                        Sign - Welcome [#welcome]I would like to know if anybody would be interested in a Star Wars GB. If so here are the rules: it must be something from the star wars movies. You must post pics of the Model as Many times as possible when building it, and of the completed modle. It can have PE or Resin or Aftermarket, and it can be scracth-built. but it must be somethin out of the movies or something related to closely related to star wars. well, let me know if anyones interested.

                        I'm already committed to the Gundam Group Build, but I'm sure I'll have time to join this also depending on the deadline.

                        Me ... Me ... I want to join this GB.
                        I'll make a small Darth Vader with two Stormtroopers dio.
                        The troopers will be OOB while I'll have to make some work on Darth changing his pose and improving the figure.

                        Perfect timing. I was thinking of asking if people were interested in one too, so I'm definately in. When do we want to start / end?

                        Put me in as a tentative "YES" as I'm committed to the Gundam GB as well. If I do join, I'll build the AMT/ERTL Speeder Bike.

                        For instructions, I though HLL had some on their site, but I couldn't find them... Sorry.

                        Depends on the timeline, I've never built one but I would love to do a Tie fighter. Time is the major factor on this one though.

                        Fine Molds makes an excellent x-wing. Here is one spot you can find it and the english instructions for it.

                        http://www.hlj.com/product/FNMSW-01

                        Well, actually they are sold out of the original packaging. Here is the repack (but see english instructions on other page)

                        After Christmas? I've got two GBs on the go now but they end in December. Another one will be starting after Chirstmas. So I might be able to handle one more at that time.

                        Don't see why not. There's a lof of improvement that can be done on that kit. I'm in the process of doing some simple corrections to the laser cannons (the flashback suppressors are mounted horizontally instead of vertically like they should be, a personal pet peeve). I may enter the X-Wing first, and build the speeder bike as a second build if time permits. I'd love to see what someone else does with the kit!

                        I am "whoever-you-are" Big Smile [:D] and no problem I'll look for a light saber and add it.
                        Any wish on the color?

                        A start date of December is GREAT count me in for sure.  And the Badge looks perfect, the added saber would be cool as well.  I have a few star wars kits to choose from so I'll deside closer to the start date what to build.  Thanks guys.
