Well now that is great news, and thank you for the service!
Darth More:
I am updating my first entries on this topic with additional pics and info right now.
Also make sure to visit my other tiopic on restoring Hasbro's Star Wars Action Figures:

I got some more incomplete vehicles that I will restore this year. As mentioned in the list of contents these will be my upcoming projects:
I got this set with two vehicles and 4 figures for 24€ including shipping from eBay:
So I got them fairly cheap and can therefore use them to turn them into customs...
Fortunately I have another complete Republic Fighter Tank so that I can make molds of the original parts.
I can make resin parts as long as I have the original parts. But I have to make many molds to complete this TVC Y-Wing. New for me will be to work with clear epoxy to reproduce the canopy...
One tip right away: Color scratches like these can be washed off with a brush and soap or if the brush is not enough: A Magic Eraser! But be careful with these sponges, if you rub too hard the original color will disappear, too...these Magic Erasers are quite abrasive....
Jaeger45:
These look really nice! When you tackle the canopy, I'd be interested in seeing your mold. I haven't tried to tackle a really thin part like this yet, and I need to cast a VC X-wing canopy
tetsuoswrath:
These are great too! That's really a great idea too.
Is it feasible to use molding and casting to make an entire ship duplicate for yourself? :{O
Tamer:
I am interested to see how this comes along!
