YT-1760 build

By RuusMarev, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

This has turned out well.

Looks great and all the parts blend well together.

Maybe as suggested a fine inking would help the panels pop out a bit more.

But.....

That is if that is what your looking for.

It looks great as it is.

And if you like it.

Leave it.

Some times you can go to far !

Your model looks great.

Well done

All the best.

Thanks Barry, I think I'll let it sit for a little bit and then come back to it. Do a bit more practice on drawing tiny pinups on awkward surfaces. . Maybe paint with pencil shading... :)

That looks super cool man, great work!

Wow, ambitious modifying project, but liking it so far. Keep it up.

Hey RuusMarev, any more updates on this ship? The last time we saw it it was still missing the radar dish and quad-guns. What's she look like now?

As for the dish, I thought of adding a system slot option as possibly an upgrade. :)

When I first saw the red penciling by the pin up girl in that last photo I thought it said "git gud" which makes it even more awesome

Sorry for the late update, but I seem to have lost my notes while I was out of town. I had to do my best to remember what I had so far! Let me know what you think, I thought of using a blend of several large base ships.

Here we go:

Stat line- 3 attack, 2 evade, 5 hull, 5 shield

Action bar: focus, target lock, evade, boost

Dial: shadow caster or aggressor or a blend of both (3 s-loop replacing the 3 turn on SC.)

Upgrade bar: EPT, turret, system, crew, crew, elicit, elicit.

Titles:

Tailgunner Gal

YT-1760

When attacking with an equipped turret and the defender is inside your rear arc, reduce that ships agility by one. (To a minimum of 0)

Freelance Pilot

Yt-1760

You may use this ship in any faction, and may equip that faction crew in addition to your orginating faction (you may equip one additional title )

Electronic Warfare Specialist

Yt1760

Your upgrade bar gains an additional system slot or one tech slot.

(Granted the Freelance title is more for fun)

More Scum shenanigans :

Elicit

Forged Transponder

You may equip any ship title to your ship, regardless of restrictions.

You gain the ability for that title.

Thoughts and comments welcome!

Now i just need to flesh out the other pilot cards ,Titles and upgrade cards.

I really want to integrate these turrets into my ship. I thought of making one by using a micromachine TIE as a base, as it is scaled slightly smaller than the standard FFG.

Don't know if it's of interest, but I used one of these kits: 01.jpg

for the tailgun on my Ghost conversion.

Cheers ;)

Your best bet is probably just a Google search...in the UK, I only found a couple of places with it, and [i think] one eBay seller...certainly, the place I got mine only had one, and then restocked a few weeks later - so its probably similar elsewhere, but hopefully more available in the States or Japan.

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to share my progress with my current WIP.

I wouldn't mind trying this, especially since they're putting out another Falcon and I already have 2 old ones. What diameter are the outer/inner tubes for the engines?

Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with my first attempt at a customization at this level.

So much can be done with some courage and a small saw ;) . Very nice work.

The main part or the engine is a pipe coupling 21mm in diameter, the outer sections are plasticard. I used a heat gun to soften the plasticard and glued it using Gorilla Glue. Gorilla glue might not be the best choice, since it expands a bit. The secondary engines are a Bic pen.

Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with my first attempt at a customization at this level.

It looks neat! You should be proud.
