It's easy to do, it's just a quick flash and he sets it down. Yeah...the TOS project...well ah...sadly about how you saw it last. So many projects, so little time to spend on them all

 I set up the hopper on it's own page for easier viewing. Once I get a sample to paint I'll post it up on that page.

Sorry I missed this one maxx.. That is pretty cool. And yes I do remember Luke playing with it.. I would never have thought to scratch one, and especially in 1/72 scale, so that makes it even cooler..

That looks great. was it hard to get all the reference material you needed to build it? considering it never really was in any of the movies.

Actualy it was. The model Luke is playing with in A New Hope is the studio model. There where some really good pics of it published at one time however I don't remember the book.

Woody your wish is my command There are some pics in this folder of the test run, they are the ones still in white styrene. It looked to game / toy like so I rebuilt it. 

SEE FOLDER

Looking Good so for

Post more as you go. I am keeping an eye on this build
