An X-Wing with wheeled undercarriage.

The model is awesome. But i can't agree with the wheels.

Seems blasphemous in the Star Wars universe. And it’s kinda weird to only have 2 in that position.

The nose wheel is there...it's just obscuring the left rear wheel at that angle.

Yeah...weird seeing wheels on these.  In the actual design there is a panel that opens on the ventral fuselage and inside is a joystick.  The joystick allows the ground technician to move the craft around via repulsorlift if necessary.  Wheels aren't needed.

In Rogue One we see one of these being towed...uh...somehow.  I guess they put wheels in the landing skids or something.

Could be they have the repulsorlift on low so they can move the craft.

Wow, some really intricate work on that one!

Indeed. I was inspired straight away.

I saw this one the other day, but wasn’t sure who the original poster was. It looks like a lot of simple little things done to smooth out that Queadluun Rau. It’s still my favorite of the classic Macross kits for its great design, especially for the time and pretty great articulation on top of that. And the builder did such a nice job lining things up.

Definitely pink, but they did a smooth job of one of the worst colors 

I thought so too. But also maybe a little heavy on the panel lines . Nevertheless, it's a great build.

I don’t even mind the panel lines. It kind of gives it a cool cartoony look

Wow. A plastic deodorant stick, repurposed as a space destroyer. I found this on Pinterest.

I’ve been seeing a lot this kinda thing lately, where they take a piece of absolute trash and turn it into amazing space ships and other types of vehicles. I guess it’s kinda good for the environment as a bonus

Pinterest has some cool stuff.

It’s got an odd mix of garbage and cool stuff made of garbage that you wouldn’t expect to see
