That's a really cool build Bruce!  There's a lot of detail packed in there for that scale.

Bish, I've decided what I'm going to build.  There seems to be a lot more Rebel Scum popping up that need to be shown the might of the Empire.  I'm in with Bandai's 1/72 TIE Striker.

Hogfanfs, others have already lighted the engines AND cockpit!  As for me?  No, I‘m not gonna do it.  Besides, if I lit the cockpit, I’d have to make a really tiny porno pinup poster for the rear bulkhead, like the studio prop had.

I wonder when will Bandai give us a 1/72 TIE Bomber and 1/12 Imperial Probe Droid?  The Shizuoka show is happening next month, so I’m hoping!

Thanks for jumping on board guys.I'll get the roster updated firstchance i get.

Bob, will be looking forwardto the Stryker. If time allows i might do that mnyself later in the GB, so will be watching yours closely.

Even though i have done the 72nd Multi Verse bomber, i would deffinetly get anotehr if it came out in plastic. And a 1/12th probe droid would be nice to have aswell. I have done the 72nd one and its a nice subject but a larger one would be even better.

It's nice to know the blockade runner has the size to be lighted. And, yes, I'd love to see 1/12 Probe Droid, i'd even settle for 1/48.

Being rebellious every now and then is a good thing lol !!

 

 

 

 

Agreed, but i think blowing up a Death Star may be taking things a tad to far. A strongly worded letter might have been sufficant.

 

This is the Emperor's take on the Death Star being blown up:

Lol you got to love robot chicken ok I will throw in my pop corn bucket At-AT.

The Empire is represented here quite well.  

I'm going to check the Rebel flavored offerings at the local hobby lobby.

Hi guys,

a lot of nice selections! I think I am keeping with the original trilogy this time around. Bish, if you would sir, put me down for Bandai's 1/72 B-wing. If time permits I will try something else. Also, I am currently working Annigrand's 1/2256 star destroyer, so that will slow my build time down.

Just personal opinion, but I thought the Solo movie was decent. I'd put in under rogue one but ahead of the other disney movies.

That made me giggle.

Good to see you jumping in guys. That B-Wing loks nice, will be watching that, thinking of adding it to my small scum (sorry, Rebel) fleet.

My Imperials need someone to shoot at.

Roster update, if i am missing anyone or anything is wrong, let me know.

Ted, i await your commitment to the cause.

I'll just leave this here...

You beat me to it, lol. Watching the celebration stream on youtube

First post updated with the name of Ep IX. For those who have watched the trailer, is it my imagination, or was that Palpatine laughing.

I believe you are correct, it does sound like Palpatine. But, I had to take a second and third look, and realized that was one of the detroyed Death Stars in the ocean.

I woundered if it was. Given the size and shape, it didn't seem it could be anything else.

Or it could be a heap of discarded ideas, old tropes and cliches which the current Mouseketeers are drawinng their inspiration from.

Apologies.  Much anger in me still from The Last Movie.  Finished I am from watching anymore.  Focus will I on making nice model kits.  But from the sequels NOT.

I will join. I have a snow speeder. so I am in with the rebel scum!

Glad to have you on board. Which kit is it?

It's the bandai 1/48 snowspeeder.

Yeah, I heard about McDiamid coming out after the trailer at the con. Not idea how they'll work Palpatine in unless he's a force ghost or in flashbacks. I have no idea how they could have him survive the destruction of Death Star II or being a clone without it being silly.  

Even the title, is Reye now to be a Skywalker? Luke is dead. Some have suggested 'Skywalker' is now a generic term for a Jedi like Caesar for emperior. Guess we'll have to wait to find out.

Thanks, i will get you on the list.

Real G, I can relate to the anger you have. I was considering not going to see the last movie also, then I figured after 40+ years invested in this franchise I may as well see it to the end. Who knows, hopefully we will get new model subjects out of this.

Sorry about the rant.  I am just so disgusted with the films from the prequels on.  I wanted to like them because, hey they are Star Wars, but just could not in the end.  The Last Jedi was The Last Star Wars for me.

Rogue-I irritated me with useless cameos and vehicle designs lifted from the OT reject pile, but the surprise ending changed my final evaluation.  So it is the only one I'll watch from time to time.

Funny, this hatred I feel not.  

OK, Star Wars peeps, they have a Yoda-Speak Generator Here

Hoping this might put a smile on your faces!

Or: This might put a smile on your faces hoping!  

Yeah, I'm a nerd! LOL! And easily amused!

I've been searching for a model so i can contribute...

Is most everything star wars snap fit and painted?  

I'd rather not do a monster like the millennium falcon, star destroyer, or death star.  But i still want to glue and paint. 

T e d

Post script: i like all the movies... hey, they're star wars!  But i have to admit jar jar, the flying nun, and the slapstick in the last jedi tests my patience.
