this is the Hylidea, its an ALT model for 8100 Cyclone Defender witch is an exo-force set that retails for £5.00 or $8.00. this is slightly better than vesion 1 with the clips removed from the feet, the legs set 1 stud forward, a less busy back section, slight change to the screen and a bigger 3 rocket launcher

(Ok, this is the first proper Blog) X-wing Stubby

not sure if you know, but last month Paul (ThePlasticJedi) held an X-wing Evolution contest over at FBTB.



Mission Briefing

It's no secret that our new enemy is far more evolved than the Imperials were, and that our squadron of fighters are getting a bit outdated. It is your mission, as our engineer, to build a replica to the scale of a LEGO minifig of your own evolution of the X-wing. We don't want it to look exactly like the X-wing, just share a couple distinct characteristics. We want this new fighter to have an entirely new personality (New overall shape). Now, there are several downfalls of the X-wing, speed, agility, stealth and firepower are all issues that should be addressed. However, I do not require you to fix all of these problems, we're looking for a better balance of each. Also keep in mind that this is supposed to be a medium sized fighter. It can't be so large that it hinders the speed and can't be so small that it hinders the amount of rockets you are able to carry. I do not want to hear things, I want to have visual evidence that it has been improved, be sure to describe the improvements when you submit your model. No shortcuts are to be made during this build, so only actual, unaltered LEGO bricks may be used. I do not want to see one of your old models again, this should be a new model AND a new idea, built and designed specifically for this project.
