So well, I tried to fit a concept into a fashion shoot. Which was extremely hard seeing as I hadn't planned one. But.... I was walking around the city the other day and I thought to myself, If I had a twin or better yet a total clone of myself, would I be friends with myself? .. my answer is no. Quite honestly I would probably hate myself. Hmmm.. interesting thoughts

It is always a pleasure to work with an accomplished actor when putting together one of these scenes. They make it much easier to execute and come out looking better in the final product.

My first ever true Minifig-scale ship is finally here, and what better model to start with than the sleek BTL-B Y-Wing from The Clone Wars series.
Being 23 meters long in universe, this accurately Minifig-scaled MOC is quite a unit: 57 cm long, 1,6 kg, 2,954 pieces. It can accommodate two clone pilots - one in the cockpit, the other in the turret. The model is available in three versions: classic (yellow), Rex's (blue), and red.
With a spaceship of this kind, the main challenge is to achieve a level of smoothness and fluidity that gets as close to the original as possible.
Using the Battlefront model as a reference, my goal here was to closely match all key features of the ship: the subtle downwards angle on each side of the body, the curvy and tapered front section, the continuous yellow stripes that run across the entire fuselage, the intricate middle-section... and for such a smooth ship, going full SNOT (from top to bottom!) goes without saying.
The T-shaped body of Y-Wings usually allow for simplistic structures, but in this case, figuring out the internals was one of the truly head-scratching parts of the build, since I had to properly incorporate angled fuselage assemblies and make a proper interior for Minifigs. Even so, the model is very swhooshable and can be grabbed from the underside, from the rear or even from both wings.
Each color variant is accompanied by its specific set of instructions and parts list, giving you the freedom to build the one you prefer.
The ship has two display modes, "in-flight" with its fully removable stand, and "landed" with retractable and easy-to-connect landing gear. The swooshing can begin.

This is the actual photo I took without any processing at all. The shot was taken near Thornley woodlands center in a bird hide. This cheeky fox was digging for something. When he heard my mirror slapping on the camera he looked up and I got a nice moment of him looking straight at me! Shot was taken using a Sigma 100-300mm f/4 EX lens with a 2x teleconverter making 600mm focal length (and it still wasnt enough!).
I haven't uploaded anything for a while so I decided to show you my dead WIP. I've been building on this clone base for like 2 or 3 weeks and it was meant for C.C.M. Production's clone base contest, but I'm in another contest, with multiple rounds, and the deadline of round 1 is on Tuesday. That's why I need quite a lot of its pieces. Tell me what you think and what I should do.
Many moons ago before I had Photoshop I would Take a picture of the sky and another of a jet in a museum, the careful clone the jet on the framed sky picture.. Photoshop makes it much easier now days
This was going to have a fourth 'me' sitting on the foot of the bed but the battery died in the camera which explains the empty space down there - darn it!
