4 pen lids
1 small pencil sharpener
4 2" brass fasteners
2 medium binder clips
2 large binder clips
1 defunct memory chip or similar
1 strip of staples (not pictured)
epoxy or hot glue (hot glue works a LOT better)
poster putty

Hi, I just joined since this looks like a fun site and I wanted to make and post my X-Wing attempt. What do you think?

[spookylean]

Awesome. Love the detail on the R2 unit.

[SN1P3RL0RD]

This is really cool.

[Mac1997]

brought it into school to show my friends and i got it confiscated and it was put in the bin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thecoolhobo]

how come were the teachers jealous or something?

[BGxNOCCout]

this inspired me to make a milenium falcon witch i will post on here soon

[Luueliza]

Here's mine, with a few mods... I started off using masking tape then ended up doing the whole thing! added a couple of large paperclips! :)

[spookylean]

Whoa! That's office supplies?? You have taken this to another level.

[Luueliza]

Yup! Only office supplies ^_^ the cabin window is the lid off an office scalpel :)

[GASSYPOOTS]

add a rubber eraser from a pencil for a R2

to quote re: removing & replacing the legs on the binder clip, Step 3:

"This takes a bit of force but it can be done!"

If you are building this stuff, don't you already have "the force" with you ...

sick bro! hehehe the comments before mine were 69...

[queesy]

Here is mine!

[airgunguy123]

this thing rocks!!!

[mak24]

instead of normal pen caps we can also add those LED pens with those blue LEDs on top, that way we can have really cool ion thruster and if placed beside your bed can add up as a really cool night light..

[NE patsrock]

look at my slingshot!!!

[Derek Vigil]

Epic

[Mainkai]

Now all we need is a tie fighter version... Maybe the ball from a defunct old-school mouse and some of the cardboard backs from post-it notes?

[thealeks]

dude theres an article(with a link) about this in Star Wars Insider magazine! congrats. also awesome 'ble!

[spiffy956]

could you use a small paperclip or two instead of an sd card?

[rathmiron]

i think anything squarish would do, maybe a piece of cardboard or something

[alex_meng]

that's really cool & easy! I like it and will do it like this!

[instruct39]

thats cool! i like the second pic on the intro page.

[dplemmons]

The eraser pulled from a standard #2 pencil could easily be an R2 unit.

[HOWITZER]

jejeje yes¡¡¡, to funny¡ . mini R2D2.

[kctrooper]

Thats actualy a great idea,all you would need to do is dip it in white out, then with a pen make blue markings

[bassclarinet23]

I think I'll use a white Lego stud.

[bassclarinet23]

This is great!

[brock_samson]

Here's Mine! R2 unit, Rebel Alliance coloring, clear cockpit windows and all!

"Star-Wars X-Wing"

[spookylean]

Wow! Great work. Better colours too.

[youwiththeface]

Um, do you know if there are any good replacements for the brass fasteners? I would love to know.

[jseals]

I used paperclips

[spookylean]

Hmm. Nails? toothpicks? Not so much office supplies, but hey.

[SHIFT!]

Awesome, all you need now is a R2 D2 eraser!

[youwiththeface]

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT R2-D2 ERASER???? OR BETTER YET, WHERE CAN I GET ONE????

[deansep]

Make around 10+ and hide them around your boss's office...

[youwiththeface]

Let's see. I need a chisel Sharpie, binder clips, a pencil sharpener, that Wii SD card, and maybe some brass fasteners. The hot glue, I already have.

[Gergohogbeido]

awesome

[microheroes]

wow cool!!!!!
