I just posted to the Brickshelf Gallery my minifig scale version of the well
known Star Wars T-65C X-Wing fighter. This design was heavily influenced by
the Ultimate Collector Series 7191.
It is a different challenge building details into minifig scale as opposed
to UCS scale, but all the major items are there: proton torpedo tube, proper
length laser, laser flashback suppresor and cooling sleeve, the "T" in front
of the engine to brace the retro-thrust nozzle, and the deflector shield
generator behind R2-D2.
This model even has one item that the 7191 doesn't have - retractable
landing gear. I posted to rec.toys.lego about the retractable gear
modification to the 7140 almost 20 months ago but never got pictures up - my
apologies to those who asked to see them so long ago.
Total piece count is 498 "elements". 444 for the X-Wing, and 54 for the
stand, plus 4 trimmed stickers from 6454. (I'm not a big sticker fan, but if
Lego could use stickers for 7191....) Pictures are at:

Please let me know what you think!

| (...) Great model! I saw the pictures on Brickshelf before you posted here - when I saw the thumbnails I thought it *was* the UCS X-wing. When I opened the pics and saw that it was minifig scale, my jaw just dropped. Excellent job! I look forward to (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)
