Hello everbody!

Today I want to present you something new from the micro workshop. Although it may be niether impressive nor accurate, I hope to make you smile a little bit. Often I spend much time looking at strange pieces, like the highly specialized new clicky hinge pieces, in order to find alternate building possibilities for them. That’s how the following model was created



One of the Rebellions’ work horses is the Y-Wing Starfighter. This micro version, however, only consists of 7 pieces, and 2 of these are clicky hinges. Hence it gained the nick name hYinge-Wing.

To complete the story, I admit that one of the clicky hinge pieces was already used for the micro version of the Nebulon-B Frigate. Some of you might remember having seen it here some time ago. Another, but different, hinge piece can even be sued for minifigures, as shown for the Admiral Ackbar figure. This, too, was shown here some time ago, and some might remember it. For those who don’t, I again provide the links to their galleries here, as their building style is similar to the new Micro Y-Wing, using clicky hinge pieces, and fits into the story.

That’s all for now. I thank you for your interest and stepping by. Hereby, I say good bye to everone for this year, and hope to see you again next year. Have a great christmas and a happy new year!

(...) That Ackbar is wonderful! But what piece is holding the 1x1 slope wedge to the click hinge head piece? The best fit I could find is the old (narrow) style 1x1 plate with light holder: (URL) The problem I'm having is that the clip part (...) (17 years ago, 3-Jan-08, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)
