Posted June 30, 20168 yr Copy from some internet photos and different posts in this forum. I started to modify the 9495 Y-Wing Still waiting for the white half sphere parts
June 30, 20168 yr Magnificent start! The fuselage looks great with the bent hoses and pipes. The overall shaping of the cockpit is pretty spot on, too.
June 30, 20168 yr Can't wait to see this finished. The cockpit looks fantastic and could steal the show on its own but the greebling and pipe work is some of the best I've seen, it subtle yet looks so organic. Great job.
June 30, 20168 yr Author Thx joebiwankenobl and that orange thing The cockpit design is inspired by brickwright Also this parts Edited June 30, 20168 yr by billyamy
June 30, 20168 yr This is beautiful! The Y-wing is one of my favorite rebel spacecrafts, and I'm planning to build a MOC of it... but it will be difficult to match your results, you've done really a great work in recreating the elaborated texture of the fuselage... The front part also looks almost perfect to me, fantastic! Edited June 30, 20168 yr by Arthur Schopenhauer
June 30, 20168 yr Thx joebiwankenobl and that orange thing The cockpit design is inspired by brick weigh Thats best thing about mocs or mods, people share their designs and we pool that knowledge to expand upon for the better.
June 30, 20168 yr Thats best thing about mocs or mods, people share their designs and we pool that knowledge to expand upon for the better. That's true, I love to see how each new MOC contributes in some way to set a new standard, you see that well if you consider how MOCs of a particular spacecraft have evolved in the years, non only because of new parts! Anyway I'm waiting to see this Y-wing finished
June 30, 20168 yr This is amazing, I can't wait to see it finished! Quick question: Where did you get the flexible yellow tubes? Are those pure LEGO pieces?

June 30, 20168 yr The greebling is fantastic, the cockpit section could use some work still - but great WIP so far! Lego rigid hose Use the hair dryer to make it soft. Even better, put it in hot water - this will soften the rigid hose evenly along its whole length.
June 30, 20168 yr Looks great. I am only finished with the cockpit section for my Y-wing MOC and I must say, that your version is very similar. I put my MOC aside because I did not have the creativity to do the hull the way you did. Hats off man. Great work! If I ever pick up my Y-wing project I would like to copy your hull design.
June 30, 20168 yr Beautiful work. I absolutely love the cockpit design. Any shots of the interior though?
July 1, 20168 yr The Y-Wing is one of my fav SW ships and you have definitely done a great job! Love the yellow piping and the overall build!
July 1, 20168 yr I really like the yellow tubing running through the model, it's like it's on its way to becoming the ones you see in ANH. and the engines are coming a long great. The cockpit looks great! but my only gripe is the 2x6 wedge slope, as well as the other sloping around it. At first glance it seems to work, but then again it just seems too steep of a slope leading up around the cockpit. LEGO's latest Y-wing, did a good job capturing the contours of it, and yours is very similar. I would try to lessen the the steepness of the slope from the cockpit to the edges, if possible. Other than That, its a good start!
September 13, 20168 yr Great job. I would recommend copper coloured tubing over yellow to be more screen accurate if you can get hold of it.
September 13, 20168 yr I really like the style you chose here, relatively simple in its techniques but complex enough to capture all the essential details. The yellow wires do stand out a bit but as the copper ones are very expensive and the yellow does fit with the colour scheme of the Y-Wing I think you can get away with them. I think I personally would have chosen light grey but I can understand why that would be too boring for most people. Keep building cool stuff! ;)
September 13, 20168 yr The yellow wires do stand out a bit but as the copper ones are very expensive You would only need one or two 20L's and they are not that expensive.
September 13, 20168 yr You would only need one or two 20L's and they are not that expensive. You're right.. I guess I should do my research more thoroughly.. :D
September 13, 20168 yr A great representation of my favorite Star Wars ship! Outstanding detail throughout. The only area that is a detractor from the model are the afterburners. It's very hard area to model but somehow the exhaust gases need to pass through it for that extra speed needed on the trench run! Edited September 13, 20168 yr by ecmo47
