A Whole Lotta Brass Tubing

A distinct feature of the Y-Wing is the twisted network of pipes that cover the fuselage. ILM used brass tubing that was covered in plastic, but getting all the sizes needed was a problem. I decided to just use plain old brass tubing. All of the pieces used are solid brass because it's easier to get clean bends with it as opposed to hollow tubing which tends to kink. I used pliers to cut the pieces to length and then sanded the edges down on the sanding wheel.

I also used brass tubing for the guns at the front.
