New Project, Fixed Hinges

I'd like to thank those of you who supported my project!  Even though it doesn't look like It'll reach 10,000 supporters, I'm glad at least 38 people like it!  My second project, the Battle of Dathomir, is now live, and can be viewed here: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/104427  Please support and comment!

I've made a couple of adjustments to the project!  Earlier, I was concerned that the hinge piece that the folding wings are attached to was still free to move, but I've come up with a solution!  I used a vertical inverted tooth piece to hold it in place.  In the image below, I colored it red to make it easily visible, but it will be dark gray in the final model.  The wings themselves are still only attached by one clip.  It should be strong enough, but it wouldn't hurt to have two clips for extra support.  I can't find a way around this using existing pieces.  The best way to do this would be if LEGO created a new piece which was a 1x1 plate with vertical clips on either side.  If they ever do, I'll be sure to add it to the model!

Finally, Happy Birthday to me!
