microfig Y-wing

My entry to the FBTB Palpatine's Shrink-O-Matic Ray Contest.

 

I went looking for fighters that had a tall enough cockpit that I could fit a full micro fig. I wasn't keen on building a tie fighter and while looking at a side shot I realized the y-wing has a hump underneath the cockpit, and I thought perfect!

 

Then while fiddling with all my white jumper plates I came up with the domes on the engines. Using technic rubber bands were the only way I could think of to get the yellow stripe, and it looked gray and sad without the color accent, so I went with it. I also made sure to include some brown in the greebling.

 

Classes have started up again, so my photography setup is limited, and this will likely be my last build for a long time.
