I was very impressed with the TIEs when I saw the post the other day (and I
*really* liked the microscale sandcrawler), but I didn't see the X-Wing
because I didn't browse back out to the rest of your brickshelf pics. The
X-Wing is very nice as well.
It looks like that's not a 4x9 wing piece- the underside structure would
collide with the studs on the top of the hinge pieces on the sides at the
front end. (You like that sentence? It makes sense-- no, really!) It
looks like 1x8 tiles making up the upper surface of the tapered area.

| Thank you very much for your kind words! Both of you were right by the way: I used a 4x9 tapered wingplate for the lowerside of the nose(so no holes remain on the bottom of the nose) and I used 1x8 tiles on topof the tapered nose to get the nose (...)
