Nice, will add it to the roster. And in case you need any ideas for a what if AT AT, here's one option.

Welcome aboard wayne. Is that the 2 or 4 legged walker variety.

Welcome aboard wayne. Is that the 2 or 4 legged walker variety.

i really need to have my head examined but i will join with an armored walker thingie in an unusual paint scheme.

i posted on the SCIFI GB that anything that fits the rules he is a good crossover there so no conflict at all.

Got you added bad. I am looking forward to seeing that, might finally convince me to get some of those snap kits, there's some interesting subjects there.

I took a look at my local hobby store and found a Revell V-19 Torrent for 20% off, so count me in for that!

Ye, that's what I thought. But it seems a lot of the small AM companies are no longer around. There were 2 more that did AM sets for the falcon that have gone. Well, with luck, the new movies might re light the interest in Star wars models.

I was afraid of that, it was the first time I've been on the site. Hopefully he's not out of business, looked like some very quality items.

I have seen that Bruce but I think that message has been up for months now, which is what makes me think he is no longer in business. I might give it a week and try again.

Speaking of After market, does anyone know the status of falcon Kits. I e-mailed them a few weeks back about the Millennium falcon AM set but have not had a reply. I have wondered for a while if they were still active as the site doesn't appear to have been up dated but can't find any info on it.

Bish,

Go to the Falcon Kits website, he was hit with a virus which has affected his email capabilities. You can read about it in more detail on the site.

Thanks Bruce, they look interesting. I did build the MPC kit many years ago but didn't quite finish it and have been thinking about getting another but with some extras. I know Star Ship Modeller do a few bit but that one looks rather nice.

Bruce, where did you get those parts from.

Bish,

Here is the link:  Avery

Scroll down and you'll see several resin items they make.

Steve, I have thought about carrying this on for VIII and IX. If there is enough support, I will.

The resin parts came in for the Star Destroyer, they look pretty good:

Granted, I have a few other GB's I need to finish, but I'm looking forward to getting started on this Star Wars GB!

As someone who's built too many Gundam models, I've been impressed with Bandai's engineering of their kits. Also at the moment the exchange rate of dollar to yen is in our favor. Shipping from Japan using SAL isn't too unreasonable - I'm currently awaiting a Gundam model from Japan and shipping using SAL was about $10. Takes a few weeks, but if you're patient it's not too bad. Check out hlj.com!

I don't know why I didn't think to check HLJ sooner, thanks for pointing that out Badlanguage! Both the kit and shipping prices are very reasonable, I think I might have to pull the trigger on an X-Wing soon. The kits I really want to build are the Y-Wing and TIE Interceptor, but oh well - I'll keep an eye out for the TIE snap kit and wait to see if Bandai releases a Y at some point in the future. Maybe another GB for episode VIII?

I should have mentioned it as well. I bought my x-wing from HLJ. It was by far less expensive than the offerings on eBay.

I really like the lit up thrusters! I'd be up for another x wing based on that.

Some nice looking stuff there. I certainly like the look of the Stormtrooper and Darth Vardar as well as the destroyer. I already all the 72nd Fine Molds TIE's and other ships, but those do look rather interesting.

Bruce, I think you forgot to post that link. And now you have my mouth watering. A new Star Destroyer would be very nice.

Bish, I moved the link in the original post to where it can be seen. "Click here for link".

I apologize for that!

The author of the article was not sure if they will produce this Star Destroyer, But, if they did, it would be huge!

Here's a link about the new Star Wars products coming from Bandai. Not sure if all these product will be made available, but that Star Destroyer sure looks impressive!

Well that's disappointing to hear that. I wonder how the Bandai kits will compare. Looks like that 72nd falcon is going to be way out of reach now.

Can't wait to see that x-wing. Which red designation will it be? Red-5?

i'm not sure what designation it will be. I'd like to do something newer, er uh older? than Red-5

Thanks, Bish. I did come across the older kits but they seem very much toy-like and unavailable, nonetheless. I found a fine molds 1/48, which was lucky because they are an endangered species. 

Yeah, Raven. I'll be interested to see how Bandai does with all the new licensing and when they will be released. It does look like the bandai 1/72 x wing is out.

Bish, I wouldn't be surprised if those snap kits built up nicely - they seem to be much better made than when we were kids. Still, iit would feel like cheating to only build one for the GB.

I just found out last night that Fine Molds lost the SW license to Bandai last summer, which explains why the FM kits seem to be out of stock everywhere I look. I did see quite a few Bandai kits on Ebay (X-Wing and...TIE Advanced? Interesting!) . They're reasonably priced but shipping from Asia can be pricey.

Nice, Bruce!

I may not do the red x-wing, thinking of something different after I read this article about Blue One

Now that looks interesting Bruce. Certainly going to light up the GB.

Oh my! Look what Santa brought a little early!
