Evening Chaps,

This one was a cobbled together build done as a leaving gift for my Boss last year. He is a huge Star Wars fan so I knocked this up using one of the Bandai 1/144 X-Wings I had spare from a previous project. The base was the guts of an old BT router and a selection of decals from the spares box. He was chuffed to bits.

The in-flight pictures have the acrylic rod edited out.

Hope you like it.

Andy
