Hi,

Here is my attempt at a larger-scale version of the X-Wing.  I built this last
summer using parts mostly from 8480 Space Shuttle and 6982 Explorien
Starship.  The wings can open and close, and are held open by technic axles.
My "stand" is embarassing compared to the real UCS stands.  :)

Here's the URL:

The last picture shows the axles in use, which form an X in order to keep the
wings open.  They are under stress, so normally I store my model pointing
upwards.

Comments are welcome!  I can take additional pictures if necessary.

Bryan
