The Stealth-X from the Star Wars expanded universe.
About this creation
Bored this week, so we decided to see if we could build something simple from the Star Wars expanded universe for under $30.00. The choice... well there really wasn't one.
The Stealth-X Piloted by Jaina Solo and her 'trusty' R9 Astrodroid Sneaker seemed perfect for the treatment. Based on the classic 7140 set we raided the black brick tray and set out make our own interpretation of it and this is what we ended up with. Hardly original, but the end result actually looks quite good... we personally like the engine modifications.
WOOKIEEPEDIA: The StealthX was a starfighter used by Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order that entered service sometime between the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War and the Killik-Chiss conflict.
The StealthX was described as being smaller than the XJ-series X-wing. It featured equipment that hid the craft both visually and tactically, though position was given away if proton torpedoes were used or if the pilot broadcasted over the comlink. The StealthX was used exclusively by Jedi, as the restrictions on comm usage made it nearly impossible for anyone other than a Jedi to coordinate with other forces.
A modification of the already formidable XJ3 X-wing starfighter, the StealthX had a star-flecked body of irregular, matte-black fiberplast that rendered it almost invisible against a background of stars. The third torpedo launcher had been replaced by a gravitic modulator designed to defeat mass-detectors, and its shields had been downgraded to make room for a suite of sensor negators. Even its fusial engines had been retooled to burn a special tibanna isotope, designated TibannaX, whose efflux turned dark a millisecond after fusion. The viewports utilized blast-tinting technology.

Overall form is accomplished very nicely. Accuracy is commendable, however, I think it could be a bit bigger and more detailed. Still, great job, one of the few Stealth Xs out there. |
