Hello, new guy here . . . .

Welcome to the Forums and welcome back to the hobby. Hmmmmmmmmm!!!! Building 1/32 and from the number of kits you've built so far this year, I'd say you got it bad. My name is Jim, and I am a plasticaholic. I love the smell of plastic in the morning. I build whatever strikes my fancy at the time. It also looks like you enjoy what you're doing. That's the name of the game. When it stops being enjoyable, that's all she wrote. Looking forward to seeing your pics.

Welcome aboard and back to the hobby. Would love to see trhose builds, especially the Stuka. I Looooooooooooooove Stuka's.

Flyitlikeyoustoleit,

Ahhhhh the Star Wars kits.  I have a "youth wish list" and a plain Jane TIE is on it!  Should would like to see your build.  Which kit is it?  Welcome!!!

Welcome to the forums.

When I was younger, I believe I had the X-wing, and Darth Vader's tie fighter.  I have no idea where they are now...probably recycled.

Enjoy.

Welcome back to the plastic and the Forum.

Eagle90, the TIE Fighter I built last year was from the AMT/Ertyl kit that comes with 2 TIEs (roughly 1/51scale) and the Death Star Surface mounting base. I built one of the TIEs as is, OOB, (more or less) and the other sacrificed itself for my TIE Rum Runner creation, which is pictured in my avatar image.

Ah the memories. I had em all G-J. No wait . . . still HAVE them  ...  the X-Wing, Darth's TIE, the Shuttle Tyderium, Speeder Bike, Slave 1, Oh and let's not forget, the Holy Grail of Sci Fi mods : the Millenium Falcon, . . . . . . all in various states of decay and disrepair. A few have faired well over the years and others I've restored and / or improved.  I've got to get some pics up for all to see and chuckle over.

Cool, that's the one I was thinking of getting.  Didn't know it has 2 TIE's in it until now.  Very cool.  All the models you mentioned you have I have sitting on the shelves too.  I'll put them together soon......really.....no really, stop laughing. 

I hope you have a good time in here. Lots of good folks, advice and conversation. Would like to see that Stuka. Like Bish I like Stukas......alot!!

One day, I'll get brave enough to show you guys what I did to my Stuka. It's an absolute crime against Stuka-kind. I worked so hard getting that thing to look the way I wanted and then  >>>>&*$#%@$&<<<<

One of these days.  Right now, I'm still in mourning . . . . . .

We'll be here. There is no shame here....only talent and good times.

Maybe you can repent your sins by building 2 more. That might please the Stuka gods.
