Brothers Brick say this is the best Lego X-Wing yet and I agree. Made by Mike Psiaki’s, it’s amazing that he has been able to reproduce the Rebel’s top star fighter with such exquisite detail, even topping Lego’s official models.
It seems deceptively simple, but this was obviously extremely hard to make. The techniques used to create the exact volumes at such small scale are just beautiful. And the landing gear actually retracts!
In fact, I wish Lego got Mike’s design into a real model for sale. I would buy a whole squadron in a heartbeat.
