VERY cool opening page...gotta get shopping for this!!

Absolutely smashing Bish!  Who would dare deny enlistment!

Eagle90

Bish that may be the coolest badge ever, may the force stay with you.

Bish, epic introduction and badge! 

Just need to acquire a few more AM goodies and I'll be set to go!

What is thy bidding, my master?

In keeping with my AFV build leanings and with my penchant for bringing order to the Galaxy I will be doing the AT-AT that I have in my stash. it's the old MPC kit that I have had for many years sitting collecting dust.

"....prepare your troops for a surface attack"

I'm in.  AMT ROTJ Tie Interceptor, my Master.

Not sure I can resist Star Wars! Especially with the new movie and new Bandai kits (X-Wing and TIE apparently already available in Japan). Probably not join until next year, though. Gotta do the Kitty Hawk Bronco first. :-)

Eagle90

Absolutely smashing Bish!  Who would dare deny enlistment!

Eagle90

Who indeed

Glad you like it guys and great to have you all on board.

Stik, I was just looking at Starship modeller this morning and they have a improvement set for that kit. Its a bit pricey, but you know me, just can't resist. But from my previous build of it, its a nice kit once done and I don't think there are any major issue with it from what I recall.

lewbud, be interested to see that one. I've built the FM 72nd one but I do like the larger kits as well and have been giving that one some thought.

Porkbits, no worries, sign up when ever you can, replacements will be needed throughout the campaign. 

Bish, I built that kit when it was originally released back in Empire Strikes Back days of the early 80s. Any upgrades I may make this time will be whatever I can do with what I have onhand here. It should be fun!

Bish,

I'm in with a 1/32, AMT Trade Federation Tank.

Steve

Nice choice Steve, glad to have you on board.

SP, look forward to seeing what you do with it.

Bish, she'll be in the blood red of the Emperor's personal guard.  That was my plan for the kit in the last Star Wars GB.

O, now that's an interesting idea. Seems like you have had this on hold for a few years.

Ah jeez, now your saying that... I can rarely leave a kit alone on my own...

ok, in keeping with the spirit of this GB I gotta share this for the folks who have not yet seen this oldie but goodie...

I've not seen that before, that's brilliant. I like the intro. ''All suspects are guilty, period'' Excellent.

Bish

O, now that's an interesting idea. Seems like you have had this on hold for a few years.

Yeah, it has been on the back burner for quite a while.

Glad to see this one up and going. I'm in Bish, put me in for Screamin's Chewbacca and C-3P0 in 1/4 scale! I will hopefully be able to finish my other group build by years end. Really looking forward to this.

-Stephen

I'd like to get in on this, if I can find a kit somewhere between snap-together and the more serious Fine Molds.

Anyway, here's something I came across today. Looks like a scene from "Bayeux Wars: The Tapestry Strikes Back" 

Stephen, nice choice. I am still trying to get my hands on that damn Stormtrooper. Will defiantly be looking forward to those 2.

Steve, o that's good. Finally real evidence of the true beginnings of the great saga.

OK, only slightly off topic but...it's out!

Note rectangular radar dish. :-)

I just saw it myself and was going to post a link.  I noticed the dish as well

Just this second saw it on the news. WOW. They still have TIE's and all the large ships from the earlier movie. And I like the black trooper with the sabre. Thanks for posting the link pork. I couldn't see that one as I don't have QuickTime, but its on you tube.

ok, the one I posted was not the official trailer, but I did find it on you tube as well. I guess that dish must have replaced the one knocked off inside the second Death Star.

I really want to dig out the X-wing now! 

Amazing how that fanfare still gives me a little chill 37 years after I first heard it. I'm not 100% on board yet though. something about that teaser struck me as a little un-Star Wars-y, but I can't put my finger on it. Maybe I'm just old & grumpy.

Hey all,

Really excited about about this GB. I've been working on a Fine Molds 1/72 Falcon over in the Sci Fi Hard Science GB. I'd love to include the updates into this GB... Bish gave me the okay to do so. I'm already halfway through the build so it won't be an official entry here in this GB. But I'd love to get your feedback on it as I progress.

I've got a lot of the build completed but I'm in the process of lighting it as well, so that's taking some time. I'm using the Paragrafix PE set for the cockpit and engine fans. I bought resin fans for the engines and resin engine nozzles for the rear engines. The base will be made up of death star tiles, as seen below.

I drilled a hole in the bottom turret and epoxied a nut inside to attach to the gooseneck.

Drilled a hole in the base and dry fit it all together.

Also did a little work on the engine grill. Tried to make it look like it's seen a lot of heat.

More to come!

Don't worry Steve, there still a year to get into the mood. Grab a Star Wars model and dive into the GB, that will help.

I haven't been to the cinema in a long time, but I defiantly plan on going for this.

Senor, looking really nice there, can't wait to see more.

As Senor said, I gave him the UK to post progress pics of this as an unofficial entry to get us all hyped up. He his going to dive in later with a resin X-Wing as his official entry.

Right! I forgot to mention that I have a salvo v4 resin x-wing on order. It'll be awhile before it gets here but when it does I'll submit that as my official entry.
