I've been watching this build with great interest. Its made by the same guy that made the life size At-St and Jabba Skiff. They are on display at a museum, or something similar to OMSI. Way cool none the less....

Hey guys thanks for the kind comments on the Y-wing Martin,Brendy and Shane are the guys that build them I'm just the freeloader who gets to play with them at events, Although I'm a member of the UKG i live in Belfast, N.Ireland and it costs to much to fly or get the boat over to do the events with them guys, So I'm a member of another club called the Emerald Garrison http://irelandgarrison.com/ based here in Belfast but we now have over 50 active members throughout Ireland north and south were not 501st affiliated

The club started out just me then martin,Neil and Marty contacting me and then meeting up have a few beers and then onto where we are today, Martin is the CO and is the guy pushing the club on to bigger and better things year on year and has the full support of its members everything is run through him so a lot of credit to him for were he has taken this club from 4 members to were it is today we got are first official Lucas event with the starwars in concert in Dublin and are show will then be comming to Dublin for the first time on the first weekend in April so fingers crossed it goes as well as the Belfast event so its all tied in nicely.

Anyways here a nice pica of the nearly completed Y-wing with the other lifesize sets in the background.

Oh forgot to say they have worked out the materials needed for the AT-AT the cost was around $30k and plans were also made but its up to Martin and the guys if they make it, 2 plans were drawen up as far as i know for the AT-AT standing and kneeling.

That's pretty incredible!  Thanks for visiting our forum and sharing the pics and stories.  Quite ambitious projects to take on, especially even thinking about a full size AT-AT.   :shocked:
