Nice build... Maybe this can help you a little. My Y-wing thread. http://www.zealot.com/threads/building-my-own-y-wing-s.173462/page-2

Very nice......i did one too... But i still have to paint mine... I want to try and use putty to get a real helmet...but it is still on hold :-) the falcon first. i found mine at the the dented helmet..

Very great build.. looks awesome

very cool build. and very fast build.

looks very nice.. did you have to make extra reinforcements?

I have thought about it...at work we have copper wire..in different sizes.. But what i used now is nice and strong... and looks great .... my ywings are really heavy...I will weight one of them to see how heavy they are...but I think a few kilo. When I hold the y wing...I think the tubes/wires...

all the tubes installed on the first y wing. now this one is ready for final painting.. just have to figure out which colors i need. so this y wing can go home and the other y wing can be transferd to my work -office for detailing and tubing. 12579

When your not such a paper purist....use wood..metal or what you find for the main construction...and go from there with paper. (I do it, for big builds)

i think i'm ready with the greeble-ing... now i have found the tubes i wanted.. it was a long search... first i wanted to use electrical wire...great for bending...but it also bends easy when you lift up the ship. now i found the hum...how do you call them..those sticks for electrical...

:-)

I wished that lego falcon was mine....but it isn't :-( it's just an example of another builder how he painted his falcon....i hope i can do that too.

Nope your wrong. this is a kids toy.. And the guys at www.RPF.com went nuts about this ship.. why? the size is 28 inch. combo of 5 footer and 32 inch details the proportions are better looking that the FM kit there is only a lack of side panels.. And with some paint this could look like this.

my next project is waiting :-)

Great looking ship. At the real thing they create the shiney part with silver-tape.. (when I first saw that I really had....oh this is how they do that :-) )

great looking ship...nice size...perfectly build!

:-) thanks guys.... almost ready....these are the last steps ...few more greebles and then paint the ships and ready. how many weeks should that take :-)

and bigger is better :) hum....detailing a plastic model with paper....sweet :-) you created a mutant..

humm...found out that i made a greeble mistake.. so i removed it and started with the replacement details. also glued some of the tubing in the front behind the cockpit. 11802

the size is around 85cm the size of the engines are 50cm the pictures are from the jerrycan

today i glued the first batch of greebles on the first y wing..(i took one to work and on is still at home) it looks nice but it is a big puzzle...just checking what i forgot and try to build it so it fits. i even glued the spare jerrycan to the ywing :) (second picture) 11750
