Star wars models

QUOTE: Originally posted by Model Museum QUOTE: Originally posted by kaleu Has anyone built the FineMolds Tie Interceptor? My LHS has it in stock and I'm curious to find out what modellers think of it. I did all the Fine Molds models. The Interceptor like all their kits are great quality and superb detail. Like the Tie-Fighter each wing comes in multiple parts(exterior frame, interior frame and the solar panels seperate). Yep, you read that right no more masking of those pesky panels for painting. Cockpit and body is the same as the Tie Fighers, nicely detailed office with plenty of detail(decals) and masks for the windows. All their kits also come with a nice stand. My recommendation: Why are you still sitting there, you should be over at the shop getting it. Honestly a different world from the old SW kits.

Thanks for the information. I mostly build armor, but I very much enjoy sci-fi kits. I wonder if Fine Molds could be talked into releasing a new Star Destroyer kit?

Wouldn't mind seeing the Tyderium again myself. I built it when I was a kid,and not too
bad a model.
I just bought the AT-AT this morning. The only one my LHS has in so far.
While it's fairly accurite the fit of this thing is horrible.I'm half done building it though already.
It'll be great for practicing my pastel weathering.

I haven't seen the Tydirium Shuttle either, Calvin.
But yeah, that other stuff is X-spensive!!!
And was it released here in Japan first? That can't be!

Thanks for the link! Cool stuff.
Took a lot of huntin' and clickin' to get to the pix, though.
Here's a link straight to the pix:
