I'm leaning towards the Dec 16th Start date and run for a year. But, I am flexible. I've scaled down my number of GB's so 7 months would be fine too. 

I'm also sort of partial to the Dec 16th start and year-long group, if only because I'm so slooooooow and this would give me plenty of time. :-) So my motives are selfish. 

Also, Bish, just a quick correction to the round-up--my X-Wing is 1/48 (not 1/72).

Thanks!

Thnaks PB, and sorry about that. I took the details from the front of this threa and i had it down as 72nd there as well. Have correcteboth now.

Seems as though a year long buld is the most popular.

Might give me the chance to build my X-Wing as well. Not quite ready for the 1/4 Boba Fett yet.

No problem! Not a big deal.

Who makes a 1/4th Boba Fett? Just curious.....

Guys, just a quick heads up, didn't want to start a new thread so just thought i wouldpost here.

For those waiting for the next insalment or those who had completly forgotten and those who missed this last time round and are regretting it, the time is almost upon us for another Star Wars GB.

So, just a quick reminder on details. Star Wars GB Ep III will begin on Dec 16th (release date of Rouge One) and will run until the release of Ep VIII (currently set for release on Dec 15 2017). Will be open to all Star Wars related build from the movies, expanded universe as well as Star Wars inspired.

Keep your eyes peeled for the build thread in a couple of weeks and get those Star Wars kits out and ready to go.

Sorry PB,no idea how i missed this. Screamin use to make a range of 1/4 figures, including Boba. They are long out of buisness but the kits can be found now and again.

I was beginning to think I had missed this. Looking forward to this.

Thanks, Bish! Hope everyone is doing well. 

Already know which kit I'll be doing. :-) :-) :-)

At two feet, it's a no-brainer for my home office. Just might have to rely on "secondary channels" to get it.

Well, fear not, and it will be with us soon.

Ok, thats annoying. I am at work and that link is not allowed on this computer, now i will have to wait until i get home. Something 2 feet tall has me curious.

 I've scaled down my number of GB's. 

 

It's hard to believe what I type sometimes! LOL!!

Anyway, I think I have something that will qualify!

It's two feet *long* and something wedge shaped. :-)

Anigrand?

Believe it or not--a new tool kit from Zvezda...!

That is really cool! I found a link here

Now i wasn't expecting that. That came out of no where, i thought Disney was being strict with the license. I will be watching that one, i am in need of a decent SD.

Bish, you think Mother Russia cares what a little mouse has to say?!?!?

I check out the Zvezda website, and I see they are selling Disney Cars/Planes models kits. I'm guessing they do have some kind of licening agreement.

Not reading anything definite on the internet, but it looks like there is a relationship between Revell and Zvezda. Sound like Revell had re-boxed some Zvezda kits in the past. Speculation is Revell may do the same with this Zvezda SD kit. Interesting...

Probably not. But i was just looking on the scalemates link you posted and one of the guys said they have a general licence. I bet Disney didn't account for SW when they gave it out.

Revell did recently release a 1/35th Sd.Kfz 251 Ausf B that was a re-box of the Zvezda kit. Looking at that SD kit, it seems to have a similar look to the Revell Star Wars kits, so i wounder if they are working together on this.

Thanks for the reminder Bish. Really looking forward to 'Rogue One', much more excited about this film than 'TFA'. I may have to join you guys this time. Probably some sort of Rebellion starfighter, most likely an X-Wing. I'll have to see how things go. 

Cool star destroyer, wish I had room for one! Funny I haven't seen that many kits for the new film other than the AT-ACT though.

Be great to have you aboard G. I was not to hot on Rouge one at first,then i saw the first trailer and i was hooked. By the way, where did you see an AT-ACT kit. I have not been to impressed with the new kit releases. Revells are just FM kits with a high price tag and Bandai has not really impressed me, they seem to toy like.

Yeah, I loved the trailer! 

The AT-ACT kit is a Revell Snaptite Build and Play so I don't expect much of it. Sounds like it would take a lot of work to build something more than toylike with it.

Umm... Have you guys seen this yet: Link

I would look at getting one... But it is an old article.

Thanks, had not seen that. Thats the other part of the Revell SW i am not to impressed with. Maybe i am being a snob, but these don't do it for me. I have been really dissapointed with model releases since Disney took over, but i guess i should not be surprised.

I remeber seeing that a while back but have heard nothing since, which does not surprise me with Dragon. I think the 35th AT-AT will be to pricey for most people.

Not only the price but I'm not sure I'd have anywhere to put a 1/35th AT-AT. 

I'd love to see some 1/35th stormtroopers and rebel infantry though.

Wouldn't be the same witho0ut you Bob. Got plenty of time to pick somthing.

Well, after fighting this beast for a few months:

...think while waiting for the Zvezda SD I'll do something small, fun, and easy for this GB:

...and finally, Bish, the Bandai kits are not toy-like at all. Their Y-Wing is probably one  of the better kits I've built and the detail is amazing. Here's my build:

Hope everyone in the States has a great Thanksgiving, and looking forward to the Group starting!
