And here's a droid that needs no introductions.
I really liked the concept of promo set 30611, but the execution was less then perfect - R2 was too bulky, not really round. So I've created my own version!

If you'd like to build it, instructions are available on my Rebrickable page:

Moldy Crow, a modified HWK-290 courier ship flown by Jan Ors and Kyle Katarn in "Star Wars: Dark Forces" game series. One of my favourite SW ships (though I haven't really played Dark Forces. But I've used to fly it a lot in X-wing tabletop game).

I've tried to make it as accurate as possible, but had to make some compromises, the most visible one being colour. Even though light bluish gray isn't closest to the source material, it has so many more pieces available then Dark Tan, which would be my preferred choice.

A few random facts:
- The model is in more or less minifig scale (I've scaled assuming height of minifig to be ~1,8m).
- There's only space for one crew member inside the cockpit.
- Landing struts fit inside ship\'s body when in flight.
- I've used X-wing tabletop game model as a reference. As far as I know, it\'s the only official physical model of the ship.
- Stand I've used is based on Jerac's, who was kind enough to let me use it. Thanks!

In the old Star Wars canon, aka Legends, the E-wing starfighter was an advanced fighter developed by the New Republic as the successor to T-65 X-wing - the same role that T-70 X-wing plays in the new canon.

This MOC is an alternative build (model B, if you wish) of the set 75301 - Luke Skywalker's X-Wing Fighter.

Instructions available at my Rebrickable profile - the model uses no additional parts! -

Jawa scrap dealers on a Bantha-II cargo skiff, aka desert skiff (from Star Wars, obviously). Inspired by graphic by Mark Molnar.

I had a lot of fun with this build - I've finished it in one day, something which seldom happens nowadays. I've tried to make it recognizable and accurate to the reference materials, but at the same time durable and swooshable.

Mandalorian Basilisk War Droid, based on designs from Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic - a design I've always liked as something a bit more exotic in the Star Wars universe.

I took some liberties with the source material, most notably made the wings much longer and gave the rider a lance - not a traditional weapon of a Mandalorian warrior. I wanted to make them look a bit like a winged hussar. But since each Basilisk was uniquely customized by its rider, I don't think my alterations contradict the lore.
