Star Wars Keonsayr H Wing Rebel Bomber almost done

Hey Rob,

 

Very cool. I have had the same thought more then once when looking at some of the odd German aircraft of WWII "that would make a cool looking spaceship". Good use of your parts box, like all those radiator fans and other engine parts. A comment on the other photos "Mini" monster truck, who would of thought, apparently you.

Thanks Keith. Your right, there are plenty of other Luftwaffe aircraft that can be updated to fit the Star Wars Universe.

Oh, by the way, the Mini Monster truck was done by my classmate Simon for the same assignment.

Thanks again, Rob

I would call it an Old Republic or even a Naboo bomber due to the heavy WW II aircraft and pulp sci-fi influence. Beautiful build! Can't wait to see it completed!

Great work!!!! Best use of a submarine model I've seen yet! Pretty neat concept too. I like how you pretty much assured it being taken as a Star Wars vehicle by the nacelle extention ala Y-wing. Leastwise for anyone who'd ever seen Star Wars. Very nice workmanship in the cockpit too. I like the seat treatment. Is it round styrene tubing cut and glued side by side?

That grey off road combat vehicle is pretty sweet too!

An excellent project indeed!  I think it fitting that the inspiration be WWII aircraft.  After all, it is in the spirit of the original Star Wars - what with Lucas being inspired by WWII dogfights... and how many battleship model kits were used to make the Death Star and other craft?  Hundreds at least!
