This thing will be incredible when you add the age weathering to it to show its abandoned.

I added some grime weathering.

Yeah, I love these kits. You can't mess them up.

Thanks about the realism, now if I can weather it like it's been abandonded for a few years, or for whatever accounts for years in the Star Wars universe.

Wow, this is really nice looking. You have definately peaked my interest in adding some of those kits to the stash. The AT-ST looks real. Very nice!

Worked some on the AT-ST this weekend.

It will be lying the the dirt for some time, so there lots of weathering to be done.

It's an outstanding kit, like all the Bandai kits I've built. You can mess it up and the fit is exceptional. It's a shame to "destroy" it.

This should be cool. I've seen these at HL and wondered if they were worth getting. This may make up my mind.

Thanks BK.

The meeting are at Foothills Christian Church on State Street Boise. The meeting was last night. The next one should be March 21st. I will be returning from Dallas that day.

That totally fits with the theme, so go for it. And good luck with the contest.

I was invited by a guy that looked like Santa to come to the meetings at HT, but he didn't say when they were. I may be interested in attending provided I actually remember to go, which is why I always fail to show, I forget.

BK,

Not sure if the GB is reserved for actual items or if Sci Fi is allowed.

If so and you don't mind, I'd like to add this AT-ST.

My thought is a destroyed walker. Not sure how exactly but I have some ideas.

I got it because Hobby Town is having a contest where the builder of the best in the region will receive a Bandai kit and the national, will win a trip to the Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim California.

Time has arrived. I guess I need to break open the P-40 and figure out how I'm gonna make the desert crash dio. Once I get that one done I'll work on building the underwater P-40. This is a rolling GB so don't feel pressure to move at a fast pace, I have several other GB commitments too.

This is a cool idea! I have the remnants of Monogram's 1/32 Fw-190A-8 from "the great crash." I have all the parts and have been wondering what to do with it, but haven't wanted to buy a whole set of decals. I can definitely do a wreck diorama of a plane that's been crashed and abandoned for years. Count me in.

Will rust it up, beat it up  and break it and leave it in some field  

That cracked me up to read. I'm looking forward to the winter when I can have some time to work on all these great GB's we have coming up.

Squadran is having a HUGE sale on their Squadron Signal books. I paid between $2.06-$3.63 for everyone I bought. I got 33 books for $100!!! I normally won't spend $20 each on these books, but for less than $5 each, I'm stocking up.

Wow, I was able to check out that website on the towers and that's very cool stuff. So many different styles to choose from. There is no shortage of ideas there for sure.

GFSR, welcome!! I will update the front page for your entry.

I like you handle GFSR. If you have posted on other forms, it is similar, otherwise, you will need to get a picture hosting site. STAY AWAY FROM PHOTOBUCKET. Most people use others such as Flikr, Imageshack, Postimage etc, etc. Some of them have an anual cost, some don't. The ones that cost, other than Photobucket, are usually reasonable and don't have adds to deal with.

The picture posting process isn't that hard and in fact very easy once you do it once.
