Lego Star Wars A-Wing 3D model

Prior to working at Carbon Revolution, I maintained many projects for fun to keep my Solidworks Modelling skills sharp. This is one of them.

Due to the popularity of LEGO, there ARE dedicated modelling softwares, with full libraries of parts, and connective functionality. As a personal challenge, I decided to forgo the software and model an entire LEGO set from scratch in Solidworks. I did this by picking up a pair of callipers and modelling the parts piece by piece. By the end, I became so familiar with the LEGO system that I could look at a new part and not have to measure it before I modelled it. All following images are either rendered in Keyshot, or in-engine screenshots of the Solidworks Viewport.
