Thanks! I think the engines on the back say "Y-Wing" more than anything else. Thanks. That's pretty much the classic color scheme. Well, seeing as this figure is only about 7 inches tall, there's not much room for a pilot. If this was minifig-scale, however, I would make a space in the chest for the pilot.
So, here's the next in my SW/Gundam mash-up: Y-Wing Gundam (Gold and Red Leaders). I tried to include the greebly-ness of the Y-Wing fighter with the design of a Gundam Astray Frame.
I pretty much used TLG's engine design for their mini Y-Wing set, because, honestly, I couldn't think of a better one.
I also tried a new hand design for this scale which I'm pretty happy with.
And here's the Red Leader color variant. Let me know what you all think.
I've been wanting to build a Steampunk MF for a while, and now you've beat me to it. Dang! Anyway, this is simply amazing with all kinds of tasty details. Good luck!
A great idea that's nicely constructed! I love the color scheme and the Landspeeder, especially. I wonder if that Dewback should be more robot-like to fit with the Classic Space feel?
Thanks! I thought the cheese slopes did a good job of recreating the look of an SD Gundam too. Thank you. A Wookiee or R2 Gundam would be pretty cool. Might have to try them.
Thanks! That's old-school Yoda. I was originally going to use my CW Yoda fig, but his head was too big to fit in the cockpit, so I had to use my old fig.
I've been wanting to build more Star Wars/Gundam mash-ups, but wanted to try something a little different. After watching a Clone Wars episode where Yoda flies a Jedi Starfighter, I decided to build the little guy a Gundam! Since Yoda is small and fierce, I thought an SD (Super-Deformed) mobile suit would be what he would pilot. So, whatcha think?

Yoda at the controls!
"Mess with my Gundam and me you will not!"
I love that you picked a less popular ship like the Skyhopper for this round. The cannon made of rifles is nicely done and that back propellor is brilliant!
