| Bits for four X-wings cut out and scored with a craft knife... |
 |
| All folds and edges touched up with a grey felt pen so no white bits should show when finished. I found it best to do it at this stage rather than at the end - as sometimes the glue acts as a barrier to the ink... |
 |
| Starting to glue bits together... |
 |
| I made sure I got the wings the right way round this time! |
 |
| I use white PVA (or childrens gloopy craft/school glue) and a small paint brush to apply it. |
 |
| The wing pieces are all done... I applied a couple of coats of PVA glue to the thin pointy parts.. when the PVA is dry it gives them quite a bit of extra strength. |
 |
| The wings are on. Because of the shape of the bottom of the ships, I couldn't glue them directly to the stands, so I glued a couple of bits of thick card together, then cut out some small cubes and coloured them grey with the felt pen. |
 |
| Grey cardboard cubes glued to the bottoms of the X-Wings. |
 |
| Finished X-Wings on their stands. |

Next I'm going to attempt some more Ties... a Tie Bomber and a Tie Scout from http://www.momirfarooq.com/swstarfighter/index.htm
