Here's my progress on the 1/72nd scale Republic Y wing from Clone Wars.

Thanks.

That is beautiful Richard! These should sell extremely well!

Started work on the cockpit. The seats will be cast separate.

Cool - tiny, but cool. A little strange to see you make something that looks like a Fine Molds model, but I am sure it will be awesome.:thumbsup

 

[REL]

Thank you. I'm getting tired of the gigantic models, these small one's are more of a challenge.

You take on some interesting projects! :thumbsup

Such crisp detail for 1/72nd scale! Great stuff (as always), REL.

 

[REL]

Thank you.

Starting on the scribing. And I made a new canopy, I didn't like the old one. This one will be studio style with no glass.

I absolutely love the clone wars y-wing. The concept art really felt like Joe Johnston.

That is beautiful. Wow. Your skill is.... I have no words. I am just always amazed at the quality of your work.

I take it that the reason only one engine is being built is because it is identical on both sides and thus negates the point of building two, when only one is needed for molding for both sides, right?

Sorry if this reads a little stupid, I'm just trying to see if I got it right.

Looks very sharp! :thumbsup

When I first saw the design for the newly built Y-wings, I hated it. And I mean REALLY hated it, even after seeing it in action on the show. But seeing your work on this thing...all I can say is WOW! I am now totally sold on the design thanks to you. Even in the early stages you made it look amazing. Absolute stellar work!!

Here's some of the first pieces to be cast. I should have a complete casting by tomorrow.

Thanks

Check out that cockpit! Single piece with no flash! Amazing work...

Lovely work, as always. Very clean. Very nice - very precise.

...

So, hypothetically, how would your kit and the FM kit ... relate?

... Could parts be, ah, shared?
