Directions for Wings:

  1. The wings are made from one 2’ x 4′ panel, Measure 15″ from top of one side and 15″ from bottom of one side.

  2. Intersect the points and cut along that line.

  3. At ends of each wing piece glue and attach 41″ x 2″ dowels vertically to ends. (similar to X-wing guns) these will also be bar top supports.

  4. Attach wings to main body.

  5. Using right angle “L” brackets, attach wings to side of main body.

  6. Mount top to base,

  7. Paint all with “Star Wars” feel.
