    thanks guys xD As for the StarWars Case mod idea, well I have other massive interests also and this way each interest has it's beauty :)
     
    As Holder of the World's Largest Descent /Freespace collector, I went for a Descent 2 / Freespace2 paint mod on one of my systems the Dual OpteronMP 850 CG from 2004 which I still use for games from that time and ones from today as well.
    You can see my main thread of the collection here @ Interplay:
    Gold Leader's Descent Freespace Collection Thread @ Interplay
     
    The Descent 2 art was done by myself back in 1996 just after the Launch of Descent2:

     
    Descent 2's Pyro-GX Art used for this paint mod:

     
    And the other Paint mod are of three famous ships from Freespace2 the Shevan Sevanah, a Versudan Dreadnaught Cruiser and a Terrain Herculess Mark II Starfighter, I did this mod just after Freespace2 was launched in 1999:

     
    But for the rest my PC's don't have paint mods as such in similar , they stand neutral amongst the rest of other things around here hehe.
     
    So here a video of the Starfighters and G.I's

    Hi all

    After some time while I was away in far away lands, France & Spain for like 5 weeks
    My il kept on going as usual, and when I came home last Thursday there were 5 lovely packages on my couch and one of them was the FreiTek E-Wing Escort Starfighter from Micro-Machines which I gloriously wopn on ebay during a massive ebay battle and hell yeah it was well worth it too, so here's my gallery of this ultra rare Starfighter, since not many good pics are to find of this fighter, I kinda took care of that my friends of EVGA!






    As for the Pilot I think he is Rogue Leader hence the light red markings on the Starfighter's wings and body parts, but since the pilot is green, I also thought about Green Leader, but then the squad markings on the ship won't match up so yeah if anyone could help me with this one as official pilot name and squad color he's from, that would be niice, thas for the astromech that is R7-P9 that is all I know, so then again which Pilot had this astromech?

    Here's a final shot of the FreiTek Inc. E-Wing Escort Starfighter compared to the Koensayr BTL-S3 Y-Wing Attack Bomber:


    As for the E-Wing in detail, this is a nice diagram of one explaining all the parts of the E-Wing it's self


    More info about the E-Wing, go here:

     Here's the battle I had to go through to complete this mission
    http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBa...PageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

    19 bids as you can see  
    http://offer.ebay.ie/ws/e...&item=370510000593

    I just made the one bid of 140 USD, since you never can tell with these rare wanna haves, even that 140 USD isn't much for an E-Wing of this quality, I was like, well let's see what happens and yeah I was very surprised that it did not even surpass the 100 USD mark heh

    Yeah the E-Wing is from the Expanded Universe, also seen in the Dark Empire series:
    http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Empire

     
    Here I made some new comparison shots with the X-Wing:




    And here two final shots


    As you can see they are very alike,as if the E-Wing is the Successor of the X-Wing, only iodd that Incom didn't work on the E-Wing, but Freitek Inc did, unless FreiTek Inc. took over Incom which is possible, same as Boeing took over McDonnel Douglas for example

    As for the yellow nose on my X-Wing and the Gun metal Laser gun tips, these are small customization I added to it, to give it more of a personal look, hereby I also made it look old by lightly painting them extra parts this makes it look as if this old T-65-A has some weathering added to it

    Gold Leader you put the "A" on Addiction dude
    That is a great collection you got there
    X-Wing Fighter FTW! pew, pew, pew!

    Those who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way.

    hey thanks man!
     
    Although I'd prefer the E-Wing over the X-Wing, since it has various heavy payload layouts 
    3x Heavy Ion Cannons
    Great for disabling and capturing large cruisers or dreadnaughts of any kind
     
    3x heavy Laser Cannons :)
    Great for doing some real damage on many certain targets or plain dog fighting 
     
    2x Heavy Laser cannons +1x heavy Ion Cannon
    This is ideal for dealing with both situations :)
     
    I'd go for the 2x heavy Laser cannons +1x heavy Ion Cannon layout, then you always have best of both worlds they can also carry 16 Advanced Proton Torpedo's or 8 Heavy Rockets as where the T-65's can only carry up to 8 Advanced Proton Torpedo's or 4 Heavy Rockets, but yer my favorite ship remains the Y-Wing xD The underdog of all ships
    Cool vid of a flyable Y-Wing, even that it flew headless

     
    as for the X-Wing? sure why not

     
    Don't you just love them Tie's

    I like that rail system you're using on the ceiling. Makes the whole collection look neat and tidy.

    Very nice collection you got there.

    Yeah many thanks mate, I really hope that Hasbro does a Z-95 Headhunter one day xD like the one seen in Season 05 of The Clone Wars

    I like that rail system you're using on the ceiling. Makes the whole collection look neat and tidy.

    Well that was my mum's idea, that are actually curtain rails, railings you use to hang up your curtains from :) And thanks to this idea I combined it with 25 pound Australian Fishing line I had laying around hah the ideal solution for them big models :) Since I keep my curtains closed in my room a lot, this also avoids the sun on getting in and creating weakness on the fishing line, they have been hanging there for almost 6 years now So far so good right xDDD

    How have I missed this thread?  Given how much I peruse the forum, the odds that I've missed it until now have to be.....oh right, "never tell me the odds."
     
    Great collection.  Can't say that I ever collected much other than a number of the larger lego builds.  One day, you'll have to do a stop animation of a planetary battle with your collection.  That would be really amazing.

    It is amazing , it's just a shame that you get used to it being up there, but sometimes I look up and awe for a moment, just hoping for a new and good X-Wing versus Tie-Fighter game, even that X-Wing Alliance was the last, my ultimate fav was X-Wing Versus Tie-Fighter Balance of Power, I played this for hours and hours and it never got boring even still play it today!
