                        Right on Woody seems like your ready for it and it looks like we have a group build , I'm currently finishing up some other projects , and while I thought I was going to do something from Star Wars , I'm not quite sure now , it'll be something but while I'm completeing my other things I'm doing skecthes of fighter plans . As for an offical start date I think it's the 22nd of this month and ending the 22nd of June . So build , build , build . And to all that have joined up for this group build welcome and thank you Sign - Welcome [#welcome]Thumbs Up [tup]

                        Great sketch Dan! I can't wait to see it take form. Do we have a firm start date? I have a stock pile of styrene & stuff so I'm ready to go! Mine will be a long range escort fighter with combination ion/chemical engines, two man crew, and armed with twin gatling partical beam cannons. I'm really looking forward to this build! Wink [;)]

                        I haven't really started yet , but I'm thinking about doing something from Star Wars , something you just don't see in model kits , like the E-Wing fighter or maybe something else , or something completly different , I do know it will be 100% scrath built as I've never done a complete scrth build I want to try it out and see what I get . Who knows maybe it'll even look like a starfighter ?Dead [xx(]

                        Anyone of you guys got detailed photos of the republican gunship from StarWars? I've been searching the net for two days now and I haven't seen a thing about this. I've seen the starwars site but theres not much about this gunship. Any help would be great, thanks!

                        Though, i don't have the skills necissary to scratchbuild or even kitbash, you have my support! I like the idea of building fighters from StarWars that you don't see in the movies! One of the X-Tie/Tie-wing uglies might look interesting. Maybe a Z-95 headhunter or a Hapan Battlecruiser (...hang on...it isn't a starfighter...) or a corralskipper! The possibilities are endless! I can't wait to see what you guys will be building!

                        I might just have to get that kit MMF . I agree with Woody about the start date prep time for the next week or so and then build time , the longer it's prolonged the harder it gets . I have most the supplies I think I'm going to need , of course I'll probably get more stuff as time passes .
