                        Well I decided to build all those old Star Wars kits i've been holding on to. This was the first of them,kind of like a warm-up. Next will be the Shuttle Tydirium(SpellChek)Big Smile [:D]. Then the Falcon....Hope y'all like.

                        Hmmmmm? Well if I had to guess the figure is about 5 to 6 inches tall. So if my math is right it's about 1/12. Thanks for the reply.

                        I have always wanted to build a full size speeder bike body and put it on a honda CBR600 chassis.

                        I'd be the biggest nerd in town.

                        No, NO you would'nt. I went to Disney Land's MGM park and there they have a full size one. I did not want to get off of it. I made my wife use half a roll of film, and the whole time i'm making speeder bike sounds and laughing like a little school girl. By the way I'm 30 years old, now this a big nerd...Big Smile [:D]

                        I could build it safely no problem but the scene at the end of Easy Riders comes to mind.

                        I think your handling will be totally gone.

                        Seen what happened to a friend that tried to drive his GPZ900 Ninja without the fairing, he is lucky that his head missed the curbstone by about 2 inches otherwise ....

                        Thanks for the reply guys. I never head-butted a curb, but while dirt biking I head-butted a tree. And the guy driving broke the old collar bone. Wow, good times.

                        I really like your build, still got one of those on the shelf.
                        Still undecided when I will build it as I remember a few problem areas that I want to fix
                        next time round, also plan on replacing a few items with my own made ones.
                        Might also repose the figure as I find the pose way too static(boring).

                        Time for you to get started on that Lambda Class Shuttle now.

                        I had one about 8 years ago and never finished it. Not sure what happened to it to be honest. I remember some of the parts being a little thick.

                        Very nice job! I remember having one of those, but like most of my other models from my youth, parts disappeared and I chucked the half-finished kit into the trash. AAnyone got a canopy for a glue-together X-Wing? Big Smile [:D]

                        Make your own from clear sheet styrene and don't forget to give it a nice tint as they had in the movies. Wink [;)]

                        And you remember corretly, something I found with all the kits is thick parts. These kits just beg "Please Sir, dont build me straight from the box, I beg you Sir." Blush [:I] Anyway

                        I have you know that part is very sneaky, I helped my nephew build one and that was the only part he lost.

                        Great job. A friend of mine built one those back years ago. Seeing yours brings back some good memories. Hope I can come across one those one of these days so I can build one. Had the chance a couple of years ago but didn't get it....wish I had.

                        Good job.
