Well I think elements of the Snowspeeders were excellent - one had a
rear-cockpit and a proper metal harpoon.

Well the TIE Wings looked better but you are right they are BabySpace. I think
the blue should be taken off the TIE.
The Y-Wing prototype engine's look better because they are the correct angle.
It also shows they made many custom pieces they never used such as the
Snowspeeder lasers, the long cockpit shield, the black window and a 2x2 tile
with one stud and extra printing on shows on many of the prototypes.
The scans are online now - check lugnet.announce and lugnet.starwars.
