Hey guys, been gone a while, but I'm finally back. I've been out of the game for about 4 years, so I tried to make my return as interesting as possible ;-).
What we have here, is the Family Truckster, from "Blue Harvest" - the Family Guy parody of Star Wars. Though it was only on screen for 10 seconds, I fell in love with the design, being a huge fan of both movies being parodied.
.
It's a kitbash using an AMT 1:25 '65 Chevelle station Wagon, and a 1:72 Bandai Y-Wing. The undercarriage is custom, as it's never seen on screen. Built up using bits of styrene, parts from the Y-Wing, and parts from the Chevelle. Plus a few miscellaneous spare aircraft parts from old builds. The roofrack is built from styrene, the luggage is sculpted from clay, and the wood panelling is contact paper.
The hardest parts were deleting the wheel wells, and engineering the wing mounts. The Y-Wing mounting point is oddly shaped, so I had to cut corresponding holes in the side of the vehicle. Then use a brass rod to connect both sides to each other, for further stability.
Hopefully the pictures work, as this new (to me) system is a bit wonky yet.
Enjoy
