The level of details you put in to your Y-Wings are amazing!

 

[zathros]

Last time I saw a part like this from you, the next one looked real. A nticipation!!

 

[dnalor]

Just some fun pictures of the complete Y-wing.

and it looks great..(and huge )

now next...I have to do a little trimming to align the engines..on each y wing one engine pod isn't how it should be...so I have to cut a little greebles away so that It can level. (left engine on picture)

When done I can spray paint them.
Bring them back to my work and start with the end greeble-ing.

[mcusanelli]

Absolutely amazing, I can't get over how much detail you put into these models, very inspiring!

 

[starbuck]

Looks great. Top details - would like to have on my shelf.
- As far as I know there is a cannon on the top of the cockpit. - I did not see it on your model - did you forget or am I wrong?

 

[dnalor]

that is correct...there is a gun on top..
some where at the beginning of this thread you can see it.
But it is still not glued to cockpit.

Absolutley amazing! Great job Dnalor!

 

[dnalor]

Yes the temperature starts to get above the 0 degree celcius..
so I have started with painting the ships..
they look great.
but still I need to spraypaint a lot...
I did now 2 times....and still I find parts that are not painted...

today i glued the first batch of greebles on the first y wing..(i took one to work and on is still at home)
it looks nice but it is a big puzzle...just checking what i forgot and try to build it so it fits.

i even glued the spare jerrycan to the ywing (second picture)

Amazing, it's looking fantastic! How big is this thing again?

 

[dnalor]

the size is around 85cm
the size of the engines are 50cm

the pictures are from the jerrycan

 

[dnalor]

humm...found out that i made a greeble mistake..
so i removed it and started with the replacement details.

also glued some of the tubing in the front behind the cockpit.
