Up for auction is a professionally built award winning 1/72 scale Fine Molds Y-Wing. Weathered to perfection. This has won 7 first place awards in different contests and 5 Best of Shows.  

Now, I have seen several built models sell on eBay for a lot more ($700-$800 range). I do this because I love it, and my first goal is to get enough money to buy another kit and the materials like the one I am selling and then build it to see if I can improve.  

I have had several people send "rude" messages about me using the term "professionally built" for my finished model auctions. One even asking if this is my real profession. I am going to let you all in on a little secret, it is. My name is Jeff Brown, Google "Jeff Brown Sci Fi Modeller". I have written articles and taught classes in Sci-Fi model building. You are actually buying a piece of art here not just a piece of plastic. 

I wish the guy who bought my TIE Fighter could tell you how crazy good these look up close and in person (he did leave a positive feedback but that doesn't do his praise justice). I also sold my 1/144 Millennium Falcon recently and that buyer was so impressed he has commissioned me to build more Start Wars models for him and we have actually become friends through this sale. 

Get a nice display case, set it on your desk and impress people.
