Has anyone ever built any uglies? (the mixing of parts of different ships to make one as explained in Star Wars novels) If so do you have photos? I am considering trying my hand at it but I am curious if I am the first or not. (doubt that I am.

There used to be some really nice ones over on starship modellers website, but unfortunately, some bunghole crashed the site. They are out there though.

I remember one over at Starshipmodeler that was a shortened X-Wing with only two engines.
