It took me a long time to invent the design for this figure. The hardest part was finding a starting base which would allow me to create the fuselage, wings, and main guns with the right proportions and still include the 4 smaller wings. I borrowed a base from another artist, David Brill, and came up with 2 designs which differed from each other by only a few steps at the end of the folding process. The first design was slightly closer to the overall proportions of the ARC 170. The Second had a slightly cleaner design. Personally, I preferred the first version but all the friends and family I polled unanimously voted for the second. Therefore the official version is the second design and I'm no longer speaking with any of them.
