Too poor to get a cool, shiny UCS Y-wing starfighter?

Well, I got a solution.

This y-wing uses a lot of parts from the TLC's 7658 set. However, it is much bigger.

It's supposed to be between the UCS and the "regular" set.

Here's a cockpit closeup.

On this picture you can clearly see it's a work in progress, since the left engine (when you look from the rear) isn't completed.

Here's the R5-D4 unit.

Please comment.

Wow, this is a really nice mod WIP. I like what you've done with the flick-fire missiles as well as the added greebling and the corrected astro-droid socket (though I would recommend that you just leave the legs out, as they are obtrusive). Overall I like the way this is headed.

A few things I would suggest:

- Make the engine nacelles larger - 6-wide domes are closer to the correct size.

- Shrink the cannons in front - the gun pieces don't look all that great.

- Make your own canopy - the LEGO version is too blocky.

- Greebling can make or break a good Y-wing. For effective greebling, follow the source material.

Oh, and one more thing - if the Y-wing seats one, it's a BTL-4A - if two, a BTL-S3.

It is so good, I cant tell what has been done here.

I'd like to blog this, what's your flickr?

Very nice Y-Wing, I love the realistic greebling details you've put in here. Looking forward how this one will progress, good job so far!

Thanks for the suggestions and comments. I'm going to the store next week to pick up some parts, so you can expect something by then.

For the blog, my flickr.

It looks awesome!

I guess I was lucky enough to see it at your house.

Since I told you my opinion there, I don't need to repeat how good it looks again.
