The Y-Wing "Green Leader" Project - NOW OPEN SOURCE!

[CyberGolem]

Bravo! This was an amazing journey. Thanks to Dave and the RPF community for this amazing thread.

Today I finally finished my 'Green Leader' project. MANY thanks to Dave-G for pushing me down this 41 year quest to have my own Y-Wing.


Along the way I picked up 2 resin kits to go with them.


And then while painting them (I did Gold and Green at the same time), I decided to have a little fun!

DUDE!!

I just discovered this amazing build thread. I've always wanted to add a studio scale Y-Wing to my builds.

Am I too late for this party??

 

[DaveG]

Steve - It's never too late to build a Y-Wing! However you'll have to scratch build/3D print most of the parts. My run of fuselages and other parts is closed.

I'm still producing greeblies if you need a set, check out the Classifieds thread. I also have Tee-Plates for your armature, but you'll need to 3D-print (or Plastruct mock-up) your body pieces. All the other stuff can also be found here there and elsewhere.

If anyone is still in the process of building, I have some greeblie sets available here:

Beautiful work as always!

A little late to the party but this thread has inspired me to start my own Y-Wing. I Started a build thread here.

A question for the group - I'm prepping the armature pieces and cutting the Tee Plate on a CNC. 'Tee Plate.pdf' states 'To Lasercut, Waterjet Cut or CNC use filename "Tee Plate 160305.dxf"'. I searched the Google file share and could not find the referenced dxf file. Is the dxf file still accessible?

I just looked through my snapshot of the repository, but I can't see that file either.

Thanks vectorzero! Good to hear from you again. Hope all is well.

I recreated 'Tee Plate.dxf' from the 3D model in Fusion360. I have an svg version now too. I'll package all the files I create and send to DaveG. I'm happy to contribute to the open source repo if he approves.

DaveG
I just wanted to give a sincere thank you for all that you have done.
As of this week my Y-Wing is taking shape. I have no intention of a build thread but do post updates on my builds via my Facebook page.
Happy building and again, THANK YOU.

 

[DaveG]

Excellent! You are most welcome. I get a thrill everytime I see a new Y build. Cheers!

 

[DaveG]

Hey just a reminder.. my Y-Wing files are available free to use FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. If you want to print sets for yourself that's fine. Under no circumstances do I give permission for anyone to sell, trade, barter, etc. 3d prints made from my files, or parts cast using prints of my parts as the mold patterns!

If you missed out on my cast forward fuselage casting run please contact me. I have other options available!

 

[DaveG]

I have listed my original master patterns for sale in the Junkyard.

wow, this is amazing!

 

[stevee671]

Where's the forward fuselage files??

 

[DaveG]

i'm sorry but i've had several instances of people selling prints from my files for a profit even though I have expressly stated that that is not cool. So for now I have pulled the forward fuselage files.

It's disappointing—albeit, not surprising—that people do that kind of crap. Anyway, sorry to hear it Dave.

 

[joberg]

That sucks big time...shameful

 

[stevee671]

Well, that sucks, but I can't build a Y-Wing with out the Forward Fuselage files. I guess I'm going to have to abandon this project if that's the case.
