billyamy Posted June 30, 2016 Copy from some internet photos and different posts in this forum. I started to modify the 9495 Y-Wing Still waiting for the white half sphere parts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joebiwankenobi Posted June 30, 2016 Magnificent start! The fuselage looks great with the bent hoses and pipes. The overall shaping of the cockpit is pretty spot on, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
That Orange Thing Posted June 30, 2016 Can't wait to see this finished. The cockpit looks fantastic and could steal the show on its own but the greebling and pipe work is some of the best I've seen, it subtle yet looks so organic. Great job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billyamy Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) Thx joebiwankenobl and that orange thing The cockpit design is inspired by brickwright Also this parts Edited June 30, 2016 by billyamy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arthur Schopenhauer Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) This is beautiful! The Y-wing is one of my favorite rebel spacecrafts, and I'm planning to build a MOC of it... but it will be difficult to match your results, you've done really a great work in recreating the elaborated texture of the fuselage... The front part also looks almost perfect to me, fantastic! Edited June 30, 2016 by Arthur Schopenhauer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
That Orange Thing Posted June 30, 2016 Thx joebiwankenobl and that orange thing The cockpit design is inspired by brick weigh Thats best thing about mocs or mods, people share their designs and we pool that knowledge to expand upon for the better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arthur Schopenhauer Posted June 30, 2016 Thats best thing about mocs or mods, people share their designs and we pool that knowledge to expand upon for the better. That's true, I love to see how each new MOC contributes in some way to set a new standard, you see that well if you consider how MOCs of a particular spacecraft have evolved in the years, non only because of new parts! Anyway I'm waiting to see this Y-wing finished Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brickmasterben11 Posted June 30, 2016 This is amazing, I can't wait to see it finished! Quick question: Where did you get the flexible yellow tubes? Are those pure LEGO pieces? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hold0511 Posted June 30, 2016 Love Y-wings so this is great, I like the side on shape of the cockpit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarthTwoShedsJackson Posted June 30, 2016 The greebling is fantastic, the cockpit section could use some work still - but great WIP so far! Lego rigid hose Use the hair dryer to make it soft. Even better, put it in hot water - this will soften the rigid hose evenly along its whole length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Littleworlds Posted June 30, 2016 Looks absolutley amazing! I'd say its not far from movie quality Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tyutyu Posted June 30, 2016 Looks great. I am only finished with the cockpit section for my Y-wing MOC and I must say, that your version is very similar. I put my MOC aside because I did not have the creativity to do the hull the way you did. Hats off man. Great work! If I ever pick up my Y-wing project I would like to copy your hull design.

Green Rey Posted June 30, 2016 Beautiful work. I absolutely love the cockpit design. Any shots of the interior though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azrielsc Posted July 1, 2016 The Y-Wing is one of my fav SW ships and you have definitely done a great job! Love the yellow piping and the overall build! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leonardo da Bricki Posted July 1, 2016 That piping! I like this MOD! Very well done so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smitty500 Posted July 1, 2016 I really like the yellow tubing running through the model, it's like it's on its way to becoming the ones you see in ANH. and the engines are coming a long great. The cockpit looks great! but my only gripe is the 2x6 wedge slope, as well as the other sloping around it. At first glance it seems to work, but then again it just seems too steep of a slope leading up around the cockpit. LEGO's latest Y-wing, did a good job capturing the contours of it, and yours is very similar. I would try to lessen the the steepness of the slope from the cockpit to the edges, if possible. Other than That, its a good start! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billyamy Posted September 13, 2016 Done! (The structure of 2 engine are copy from brickwright ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All in the Reflexes Posted September 13, 2016 Fantastic!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBear Posted September 13, 2016 Great job. I would recommend copper coloured tubing over yellow to be more screen accurate if you can get hold of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kit Bricksto Posted September 13, 2016 I really like the style you chose here, relatively simple in its techniques but complex enough to capture all the essential details. The yellow wires do stand out a bit but as the copper ones are very expensive and the yellow does fit with the colour scheme of the Y-Wing I think you can get away with them. I think I personally would have chosen light grey but I can understand why that would be too boring for most people. Keep building cool stuff! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBear Posted September 13, 2016 The yellow wires do stand out a bit but as the copper ones are very expensive You would only need one or two 20L's and they are not that expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joeyl19 Posted September 13, 2016 What an awesome mod! I'm happy for you and great job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kit Bricksto Posted September 13, 2016 You would only need one or two 20L's and they are not that expensive. You're right.. I guess I should do my research more thoroughly.. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ecmo47 Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) A great representation of my favorite Star Wars ship! Outstanding detail throughout. The only area that is a detractor from the model are the afterburners. It's very hard area to model but somehow the exhaust gases need to pass through it for that extra speed needed on the trench run!
