Posted February 15, 20169 yr What set do you think most accurately depicts the movie/series version of the ship? My main contender would be the Gold Leader Y-wing. . The design of the ship makes it appropriate for rendering in Lego. 9492 Tie Fighter or the 9493 X-wing are also good contenders. UCS naturally excluded - otherwise they would come close. For larger ships, perhaps the Tantive IV, though the scale gets rather wonky. What are your thoughts?
February 15, 20169 yr I'm quite partial to the Clone Wars Y Wing bomber which Lego also did an impeccable job with. The more recent Tie Fighter and X Wings are fairly close to the movie versions.
February 15, 20169 yr 7778 Midi-Scale Millennium Falcon almost got it right. Cockpit still a little too big. Wish I had one anyway.
February 15, 20169 yr Author I'm quite partial to the Clone Wars Y Wing bomber which Lego also did an impeccable job with. The more recent Tie Fighter and X Wings are fairly close to the movie versions. The CW Y-wing is pretty great - looks a lot similar. Same for the tie fighter and x-wing - the new X-wing coming out is rather spot on. As for the minifig-scale MF - the proportions are much too off, I think.
February 16, 20169 yr 9495 Gold leader Y-wing, 75094 Imperial Shuttle Tydirium. Both are really well built and as much accurate as possible giving the minifig scale. I modded Y-wing to make it evenmore accurate (canopy) and I really love it.
February 16, 20169 yr Regarding the Tyderium, i will agree that it is a stunning set, and captures the look very well, IMHO it gets the orientation of the cockpit, and the relative size of the cockpit/body completely wrong. To be expected for a non-UCS set though, as there is no way you could fit any minifigs in a cockpit scaled accurately to the craft. Personally i think 75038 (and 75135 as well) capture the look of the Eta-2 pretty well, save for the lack of TARDIS slot to fit an R2 droid in there without it sticking through the bottom of the wing (seriously lucasarts, WTF)
February 17, 20169 yr 75038 did a good job. 75003 did an excellent job 8097 I think did a fantastic job at system scale
February 17, 20169 yr Author 7141 naboo starfighter It actually does look pretty accurate, even though I hate the ship! I was going to say the Tantive IV. Agree - looks fantastic.
