Y-Wing

Check out this lovely beast by builder Jarac. The Y-Wing has always been a favorite of mine, just because it’s so “scrappy”. It was designed to look like a ship that had seen some action. It's outside cladding had been removed so many times that it was eventually decided it wasn’t worth the hassle. It also looked like it could take some punishment, and had dished out a fair amount too.

Table Scrap Tiny Fighters

Labelled as table scraps by the builder (which is quite ironic, considering that there are several kitchen utensils used here), David Zambito used some brand new collectible minifigure accessories to good use. David used the new dark blue food trays as the panels for the iconic TIE fighter vehicle. With perhaps a recoloring of these pieces in black in the future, and maybe some custom sticker work, these would work incredibly well for microscale TIE fighter building. The other use, which is my favorite, is the at the very end of the Y-wing. Those are the new wisk accessories, which work so very well to cap off a little rebel starfighter. Simplicity is not always a bad thing, as demonstrated here. All you need is your creativity.

Y-Wing

I love a good midi scale model, there's something just so imminently swishable about them. This Y-Wing from Rogue Bantha looks ready to take on the evil galactic empire itself (with gold leader piloting of course). The cockpit of this ship has always been tricky when brick-built, and I've never seen it better done at this scale.

Gold Leader Standing By...

I've always been a fan of the Y-Wing, with it's scrappy, no nonsense construction, clearly the result of decades of optimizing and losing non essential things, like body panels. They're flying tanks piloted by fearless rebels like Jon "Dutch" Vander, gold leader. This version by mrutek looks awesome, and appears ready to take on the entire Empire itself. I just wanna swoosh it!

Y-Wing Evolved

There have been a great number of entries for FBTB's Star Wars Evolved contest, but few have made me go "whoa" (I should share that FBTB's own Don Solo was standing behind me, and had the same reaction). It's Y-Wing heritage is clearly visible, but the split nacelle mech action gives it an almost droid fighter feel. Nice work space_e!

You Can Build This Awesome Y-Wing

What's better than a kickass Star Wars MOC? A kickass Star Wars MOC with instructions that's what! This beast of a Y-Wing packs an incredible amount of accurate detail into a UCS scale ship, it's practically camera ready. And you can build your own because builder Brickwright was kind enough to provide us with instructions. What are you waiting for, get the parts list and get building!

NCS Y-Wing

Now here's a mashup I can get behind, Star Wars and neo classic space. Builder Billyburg has brought together the form factor of an all time classic ship from a galaxy far, far away with the modernized aesthetic but classic color combinations of LEGO classic space and the results are pretty sweet. This thing looks ready to take on the Empire.

Y - Thank You

I can see that being on the receiving end of builder Steebles' gratitude is a good place to be, his boss got this phenomenal mini Y-Wing as a thank you gift. It's amazingly detailed for it's scale and the display base is a perfect compliment. Makes you want to do something nice for him huh? Like feature him on your obscure and lame blog, yeah, that's it!
