Y-WING 'Gold Leader' Studio Scale Build by dtssyst

[dtssyst]

Today was a good day. I was able to swap out parts.
Sometimes things just work one day when they didn't on another.

 

[Bjorn]

Super work there dtssyst!

Man, those surfaces have a lot going on.

I love the smell of Sealab orange in the morning!
It smells like...
It smells like...
... Victory!

BTW -- I did find the Titan 90 #13 greeblie, and I'm casting it now for you. So hang on another week before you start painting!

Don't forget the Hasegawa Sherman parts that go here.

 

[dtssyst]

Oh boy, I have so many parts to go.
Painting isn't in my vocabulary yet.
I do have two parts I'm not sure about that I posted a few post ago.

Sherman parts will be last. Those buggers drew blood when I did my red jammer.

Sorry dtssyst, I'll try to make this the last post of this type on your thread but...
How bout an ID on this part?

 

[dtssyst]

swgeek, I do not mind.
I do not know the part. I used a sprue corner from an injected mold kit trimmed to the size I needed.

That's cool, reminds me of when I built mine.

Very nice to see it coming alongEager to see your next update!

 

[dtssyst]

Minor update.
T struts added and leggs eggs resin domes.
I'm hopeful to do more this coming weekend.

 

[Studio Kitbash]

Getting itchy and scratchy over here waiting for the next progress pic or update...

 

[dtssyst]

Unfortunately no update, holidays saw to that.
I'll get back on it soon.

 

[dtssyst]

Took a good afternoon to get these done.

 

[3DImpact]

Nice- How do you make the structure?

 

[dtssyst]

The main structure of the engines is from a 3d print.
Hope that helps.

 

[dtssyst]

Engines are lit, installed and the rear assembly has been put together and installed.

 

[Studio Kitbash]

Duuuuuuuude!!!

It's beginning to look a LOT like a Y-Wing -- this is the "Pew pew!" stage for sure!

Did you use the jig? Or do you just have supernatural skill at lining up all the T-struts in a perfect quadrangle? It looks REALLY good.

 

[dtssyst]

I did use a jig. They were cut from manilla folders. Lol

 

[dtssyst]

One side printed. I need to print 4 more.
Printed on an original Anycubic. I upgraded it to a duel rail. Works beautifully.
