Muffin Head, believe it or not, if you consider 1 stud = 1 ft as minifig
scale, then this is minifig scale (the 'official' length of 9.6 m would
become 31.5 studs, or 32 as he's done here). Yeah, I know Mark, you eyeball
what you think looks good; I myself used to scale it off official
measurements as much as I could, but found certain ships looked wrong
'officially' scaled (e.g. BattleStar Galactica Viper is officially 9m
long... but it doesn't LOOK shorter than an A-Wing!? And the official length
of a Snow Speeder is 5.3 m, just over half the length of the A-Wing ... but
to me, it looks like it should be about the size of an A-Wing! Yeah, I gave up)
Opening panels would be nice... I think it looks a little 'clean'; so maybe
just some tan/grey pieces thrown in for weathering? Just a suggestion. But I
love the shape (really well done, Bruce!) and the clever use of pieces to
achieve the correct base colour scheme!
I think this and Joe Bergman's (also scaled 1 stud to 1 ft)

are the 2 best A-Wings I've seen.

| (...) I do this mainly because of the fact that minifigs have no scale. If you consider 1 stud = 1 foot, then your minifigs are only about 5 feet tall, which is well under average height for a human. But if you decide that a minifig is 6 feet tall, (...)
