I second that! Looks good so far, I've never actually seen anyone build one of these. One of my favorites from the movies (that and the B-wing)

Okay, here's a small update on all the work I managed to get done on Friday and Saturday at Hobby Day. Hopefully I'll be able to improve on this during the week.
I painted and later dry brushed the cockpit of the Y-wing:
Then I painted the pilot up. I didn't have any clear orange for the visor, so I painted it silver first; then while it was still wet, I painted over it with orange again. I think it actually looks fairly close!
His visor ain't gonna be seen that well anyway after the cockpit canopy gets closed over it...
Here you can see him sitting in the cockpit before I closed everything up:
While that was all drying, I added the outer casing pieces to the round part of the 'wings':
By this time the cockpit and pilot were dry enough for me to put them together and then complete the head of this ship:
All that was left was to add the remaining parts of the tail and the landing gear, which I did. Here it is sitting on it's landing gear all completed and ready for paint:
I hope Ian likes this one Kenny!
Okay, that's all I have for now. I hope you enjoyed this trip. Meanwhile, thanks for looking in; comments are welcome!

Okay, now that I finally recovered from my cold, I felt it was time to paint this Y-wing I'm building for this Call to Arms campaign. First though, here's a shot of the cockpit after I gave it a wash before closing it up:
Here it is after I shot the grey over it and painted the cockpit canopy intermediate blue:
It took awhile getting inside all those nooks and crannies. Now I just have to paint some details and then I can add the decals to this.
That's all I have so far. This one is coming along nicely so far. Stay tuned for more.

Thanks for the great replies guys! My apologies for not responding sooner. For some reason I never got the E-mail notice that replies were made here.
Anyway, here's my latest progress. I wanted to try and experiment a bit on the Y-wing fighter. I added a black wash to it and later; when it was dry, I dry-brushed the raised details. I started in the cockpit dry-brushing in there, and then did the rest.
Here's the cockpit:
Most of that won't even be seen after the canopy goes on, but what the hey...
Here's the rest of it. I washed and dry-brushed only the main fuselage on this Y-wing so see how it would turn out. I'll let you guys decide how well I did:
Next I hope to get the decals on this and then give it another wash again to bring out the details on the rest of it. I am so very close to getting this finished!
Stay tuned for more!
