Hello,
I finally bought a digital camera, and uploaded some stuff to brickshelf:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=14176
The first five shots are my rendition of a microfig-scale Corellian Corvette.
I've kept this model assembled for over two years, waiting to post it
(finally - I can put those grey barrels to better use!). The colour-free
scheme is due to the b&w blueprints I got off the net and used as a reference.
The remaining shots are of an alternate I made from a 7150 (which was my first
LEGO set after returning from my 15+ year dark ages). I wondered to myself,
"Why are engines almost always mounted side-by-side?" So, I took a shot at
this over-under arrangement. I imagine it is a failed fighter that preceeded
the Y-wing and was made by the same manufacturer. The few produced found a
niche as recon craft. It has a feeble hyperdrive, but it's massive ion
engines make it hard to catch at sub-light speeds. It has various antennae
and sensors mounted on the sides of the cockpit, used to intercept a variety
of forms of interstellar communication. For defense, there are three light
laser cannons mounted on the nose.
Thanks for looking!
Jeff J

| Wow, Jeff! Love the alternate Y-wing design. The detail on the microfig ship is impressive, too. I don't like microfig scale, but I completely dig that one. Keep up the great work and display them proudly! Alexander (...) (23 years ago, 25-Mar-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

| (...) Interesting arrangement on your YWing variant. I would imagine the engines are most often placed side by side so it's easier to land without having to hinge the entire craft. :^) Thanks for posting your new pics! (23 years ago, 25-Mar-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)
