So I've been really, really remiss in my updates here. The main reason for this is the hassle involved in dealing with third party photo sites.
So I've decided to just do a single upload of several dozen pictures and hope that viewers can just follow along.
My only explanation is thus:
The YT freighter we all know and love was just another variant of a long line of freighter ships. According to the Star Wars sites, the very first model in the line was the YT-450. It was slow, under-powered and was quickly superseded by better designs. But it set the mold for all of its progeny.
As far as we know there's never been a visual depiction of the 450. It's only been mentioned in text. That is until now.
That's all for now. The ship is almost done. but I still need to finish the boat and four or five figures. So probably another 3 or 4 weeks with this one.

May I present, the YT-450! "The slowest hunk of junk in the galaxy!"
