I'll let you slide. Besides, there's the entire inside of the hut, Luke, and Yoda to be finished. Tell me if you are willing to wait till the first and I'll put you down. And also, I did put a heads up in Sci-fi about a week ago, plus or minus a few days. Don't blame me...

Puma_Adder,

Crossovers mean that if you have that kit in another GB, it is also allowed in this one. Some people don't like that, but I'm fine with it. OK, I've got you on the board!

Ok. now I have to hunt down a Star Wars kit........ I hope my LHS in NH still has that slave one kit............

Some people spend their whole lives wondering if they made a difference. Gundams don't have that problem.

dont get your hopes up just yet! I dont know if it is still there! after all it has been almost a year since I saw it last. I may have to hunt down a trio of A-wings instead.

WEll, the Salve is pretty easy to find where I'm from. The A-wing thing would look cool also! Maybe flaming a TIE?

Fantastic Plastic made a 1/72 resin one which I believe still may be available. You can see mine here.

http://www.studiostarforge.com/products_gallery.htm

Another 1/72 version which looks a lot better is also about to be released as a garage kit, don't have the details to hand.

Anyway, I'm in on this one! I will probably go with either a FineMolds Millenium Falcon, or ARC-170 which I have in the stash.

Great idea for a group build!

Great to have you and Sign - Welcome [#welcome]

! I never saw that kit. How recent of a kit is it? We now have 25 Star Wars nerds

(errrr, casual builders

) Let's see if we can up the number to 40! (50 would be awesome, but I'm not getting worked up about that)

It was the last kit issued by AMT/Ertl as part of the Episode 1 line. I bought two of them along with a few of the Naboo fighters and the 3-pack of droid fighters. It's probably from 2000 or so.

Here is a link to the kit:

Oh, now I remember it. IT's just been so long since I've seen episode 1 kits. I assume that they wern't too popular. By the way, you can build more than 1 kit. If you wanna give those vulture droids a shot, tell me!
