I was able to get everything painted, sealed with a gloss coat and the 5 decals put on.  I'm not overly happy with the color, but I don't think it looks too bad.

Sure can use that Steve, i'll get it added. I did the AT-AT few years back. Found it a little tricky but i like dit. Wouldn't mind getting the TIE

Bish

Steve, hate to tell you this, but thats a TIE Strike

Striker, Intercepter, Fighter, whatever it takes.

Like Michael Keaton said in Mr Mom, 210, 211. whatever it takes. 

BTW, I picked up a Metal Earth TIE Fighter today and wanted to give it a try. If I can use if for the GB all the better.

I would have to say that both of them are quality renditions of that classic scene.

I'm going to have a slight change in plan.  My choice of aircraft gray won't work because I don't have enough paint in the bottle and I don't know when I'll be able to make it to a hobby shop.  So I'm going with a back up of dark aircraft gray from a rattle can.  On the bright side, no one can show me a real TIE and tell me I'm wrong 

 

 

 

 

Sounds kinda REBELlious if you ask me...

Just sayin.

Shhh...you'll blow my cover 

That's a great start Steve!  The TIE Striker is my first Bandai kit as well and I'm blown away by it.  As you say, the fit is superb.

Steve, hate to tell you this, but thats a TIE Striker

I'll change the roster, nice work so far. I haven't built a Bandai kit either, all going well, the Striker mght be my first as well later this year.

Bish,

I started the TIE Intercepter.

I've never built a Bandi kit but wow, their fix is excelent.

I just need to paint it.

Chris Pratt for the win!

I thought the members of this group build might like this.  It's a re-make of the famous battle between Darth Vader and Obi Wan Kenobi on the Death Star.  Someone did a fantastic job on the CGI.  I apologize for interrupting the GB.

Gary, while that was an "okay" redition of the fight scene, this is thee best ever, IMHO:

 LOL!

Will do.

Thanks for that Gary. I thought it was well put together, and it made the fight more interesting. I liked the link back to Ep III.

Took a quick glance at it last week and thought it was pretty cool. Not sure it fits all that well into 'SW' the original film but still very cool.

No need, anything Star wars related is welcome. I'll check that out tonight.

Cheers guys, got a few ideas for the weathering. Thinking of trying hairspray which i have never done before. It is a good size, its about a fot front to back.

Clint, now there's not a lot to it.

Cheers Cary. It was in Ep I Phantom Menace.

Bish

Made a start on thye AAT a couple of weeks ago, just been working on it now and again. This is the kit.

That‘s one vehicle I don’t remember at all. Looking forward to seeing the final product.

Cary

BTW Bish just how big is that sucka? I'd guess that with the Trade Federation battle droids being almost human sized in 1/32nd she'd be almost 30cm long? 

Bish,

Looking good. I'm looking forward to seeing how you paint and weather this one. 

Yea Bish, those hover tanks are a lot of fun to weather.

Thanks Bod. I have seen a couple of builds that are heavily weathered, i am going to try out some of the things i have picked up doing armour builds on this one.

Thanks G. I managed to get the construction finished last night. A bit of clean up tonight and it will be ready for some paint.

Looks cool Bish! Looking forward to more.

I got home yesterday and started cleaning Han up. Poured some plaster into his legs for a little lower weight. Will put photos up when I have something to show.
