The idea here is that the original m-wing scout ship was pulled out of
storage a hundred years later and turned into a fighter.

Check it out! :-)

(...) Whaddya know, you CAN make a great thing better! I like the 3 sided engines! I guess from a font POV, the original M-wing would be 'condensed' OR the new one would be 'extended', hmm...eXtended--is that where you got m'X'l from? Cool (...) (22 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.starwars)

Jon, I'm delighted to see how you keep improving your ships. This one definately stands out. I like the size of the engines compared to the body, the shape and how they are attached, up front. It gives the fighter an interesting top view. Just (...) (22 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Glad I went to FBTB first this morning! Wowza yowza! Jon, that ship is a beauty! As said, in both forums, you made a great ship even more superb! Those engines fit so well with the overall aesthetic of the "aged" M-Wing. ;-D From the front it (...) (22 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.starwars)

Jon, I can always count on you to make make my jealousy meter spike into the red. Your monthly brick budget must be impressive (all those gray split-slopes!). Not only is the design uber-cool, but you managed to use Bionicle parts and make them not (...) (22 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.starwars)

  Re: MXL Advanced Fighter
 
Very nice! However, did the MXL fall vicitm to the same issue of the CSS Virginia/Merrimack? i.e. does the MXL still use that special hyperdrive good for two jumps and that's it? (for you history buffs, the ironclad Merrimack was built on the hull (...) (22 years ago, 15-Apr-03, to lugnet.starwars)
