HI There,
i am looking to mod a YT and am, frankly, quite useless when it comes to anything practical.
are there any individuals or firms out there that customise to order or have some inventory for sale?
I'm looking for a YT with the cockpit in the middle.
thanks
Mark

There's a guy on eBay who's also on these forums that sells them:
Walter Vail on Facebook. He posts a lot in the group Xwing Miniatures Mods and Repaints. He does those astonishing open cockpit builds complete with painted pilots and crew. I recently PM'd him about general prices but haven't heard back. There is a website that was associated with his work but it seems to be expired.
If you have a local game shop, drop by on Warhammer 40k night. Those guys do insane customizations all the time! I'd hit up one of those guys, let them know what you'd like, and negotiate a price. They usually also have lots of extra bits hanging around.
Or you could try it yourself, pick up a cheap model in 1/270ish scale (tank, plane, etc). And superglue. Glue stuff on, cut stuff off (xacto knife). Prime the ship and put a coat of paint on. Its easier than it sounds!
It's not too bad. I did this one, I'm going to do more in time.

I have an old school friend in London who does amazing work. Badass Studios is the name of his place: www.badass-studios.com
I would also recommend looking on eBay as you can find some ships there (or doing it yourself). Studios can be expensive but they do give you what you want.
