Look whos back!!!!

After many headaches, I finnaly got my account running.

So does anyone want to keep doing this GB, or do you just want to drop it.

If anyone does want to continue I have the Finemolds X-wing, the Finemolds Jedi Star Fighter, and the Revel Republic Star Destroyer.

In progress pics of my X-wing:

If you ask me, the pilot looks like he's playing an invisible GameBoy.

In order to get my work area cleaned up and ready for kit building, I packed up and boxed a bunch of kits for storage. Among them where the MPC / AMT X-Wing and Darth TIE I wanted to work on for this build. Where they ended up is anyone's guess. :(  This may be a good excuse to buy some of the Fine Molds kits to replace them. ;)

Yes, hopefully it is still going.  Kind of been quiet though...

As of now I (Uss Fletcher) am taking over the running of this GB.  My brother's (Executer) account is experiencing some difficultys so he has asked me to take over.  I probably will not be building a model for this GB.   In the sort-of unlikely event that I do, I will probably build a finemoldes Squint (TiE Interceptor.  My brother is planning on getting a kit shortly so when he does he will [post using my account.  When he does, he'll sign it Executer at the top. Thanks for joining!

Is this GB still going? If so, I'd love to join in. I have two assembled Fine Molds TIEs waiting for airbrushing (one TIE, one Interceptor), and an X-Wing and JSF in their boxes.

I'm going to drop back out of this GB for the time being, as the kit I got on ebay, whilst complete, needs more work to rectify than I anticipated.  Also, and more importantly, the other builds I'm on are taking up too much time.  I'm sure I'm not the only one to experience this!  Good luck to everyone else with the builds.

A very nice job, it fooled me as being airbrushed.

Looks very good.

I have the same fighter in Obi-Wan's colors and I was thinking to weather it, too. Your work gave me an impulse to proceed.

What's the end date for the SWGB? I can't find it in the old posts. Maybe the dates should be at the top post with the rules?

Now to dig those kits out....

Hey people! I havent posted in a while but i`m going to today, the snow speeder is comming along very well, in fact so well that I might be done by the end of the week so i can start on the other group builds.

The snowspeeder that i`m doing is Luke Skywalkers, NOT Wedges. The AMT offering has red decals those are for Wedge, Lukes was gray, kinda bland that is why they went with red.

here are some progress pics i hope everyone likes and if you have any questions let me know.

Like I said before the build went very good! so i`m finished, I hope everyone enjoyed the progress pics!, now here are the finished pics!
