The Star Wars Alphabet Fighter Project —Jon Palmer
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 (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build, lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars) !!

	Re: The Star Wars Alphabet Fighter Project —Mladen Pejic
	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 (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

	Re: The Star Wars Alphabet Fighter Project —Adrian Drake
	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 (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

		Re: The Star Wars Alphabet Fighter Project —Jon Palmer
		"Adrian Drake" <tremor@apk.net> wrote in message news:Gr82nn.K6E@lugnet.com... (...) Thanks Adrian. That is light blue (or medium blue) on the D-wing. The parts came from a few copies of 4579 and one 7310. That cutout notch is mostly there because I (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

	Re: The Star Wars Alphabet Fighter Project —Seth McCarus
	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. (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

	RE: The Star Wars Alphabet Fighter Project —Bram Lambrecht
	(...) still a great shape. What do you mean, the canopy dissolves? Do they have to replace it every time the fighter goes out? The entry mechanism and engines on the D wing are excellent too. The wing could use a little more length/depth perhaps to (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

			Re: The Star Wars Alphabet Fighter Project —Adrian Drake
			(...) That makes plenty of sense. Think about the River scene with the Gungan Sub just when it arrives at the capital city. The canopies on it simply dissolve to allow the jedi and Jar Jar to get out. And it does look a little like a star wars ship (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

	Re: The Star Wars Alphabet Fighter Project —Gary Thomas
	(...) Very nice, and very original. You should have entered the ISCC SW category. What on earth is the G-Wing canopy from? I'd love to get that piece. Later, Gary (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

		Re: The Star Wars Alphabet Fighter Project —Jonathan Wilson

		Re: The Star Wars Alphabet Fighter Project —Lindsay Frederick Braun

Jon, I concede that not only was my guess for its use wrong, but that you've used it much more effectively than I had expected even of you. Wow! (Also: Does the interior rotate?) best (...)

	Praise for Jon —Paul Hartzog
	<sigh>Jon, the more i peruse your stuff the more i like it. 1) you always have interesting greeblies (bison) 2) you always have interesting functional moving bits (d/g-wing) 3) you always have unique ideas (space monk, alphabet, etc.) 4) you always (...)

	Re: The Star Wars Alphabet Fighter Project —Alexander Zwagerman
	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 (...) (23 years ago, 9-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

	Re: The Star Wars Alphabet Fighter Project —Franklin W. Cain
	Very cool idea! :-) Interesting cockpit idea ("(URL) came up with a similar cockpit idea ("(URL) overall, I think yours is the far better model. I really want to know where you found those light-blue barrels, though! Franklin (23 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

		(...) They're in <set:4579 Ice Ramp Racers>, I've heard. I was waiting for those to go to 75% to buy one and see for myself if it was as useful as everyone was saying, but by the time I got to Wal-Mart they were all gone. I hope that someone does (...)
