OK, its embryonic, but i thought id nail a thread up now, as im almost done with the Probe Droid legs, and this will be MY next project to finish.
Im converting the Nice N Red Jammer, into a TIE killer, why, because im pretty warped in the head, and, you guys know i love to tinker.
This build will have, complete new engine patterns, a rework (not rebuild) of the cockpit module, and corrected details on the main hull and wings.
Quite a lot to do, and some may ask why, seeing as Steve and crew are to release this bird........my Jammer was a gift, im not going to sell it to fund another, ive NO plans to collect Y wings lol, and lastly, i think ill be way happier using real parts for the engines......although Mike did a great job, im still not too happy with resin cans TBH.
So there ya have it, itll be another long winded overblown thread of shaving, casting, cutting, and general mess, but, a bit of fun, and where is the fun in building OOB these days?
Id like to just thank a very, very good friend and gifted member here, for helping me make this project happen......you know who you are...merci.

Bit of casting after work on Friday.
Some dry fitting, engines are just place holders from the kit!
Wing plant on castings, came out like a dream with Easyflo 60.

I know the Jammer head is different from the Gold Ys, but is the general shape of the t-shaped fuselage the same?
