[MOC] Y-Wing construction

[Ron Dayes]

Hi folks,

currently my Y-Wing is being "build"

This is also my first post in the Star Wars Theme here on EB - (after a long time of only making cars and town related stuff)

Still trying to figure out the cockpit and getting firm connections so it wont fall apart

Hope you like it, feedback/criticism is always welcome :)

Great job! I love the way the cockpit slopes inward near the front. That's a lot better than LEGO's official design.

Looking amazing! That's a unique way of doing the cockpit but it works. If only you could fit a Minifig in there... Good shape and angles!

Thanks man! Im really trying my best to recreate the real model as good as possible. The TLG versions all look somewhat different so i decided making my own now ;)

Thanks Ellisss! It will eventually fit a minifig, since its in 1/42 scale fitting for minifigs. Currently im working on it, see if i can get enough space without interfering with the connections inside the cockpit^^

here is a pic of the side view (the back of the ship is not how i want it, just so i get a better look at the scaling - its pretty much stolen from the very first y wing set, which i really liked, but i want more detail than that)

Y-wings are my favourite SW ship, so I'm very interested to see how this one develops.
