I picked this set up last night. I was hoping to find the TIE fighter, but had to settle for this one. The set is not that great on it's own, but there are some very nice parts: 8x8 grey satellite dish 4 white 2x2 inverse slope convex corner bricks (...) (24 years ago, 19-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Very nice, Jay. I think you've made an A-Wing that follows the LEGO design in size, yet you've achieved a better shape and curve than the LEGO model. Good job! ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 19-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build)

(...) Yes, my Skipray is two person only. If I had built it to scale, it would have been rather large. The wing rotation works very well. It's reasonably solid. ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 19-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

Nice Skipray Mark. Is it two person only? And I'm curious as to how the back wings rotate, I saw that one pic showing the mechanics of it, but I'm curious how it works, and how fragile is it? Hopefully, I'll have one soon to compare to it, when I (...) (24 years ago, 19-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.general)
