Studiokitbash ecouraged me to start a build thread for my y-wing project. So here it goes. This build is based of of DaveGs open source project. I will be doing my best to take pictures as I go and upload progress when I can. This is my first studio scale build and I am very excited to get started. As much as I love the x-wing, the y-wing has always been my secret crush.
Update: As this project has progressed it has become it's own thing...so it most definitely shouldn't be used as a reference if you are trying to make a replica and referencing any of these photos, or my albums. It most closely follows the Tie Killer/Gold Leader scheme, but there are a few Red Jammer cues here and there as well as some of my own twist on certain areas. Mostly I have just taken my favorite bits and boops from all of the different versions as well as adding my own inventions here and there, especially when I run across a section that I may be missing pieces from. This has just been a ton of fun, and I have no idea how I am going to go back to regular modeling with instructions and kits that come with all of the parts after this is done...which isn't going to be anytime soon.
Thank you DaveG for making this project available to the community, and to all of the users that I have hit up for advice and tips and parts, thank you too! I hope I can find some way to make my own contributions to board to help others with their own projects.
thanks for reading!
