to post more of your work there; I look forward to seeing it.
Peace and palettes, Professor Whateverly

Thanks again. Here is yet another alternate model from the same set. An attack
helicopter, the so-called “Pave Constant.” (So I’m also posting this in the
military group... but there is Star Wars and space stuff in the photos and
“storyline.” Oh well.)
So again, this chopper is part of a series of models made from a single Star
Wars B-Wing. An impromptu hybrid of sets 7651 and 8270 as well as my favorite
Blacktron minifig also make cameo appearances in the absolutely accurate photo
reenactment of the helicopter’s construction.

Hope you like it! (And I hope that the Imperial goon is not dispatched too
gratuitously - please let me know if so - but hey, we’re talking about a
Blacktron dude here! He has fists of steel, and a correspondingly pragmatic
perspective towards social confrontation.)
Be well,
Jim
