Not that the B-Wing doesn't deserve an update, but I personally never understood that ship design. The cockpit being all the way on the end is a cool concept but kind of ridiculous in practice, as is the whole ship rotating around it rather pointlessly. Also doesn't look like no B I ever seen. It'd be a perfect pairing, and a great way to release a character who'd otherwise likely never be redone.
It's SW where form beats function. The basic Tie fighter design doesn't make any sense either with it's huge solar panels.
Yeah but at least the cockpit is in the center where the pilot can reasonably deduce its corners. The B Wing's cockpit being all the way at the end and rotating makes no sense just looking at it. Why does it even rotate, besides disorienting the pilot?
It's the other way around. The cockpit doesn't move, the SHIP moves around the cockpit, so that the pilot stays in place/upright. Thus, he's super-comfy, with minimal G-forces or disorientation. It's just rarely depicted correctly in most media.
Welp on day 3 or 4 now? Maybe day 5? This is most definitely an ultimate build! I'm probably 6000 peices in and its starting to take a toll on my fingers haha. But I'm loving it. Just finished bag 14 of 17 on the Falcon and its looking more and more awesome!! Every time I finish a section and put it in place, I stand back and just admire how cool this thing is.
Awesome! I completed mine about 30 minutes ago. Funny how I went from hating this build to absolutely loving it. It is a pain to move around and fwoosh, but man the detail is amazing. I currently have it in the Force Awakens mode since I just finished it. Going to take more photos tomorrow of it since it is late and I want better lighting.
Over the last two days I got the Resistance Transport, AT-AT, some Harry Potter series 2 minifigures, Weasley house Didn't hit Target at opening though so I missed out on the 501st sets
Doubt you'll be disappointed, I have found all of 2020's Speed Champions releases to be fantastic builds with very satisfying results! All the best Maz
I probably should have read your entire question... I have not built it yet so not sure on the ship size ...but thinking it is about the same length/height.
NES TV is done. Experience my first lego where they gave me wrong bricks (instead of a 1x1 and a 1x2 flat, they gave me an L shape instead), but manage since there was a 1x1 space right where the 1x2 was suppose to go. This was part of the scrolling screen so I can’t have any piece hanging or the scrolling won’t work.
