I'm sure they gang up and go wrong together!

Hopefully it will add a few pointers - As I'm basically working blind on this build, you never know whats around the corner

A rather fetching shade of pink... I to need a new printer

Interesting start, looking forward to more

Post of the Day... I shall hold my head high, and strut like a cockerel... Thanks for the praise, and a fitting comparison, as the engines used on the studio Y-wing models for Star Wars used the Airfix Saturn V if I'm not mistaken Thanks, and it came to me in my sleep, trying to find a...

Engine Domes Time to fit the domes to the front of the engine pods. Where the white portion of the pod enters the printed part, there is a grey line all the way round to give you a stopping point for the ribbed band to stop at. A dry fit showed a slightly tight fit - and looking at the...

Larger than life...hmmmm... you got me thinking, could I make a Y-Wing out of cardboard 'Lifesize??? Looks at partner, No then... :( Yes, 'The Persuader' is brought into action to really make sure parts fits nice and tight... Or as you saw earlier in the build, to flatten those stubborn pieces!

Ahhhh, I see, consider me now 'updated' "I have the conn"

Cheers, plodding along... and now I fancy some crisps... or chips to you ;) C3? not quite sure what you mean there...

A very nice gift, there's some real gems on the Canon site, the fold out photo album was a a great addition Good job with the modelling clay! ;)

Engine add-ons Lots of little boxes, which looked an easy build, but took all day and an evening!!! How deceptive the world of papercraft can be! Sixteen parts to add onto the engine pods - the squarer of the two will receive the T-Bars recently constructed and the coffin like shape will be...

Just goes to show that lots of reference, dry fitting or knowing your subject can help in construction, rather than relying on the 'instructions' Very nice work as always...

Great set of wheels, and the spokes are superb too... This week I had the pleasure of looking at the 8th oldest locomotive in the world, and the first steam engine to pull a regular passenger service! I present to you Robert Stephenson's 'INVICTA' currently housed at Whitstable Museum, Kent...

Thanks @micahrogers - not quite grasping your second comment ''O would wrap thick card thou'' ??? Unless you mean to use thicker card, these are already four layers thick, and will be impregnated with cyanoacrylate... they won't be bending or warping on my watch... :cool:

My kind of thinking... sit it on a shelf??? nah, fly it around the room shouting 'pew-pew!'

thank you for your kind comment I do hope so

Work continues on the engines... The eight parts from the top of page 5 were selected Construction was fairly simple - cut, crease and glue Eight greeblies finished and added to the growing parts pile to be added at a later date. T-bars for fixing along the main engines and into the rear...

Good progression, looks very sturdy

"pew, pew-pew, pew, pew!"

Another nice cutting session to get you knife stuck into
