                        Well, its really called at-st all terrain scout transport, they are availible now, but the detail sucks and they are snap tite.
                        The Maschinen krieger stuff is much cooler and is a real glue together kit and is more "feasible" rendition of an automated walker that can defend and attack. and of course they arent cheap either and there is only to be 3000 made. The gans is the shutoral panzer, they also have a Panzer Aufkalarungs T.W.-47 Krote, now the Mercenary forces have their version of a two legged walker called a Jerry H.A.F.S, if you like scifi and armor you`ll love this stuff too!

                        i always wanted to build an imperial walker, not the AT-AT but the 2-legged. (AT-AS i think it is called).........

                        Hell yeah they do Geoff! I dont know if you are familiar with them, but they are just futuristic war machines and you build them just like normal armor!

                        that's pretty cool looking! I've never built anything Sci-Fi but I love star wars so I was thinking of attempting one of their kits....

                        the gans looks really cool.....

                        Can I join this one too?? With the start day so far away I think I can safely get some of the other GBs out of the way for it. (If my arthritis doesn't act up). When again was that start date??

                        The kit is undecided at the moment, but will probably be one of the bombers in my stash, B-17F, B-24J, B-25J, B-1B or possibly my 1/72 B-2A.

                        I love the yoda badge, but think that the "Old Guns" text needs to be lighter rather than the red you have. At least, my old eyes cannot read it very well.

                        How about Yoda? For a badge, that is... You don't go much older than that! Wink [;)]

                        But then again, the Simpson-idea is allways a good one!

                        Doesn't mean anything of the sort. But I do have one on pre with GM. To paraphrase Oddball, it's supposed to be one Mother beautiful kit!! But we'll see how it goes. I've got lots on the shelf and lots on pre so I won't be hurting for a kit. Big problem will be deciding which one to break out. Pretty much guarantee it won't be a wingy thingy, though!!

                        btw...I think under 35 should be "Doesn't know how to..." lol

                        And Geoff, I'll really be looking forward to the GB. Thanks.

                        "Apprentice Old Fart"........... I like it.

                        Bill........ maybe YOU should be running this. hahaha. so does that mean you are doing a tristar IVD for this or was that just a ramble?
                        hahaha

                        good idea on the groupbuild, bill. I'll start it when this one nears completion.

                        This sounds like a group that needs my OF index.
                        80 and up =Master Old Fart
                        70 and up = Senior Old Fart
                        60 and up = Old Fart
                        50 and up = Honorary Old Fart
                        40 and up = Apprentice Old Fart (can be reduced to 35 for this GB)
                        Under 40 (35) = To young to know what it's all about

                        Put me down for something. If I decide now, I will undoubtedly forget by November. What was it I was supposed to do?
