Y-wing from "Rise of Skywalker" for 3.75" figures

thewriteguy · 07-20-2021, 02:16 AM

What I've been working on throughout the pandemic: Designing this toy-scale version of the Y-wing from "Rise of Skywalker" for 3.75" figures. Length: 21". (The Kenner classic Y-wing is 17".)

It's 100% paper and wood-based, made with corrugated cardboard from Amazon boxes, paperboard from food packaging, coffee stirrers, coffee cup sleeves, toothpicks, paper. Elmer's white glue. Now, need to add the final details: greebles, decals and paint.

Just as I did with my toy versions of the U-wing and AT-Hauler, I will release the parts patterns and build instructions for this Y-wing for free, hopefully in early fall. I look forward seeing what the SW toy-custom community can do with it.
