MOC: The X-Wing as seen by Rusty

It is one of the machines that has been the subject of countless MOCs over the years and its status as a symbol of the Star Wars universe is undoubtedly for something ...

This time it's Rusty, inspired by Marshall Banana's MOC which we had been able to admire the dewback a few months ago, which sticks to it.

His X-Wing is successful, the cockpit is original and Rusty did not choose the easy way by avoiding the classic LEGO part usually devoted to this use. The nose of the machine is a bit thin for my taste (or the cheese slopes do this to me ...) but fits well into the whole. The rear is particularly successful and the engines are of a simplicity which does not affect the final rendering, very coherent.

The presentation support, although bulky, is ingenious, it does not distort the overall presentation of the vessel and is an integral part of the MOC.

Other views, including a close-up of the cockpit, are available at the flickr gallery de Rusty (aka magikstef).

One remark, however, intended for all talented MOCeurs: Don't neglect the staging of your photos. A checkered tablecloth, poor lighting, or a blurry photo can mess up your work and a lot of fans will miss out on your MOC because the shots or presentation don't measure up.
No need to start designing a photo studio if you don't want to or can't afford it: A simple white sheet and daylight will be enough to showcase your work for the enjoyment of the whole community.
