Lego Star Wars 7915 Imperial V-wing Starfighter Part 2

Here's a quick continuation.

Starting with

Front white and top black plates to give it form.

Rear of the starfighter also taking shape

Sticker pasting for more ommph!

And following up

A more impressive close up with the folded tail wing (to protect poor R2-Q2)

"Who dares open my hatch?"

Here is a close up of the interesting "V" wings

Duo lasers at the bottom

Looks like twin mini-jets capable of auto attacking enemy ships.

The final part coming soon!

Lego Star Wars 7915 Imperial V-wing Starfighter Part 1

Hmm...my third post for the day (or night, rather). Wonder what the shadow's all about?

In any case, I shall start on my recently completed V-wing before I post some of the other older stuff made. You can refer to the link below for more in-depth info about the V-wing starfighters in the Star Wars universe.

Shadows Abound

Something's coming......

@Vivo

Hmm, another lunch at Sakae Sushi so that the boys can have their "bubble rice"! Went over to the North Point branch and took a walk after that to Popular. The boys then went up to the fourth storey to play at the indoor playground while we took a rest.

Proceeded to Vivo City to take a look at Page One, but ended up at Secret Recipe to eat my favorite Banana Chocolate Cake (packeted home a few other cakes and goodies too!) Wanted to walk around a bit but was a bit late by then as we had to meetup with relatives for dinner.

Bottle Tree Restaurant was our destination and my limited stomach space managed to squeeze in a bit more rice, some dishes and three pieces of crab, including 2 pincers! The atmosphere here is really nice when you dine outdoor and there are many other things to be done here as well.

Ah well, work beckons soon.

Kim's Restaurant

Had lunch yesterday for the second time @Kim's Family Restaurant, an authentic Korean Restaurant located at Jalan Kilat, somewhere near Beauty World Center. Great food at reasonable prices and best of all, the 12 small side dishes (free and refillable!) you get to savour before the main dishes come in. No pics to show as I was too busy eating and forgot entirely about taking photos!

Took a walk at nearby Beauty World Center after that and discovered all the stuff you only see in the older shopping centers in Singapore. Lots of tuition and textile shop types over there and some of the shops certainly made me feel like I had travelled back in time.

To end the evening, I went berserk and rented six movies from MJ Multimedia at Causeway Point to catch over the next few days. Well, as of now, 2 down and 4 more to go......

Lego Amateur

Yup, I started my new hobby somewhere in April this year. Lego sets bought were for the boys to learn to build and play with and to move away from the Duplo sets. A few Harry Potter sets for my wife and the rest are mainly building and Star Wars theme sets for myself.

Just to showcase three small sets assembled late April. Will show the rest in time and as I continue to build up my collection.
