Thank You dnalor. I know your build very well
. Great work.
I have not much time left for Y-wing (paper modeling), so progres is slow right now. I have finished buttplate on front fuselage and working on cockpit right now.

Given the depicted level of technology in the S-W universe, I would be very surprised if cockpits didn't provide some kind of 'virtual awareness' displays (aka holographic.)
2-cents worth... that's all. Regards, Robert

And lot of details and greeblings there is. I am still little scared of it.
Especialy this spring and summer was otside time for me. We are heavily reconstructing our cottage in highlands. I am enjoying it wery much. It sometimes feels like paper modeling in real scale. But it was hard work. I even ended up in hospital because my eyes started to acted vierdly from cumulated fatigue. Everything is fine now.

I suffered the same problem, I had to drive around 2000 miles in three days, and that was virtually constant driving. I suffered eye strain, and I don't think my eyes have ever recovered. It was driving into the Sun at sunrise, and the night driving, so many people have their headlights adjusted wrong. Now, I am repairing my house and property from the Tornado damage. I already ended up in the hospital once, the doctor really chewed me out for over doing, just before he knocked me out for 12 hours. I sure felt better when I regained consciousness, and all the ant-inflammatory drugs took effect. My 3 cars need brake jobs. I just removed a hitch from my Subaru Forestor, and put on a new Draw-Tite hitch, it took my two days to get the screw to align. I had to prop up the rear bumper really weird to line up the holes. A nightmare job. The brake jobs should be pretty straightforward, as they need new rotors and pads. 
Hello friends, I just reupload all mising photos in this thread, if anyone is interested to see this old thread.
When I started this project in 2018, there was no accurate 3d model available, so I started to make it myself. Since then few accurate models for 3d printing appeared. I happend to acquire one of them receantly so now I have complete 3d model at my hands.
But my intention is not to 3d print it, but to continue on this project and use it to develop paper model from it. It saved me lots of hours on 3d modeling so now I can concentrate on making paper parts from 3d parts.

Well this looks like another one to build, must crack on and finish the other! nice work so far, and the Assault Carrier version you pictured looked interesting
Thank you for reuploading your pics to this thread. I am glad to see that you are continuing on with this project!
No progres, unfortunately. I have to finish A-wing first - my rule is to have just one unfinished model from a category. So I have one unfinished viking ship, one unfinished plane, one unfinished SW model.
And sadly for y-wing, I will probably jump to Tie-fighter after the A-wing, because I do not have any imperial ship and its build will be way shorter than Y-wing. But do not wory - asi it is said "Life is long". Or "Life is too short"?

As I see we all have the same problems with the "work in progress" list rules... We elaborate our own list of excuses to jump from one build to another and the unfinished models collection grows. I am seriously worring about my chances to live enough to complete all my unfinished ones...
