[Gans]

Love the colour of the resin
I am waiting on a V3 from Apietro, but I may have to buy one of these as well.
Looks really nice so far

Make sure when you really bring this thing to market, you post it in the "Junkyard" so we can find it conveniently buried 6 pages back with 20 minutes of posting. Better yet, keep it here.

Just registered to keep informed when this X-Wing is available.

Hope to purchase one soon.

Hi there...
First of all I want to thank everyone for the patience you've had waiting for us. We are almost there, at the end of this beautiful project.
We've tested our first three aluminium armatures in two semi assembled models, we've tested the molds, the urethane resin we are using and casting methods and I am happy to say that everything is working great.
The resin copies are very strong and easy to sand. Cyanoacrylate glue works incredibly well, pasting resin with resin really strong. We used the Great Planes Cyanoacrylate and works fast and hard.
We have to make some extra molds now for faster production, like more wings, canons and stuff like that and, yes I still haven't sculpted the pilot.

So, images speak better than words so here are the pics of the two first X-Wings we've assembled to test our model:
