Instructables has yet again shown its viewers how to create something from office supplies. Inspired by the 'Build the Starship Enterprise from useless office supplies' Instructables post, the X-Wing Fighter is very simialr.
Using a Sharpie, four pen lids, butterfly clips, a pencil sharpener, strip of staples, glue, medium and large binder clips as well as a memory card, the creator can easily kill some time at work by constructing this super cool sci-fi fighter.
Coworkers and peers will be jealous of your easily constructed X-Wing Fighter jet that even Luke Skywalker would want to ride in. Instructables has yet again managed to offer a simple DIY project and provide an absolutely perfect way for you to demonstrate your immense appreciation for the Star Wars franchise.
