Star Wars GB

OMFG, WOW

I've had that kit kicking round since 2001. I never thought it would (could?) look decent, but wow, I actually feel like building it now, thanks.

Sorry for this GB posting being a copy of the WIP, but:

This one is wrapped up.

Great looking stuff here folks!!  Looks like I found this one about 50 weeks too late!  Any chance of a 2010 Star Wars group build?  How about a BSG group build....something different.  Yep...you guessed it...I have two unopened BSG kits under my bench.  Again, top notch work everyone!!

Besides "Thank you gents" I'd like to say something:

How do I collect my GB badge?

(Or did I even earn it yet?) 

Just wanted to post a message.

My AT AT is finally done. I just scraped in before the deadline, but I got this miserable kit done.

I have put more time into this beastie than just about any kit I have done!  Sanding and fitting and scratchbuilding detail really added a lot of time to this build lemme tell ya. I thought it would be a quick throw together in a few days deal. Far from it.

Anyways, pictures will be posted up tomorrow. I need to get to sleep soon :) its 2 am and I just gave it a final dullcote.

Here are the pictures. Sorry about the crappy lighting.

Again, this is AMT/ERTL's AT AT imperial walker. A really ill fitting kit, but the end result is pretty nice.

So there you have it. Got her in just in the nick of time.

So here are the results of my A-Wing build. I used the old Ertl kit with some modifications to the cockpit:  <a href="http://s705.photobucket.com/albums/ww54/xwingfan/?action=view&current=100_0769.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i705.photobucket.com/albums/ww54/xwingfan/100_0769.jpg" border="0" alt="Unfinished Cockpit"></a>

And here is the finished cockpit: <a href="http://s705.photobucket.com/albums/ww54/xwingfan/?action=view&current=100_0788.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i705.photobucket.com/albums/ww54/xwingfan/100_0788.jpg" border="0" alt="Finished Cockpit"></a>

I also added new launch tube trenches using halved drinking straws and styrene tubing: <a href="http://s705.photobucket.com/albums/ww54/xwingfan/?action=view&current=100_0890.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i705.photobucket.com/albums/ww54/xwingfan/100_0890.jpg" border="0" alt="Finished A-Wing: Port Side"></a>

And here are a few more shots of the finished model:  <a href="http://s705.photobucket.com/albums/ww54/xwingfan/?action=view&current=100_0889.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i705.photobucket.com/albums/ww54/xwingfan/100_0889.jpg" border="0" alt="Finished A-wing: Bow on"></a>

I had a lot of fun with this build and the weathering.

Thanks for lettign me jump in!!!
