Sorry folks it's not a Transformer!
PROLOGUE
LEGO set 31161: Medieval Dragon contains many, many wedge plates that is suitable to build winged planes and spaceships. I've made quite a few Transformers using the said set , and some took me weeks to perfect them. The previous one turned into a Star Wars Mandalorian starfighter (video below)
Judging from the views so far, my efforts was in vain!! Seemed like not many people preferred Star Wars Transformers crossover.
One fine day I thought... I could easily spend less time building a purely Star Wars vehicle using LEGO sets (not just set above). So this set the ball rolling.....
ABOUT THIS CREATION
X-wing is arguably one of the most iconic vehicle from Star Wars movie series especially. AndsSet 31161 has the perfect number of parts in multiple of fours to build the X shaped wings
formation for this vehicle.
PARKED
A "R2D2" fits into the co-pilot hatch. The classic headlamp brick implemented into the craft helps to secure this droid in the hatch. This simple mecchanism took me many hours to figure out!

FINAL WORDS
And this heralds my first of many,many Star Wars alternate builts to come in the coming months, especially using set 31161. In the meantime, click here to see a list of my custom LEGO Star Wars creations.
