So I got the Y-Wing model today and noticed that there is not real turret on it.
Does anyone have modeling experience? How can I make a mini turret and glue it on to my Y-wing?
Y-Wing No Turret on Model
This is something I've been pondering as well. I'm sure it would be easy to cobble something together using wire and plasticard.
It's not really noticeable on the BLT-A4 Y-Wing which was the variant used at Yavin.
your local game store should have some "Green Stuff". It's a miniatures industry standard sculpting/molding medium. It's a 2 part epoxy, [blue part] + [yellow part] = [green stuff] to sculpt with. It is very tacky when malleable, so it will stick nicely to your miniature, and is a bit like sculpting with warm chewing gum. I'd recommend playing with small bits on test pieces before going at your miniature with it. Water and a sculpting tool makes nice smooth surfaces, and it really is fun to play with.
There is also "Brown Stuff" that is used for hard-edge modelling, but I find that green stuff is sufficient for most applications.
There's a ton of information online for all miniature sculpting materials and methods. Have fun!
Was slightly disappointed by this aspect of their Y-wings, but I'd rather have no turret, than one more piece that would be super easy to break and annoy me even more!
