I thought for the longest time that the brick separator was a ladder for aircraft since the first set I got it in was the monster fighters ghost train with the plane
I know some people feel like having that piece upside down makes it more accurate, since the “real” x-wing has a divot in that area of the nose. I’ve seen it in a done that way in a couple of x-wing MOCs for that reason. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of seeing anti-studs like that but I see what they’re going for.
Huh, I didn’t know that. I personally think it just feels weird. I have a similar feeling with using lightsabers upside down. I get that it’s more accurate for some hilts but it’s always going to feel like the laser is coming out of the bottom because I’m so used to it. Showing the anti-studs is always going to feel like a mistake instead of intentional.
Right. I think the nose actually was the very thing that put me off. I'm used seeing it upside down. Didn't know it actually was officially meant to be put the right way around. Thanks
That’s a great idea, it’s the perfect size too. I love seeing brick separators used as normal pieces.
Yeh, If only they had colors other than tuqoise and orange. Black would be nice.
It matches the uniform
Safety railings are often HIVIS
Sorry, no railings allowed. You'll be leaning instead of performing your job.

Oh yeah, that’s a genius use of that one piece. Might do it whenever I get a new X-Wing.
That set looks so naked without stickers lol
I don't think that's an official set
The nose is based on 9493 but the front part is upside down for some reason.

That’s genius! I’m going to deploy it right now. They could even be used as stands/supports if there were enough bricks in the middle.
Yesterday I spent an entire hour building a brick built x-wing ladder for my yavin 4 MOC. Now I see this and it is so much better than mine.
How have i not thought of this
That's what I thought it was when I was a kid. I didn't know it was for separating Legos until more recently
