Out of curiosity, where did you go for stats and measurements? I think I got
mine off the Essential Guide to Vehicles & Vessels, as well as blueprints
for the Hoth base, wherein hanger 'cells' were carved especially to fit
X-wings...
Coincidentally, I was amazed to find a picture in the Art Of Star Wars that
was almost *perfectly* in minifig scale once I had the initial measurements.
(Based on about 7mm = 1 minifig foot) IIRC each wing on my design was 1 stud
wider than Mark's, but I forget how many studs long mine was...

Yeah, that was one of the things that intreuged me about your model-- I
barely had room for a forward landing gear in mine (I left out the proton
torpedos, though I put black plates on the side from where they shoot from
to indicate the holes... oh well)

Snowspeeders are *tough*. They're actually about as wide as a *WING* of the
X-wing. I think I got that they "should" be about 12 studs long and 11 studs
wide... (I think you could go as wide as 14x13 and not be horribly out of
scale-- makes your average minifig about 5' tall instead of 6'). The version
I did at 12x11 could fit a single minifig with no arms :(
