Greetings All, I have been busy designing and building my Mechwarrior 4 version of the Bushwacker Battlemech (Posted in the Sci-Fi section of Eurobricks) so my Y-wing LDD sits in the corner crying for attention. Here is me hoping that your feedback will convince me to spend more time with this project My also incomplete E-wing is waving "Hi..." -The cockpit opens to the side -The landing ski is folded up right between the legs of the Droid.

[Anthology] - Large - Guavian Death Gang Uglie
Leonardo da Bricki posted a topic in Watto's Junkyard
Background: Uglies are commonly found ships in the Star Wars universe. Each ship is made from previously used parts that are cobbled together with welds, sealant, bolts, and the will of the Force. These ships have no registry, and they are easily acquired on the black market, for a price. They are most commonly used by criminals, otherwise they are used by those with no other choice, those who have a death wish, and those with more than one life. Featured Character: Sadly, this astromech has no official designation, but he appears in 7 LEGO sets listed as "astromech droid" on the packaging. Upon some research, it becomes known that he is the later variant of R5-D4 from the 10144 Sandcrawler. Backstory: The Rebellion has won! The Empire's "New and Improved!" Death Star has been blown to smithereens. Vader, and the Emperor himself are dead. And away from the celebrations on Endor, the first scavengers jump into the system, and they descend upon the copious amount of wreckage strewn across space by the violent battles and explosions. Bits and pieces of starcraft are collected, and welded together into the ships called Uglies... About the Ship: The starfighter, a gang enforcer's rustbucket, is the damaged remains of a Y-wing and a TIE Bomber. The ship consists of the cockpit, body, and wing pylons of the Y-wing, combined with the heavily damaged TIE Bomber wings, and some scrounged TIE engines.

Hi, Some years ago I made some general requests about the possibilities to collect pieces to make a discontinued Lego set. Dunno if it was here or elsewhere, but I was fairly unaware of Bricklink and similar sites back then. The answers I got was that it was most likely no good idea to collect pieces, better to get the set complete. Somewhat discouraged by this I dropped the idea. 20160907_212210 by Jens, on Flickr Fast forward to this spring, when I rediscovered my interest for Lego and made a big leap into the world of AFOLs. I don't remember what started it, but the idea of getting the dream set was once again back. I got the first two UCS sets back in 2000 (X-wing and TIE interceptor) and ever since I laid my eyes on the Y-wing I wanted it. Considered it too expensive for me back then, I never bought it, something I regretted much. 20160619_185246 by Jens, on Flickr Now. To cut a long story short. I did it. I decided to get myself a 10134 UCS Y-wing. But not by paying a ridiculously amount of money for a complete set. Well, ridiculously amount for me anyway. I started off by digging into my childhood lego boxes, well aware of that it would give me worn pieces in wrong/old colors. I managed to get a fair amount of the pieces just by digging, about 33%. The rest of the pieces took about three months to get, mainly using bricklink. 20160905_175109 by Jens, on Flickr It's "easy" to get the dream set of yours. It's only a matter of money. The real challenge is to get it for a reasonable price. I quickly replaced too expensive parts with cheaper alternatives. It's a trade-off, I know, but ok for me. I tried to be as truthful to the original as possible. It required some minor "redesign" in order to get the price on a fair level. 20160906_164539 by Jens, on Flickr So. Here I am. I'm still waiting for some parts, and I will use the possibility to print stickers myself (I have a friend that can do this for me). I managed to get my dream set, or at least something very close to it, for a bit under ~150 Eur. And boy, is this set awesome! This is my fourth UCS (others being X-wing (first one), TIE interceptor and Slave-I). 20160906_195126 by Jens, on Flickr More pics can be found on my flickr, below. The moral of the story? Well, you CAN get that set you've always longed for, and for a reasonable price (per piece). It's a matter of patience, creativity and well, money. :) Next project will be... the holy grail of Star Wars Lego. Nuff said :D My flickr for Lego: Jens at Flickr

AYB 10, is the Hal Datta clan's classification of ugly made up of two B-Wing airfoils attached to a Y-wing cockpit by a TIE frame, and powered by a dangerously overclocked A-wing fusion reactor. The reactor feeds two relatively underpowered ion engines, upgraded from stock TIE fighter engines. The majority of the power goes to exciting the tibanna gas held in the tip-tanks, which consequently lets out an incredibly powerful blaster bolt that can penetrate every grade of armor up to that found on AT-ATs. In addition to that, it has twin proton torpedo launchers in the nose, and two high-intensity rapid lasers in the wingtips. The AYB 10s are only sent into battle when accompanied by either airspeeders or YB-3030s, depending on whether or not the battle is in-atmosphere. This particular AYB 10 belongs to a skilled Duro pilot by the name of Gleska, meaning "free-spirited sky". She lives up to that name by being the top AYB pilot in the entire Hal Datta fleet.

To infinity and beyond! With her female crew and purple colours this Ei-wing may not look to intimidating but space cruisers beware! This is no ordinary bomber. She trows stinky bombs that smell like rotten eggs. Intoxicating her victims with a stench that can be smelled throughout the universe she is well known by her enemies and her allies! It is not uncommon that The Rogue Squadron asks for her help during a crisis. For those who didn’t figure it out already, This ship is based on the Y-wing from Star Wars. The name Ei-wing is pronounced the same way as Y-wing. The name is meant to be a little joke since in dutch the word ’Ei' means egg. This is my first spaceship since I was a kid (and that has been a while :P ) I’ve built it for a little Sci-fi contest organised by HJR Holland on Lowlug.nl. It’s my response to the Xyster from Ecclesiastes. I tried to build it as stud less as possible. The entire bottom has bricks on it’s side or upside-down (except for the holes for the stands). It is a bit hard to photograph. Any suggestions on how to photograph it better or how to improve my creation are welcome!
