t-65 x-wing (mark 2)

Continuing from the mark 1 x-wing, I started to work on the engine. Making the engine was a simple process. I used a polygon cylinder and extruded to the scale of the schematic. The outer rim of the propellers is extruded in to make room for the fan itself. I had to improvise the engine propellers as the schematics I used was only for the top and side of the x-wing. In order to make the it I had to use reference images of the ship.

 The propellers of the x-wing has a base to hold them in place, I used a sphere and then used an extruded polygon plane as the propeller itself.

 The wing is rather basic, I used another polygon cube and scaled it to the rectangular shape it is. I then added in a couple of edge loops, where the wing meets the engine and extruded it up in a slanted angle. This gives a smoother look where the wing meets the engine.

The guns are made the same way as the engine, using the schematics to create the shape of the gun. The tip of the gun uses another cube, which I added edge loops to and moved the vertices to give the curved shape it has.
To finish of the model, I grouped the objects together to make it easier to duplicate them to the desired location.

In the Mark 3 version of the x-wing, I will be adding in finer detail to the model.
