Do we know who's gonna be in for this group build ? That's a good question. Should we set up a Star Wars category in the Group Build section of the site? I'm planning to participate with a scratchbuilt landing craft in 1/35. |

Currently I'm eyeballing the Bandai 1/6 New Order Trooper, the Bandai 1/72 T-70, and the (vaguely 1/72ish) AMT Lambda-Class Shuttle from "back in the day". There will most likely be more - gotta dig through the resin kit box still. |

Put me in for a Bandai 1/72 Tie (that will be my first. I'll likely do another, but put me down for that for now).

Lucas, you can put me down and I will make some sort of effort to join in with the one SW kit I have in the stash....FM's X-wing. Picked up the kit from a friend while at a show over the summer. It was opened prior, but I think he only snipped a couple parts off the sprue. This ought to be interesting!!  |

Not planning to start the build until February, but I did stock up on styrene sheet from our local plastic supplier. 3 sheets, each 24" x 48" (Cut into 24" sections for easier storage.)  .5mm - 1.0mm - 1.5mm thicknesses.  Should last a while. |

Hey John Next time you need some Holler. I can put them on Will-call for you over at Denco sales. I'll have to check but I think I get them for $13 a sheet for 4x8. I'll look it up in the morning.

Dang. How much do they run in that size? 24 x 48 x .020 = $11 24 x 48 x .040 = $22 24 x 48 x .060 = $35 Thanks, Biliejean. But I suspect this will last for at least the next five years. If I don't use it for model building, there's enough there to resurface a shower enclosure. |

So... finally you got me. My belly says something like "build that freaky awesome HUGE Falcon!", and my head says: "Are you nuts?" Heres the compromise.  >ARMORGUY | Slave I | FineMolds >BILLIEJEAN | Speeder Bike [AMT/MPC] / Stap >DUPES | ? | ? >JIMD | Tie Fighter | Bandai, 1/72 >JOHN EVERETT | Landing Craft, 1/35 [scratchbuild] >KAYTERMARRAM | builds something from the graveyard >MINUTEMAN1636 | ? | ? >KIWIBELG | Gamorrhean Guard & Ewok, KnightModels >MRT51 | ? | ? >TIGRAZOR | Snow Speeder | Revell, 1/52 >TRM | X-Wing | FineMolds |

The details are not so good, Knight Models had good ideas but the quality. I paint the Bobba Fett, the kit was good. The Yoda was very bad. The face was terrible. Sometimes I think the kits are made to collect, not for build. I make some pics before i start the painting. First I have to make a few things done for Heiden and Munster. |

I'm actually somewhat surprised that only a dozen people are biting on a SW GB what with all the new kits available these days. But hey, a dozen people! |

Roland, I have read online somewhere that they did the Boxart with Photoshop and retouching a lot to get it right. I had most of the kits, but the quality was way bad, very bad castings and the overall look a step down. Sadly, because they looked so good from the Boxart. Same goes for the Marvel Figures!
