Lol Porkbits, sorry if it were Kirk's Enterprise or Babylon 5's Whitestar I might consider it!

As to the Solo movie, well it's gone though a half-dozen scripts and multiple directors. It's starting to smell like the original 'Casino Royale' which had the same issues and turned into a royal fustercluck of the first order. Ron Howard is a pretty darn good director but I don't think even he can salvage this.

Funny thing I heard, as bad as the last movie did in China since the Chinese have very little experience with 'Star Wars' they're dropping the SW name altogether and calling it 'Ranger Solo'...

Lol, yeah, I'm a big SW guy. :-) 

I'm trying to temper my expectations for Solo, especially bc of all the production problems. Guess we'll see. 

Apparently there IS a resistance bomber available, as an expansion for the X-Wing game:

LINK (U.S. Amazon)

Pretty cool. I've heard of people repainting those wargaming ships and that they make pretty decent models.

Oh btw I saw this yesterday- an over a yard/metre long model of Jabba's sail barge by Kenner. That is if they raise the money though a Kickstarter program. Only five hundred bucks US!!!

I saw that! That's insane. Not only more $$$ than the Bandai PG Falcon, but four feet long lol? Absolutely no room for that in my house. 

I mean, unless it was a four-foot long Bandai PG Star Destroyer. Then I'd make room. 

Sorry for the thread necromancy, but just wanted to drop in and say I'm already psyched for the next movie, even though it's a year away. Does that make me insane? :-) 

Hoping there will be another group build, Bish (think so?)!

In any event, almost finished with this guy (a peek!): 

Next up, TIE Interceptor. 

Haven't really tackled the Bandai Falcon. Still screwing up the courage to do so. 

Hope life is treating everyone well.

PB, my plan is to start the next installment on May 1st next year, unless they move the release date of Ep IX that is.

Good to see you back and some nice work on that.

Oh wow that chipping an wear looks perfect Porkbits! I haven't even touched my A-Wing since the GB ended. 

Frankly I'm looking forward to the next GB here more than the movie. I really need an excuse to start on my Han (Harrison friggin' Ford- the ONLY Han Solo) Solo figure. 

Thanks, guys! Finally able to log back in, so looks like FS finally resolved forum issues.

B-Wing almost done:

...and I've started the Interceptor. :-) 

Looking forward to the next GB. Although by then, think I'll have built all of Bandai's SW kits I want to build lol, so maybe I'll just be a spectator...?

In any event, hoping everyone has a good holiday!

PB

Magnificent job on the weathering and chipping there!

Thanks, G! Appreciate it. 

That is looking very nice PB, can't wait to see it done.

Thanks, Bish. :-) 

It's pretty much done, so will post some pics soon. 

OK, then! Life, work, etc. but finally finished a few builds, so I'll start posting some pics if you guys don't mind (B-Wing will be next). Maybe will get everyone revved up for the next movie and GB. :-)

In any event, here's the Partisan X-Wing from Rogue One. Kit is the Revell re-boxing of the Fine Molds' ship.

Hope you like and everyone is doing well! (and sry for usual crappy iPhone photography).

Wow great job there PB!!! Love the worn look, perfect for the SW universe!

Thanks, G! :-) 

Have to figure these X-Wings would be really beat up.
