                        Just a heads-up if someone else ordered this that they are ready to ship.

                        I simply didnt get the Slave one, and the Millennium Falcon because I had built them with the kits available..

                        But  a decent Star Destroyer....... Then, there is a kit I would be interested in!
                        Fine Molds would do it justice!

                        Can anyone recommend a reputable on line retailer that sells the fine molds Star Wars kits such as the Millennium Falcon, Tie-Fighter and X-wing? My searches have come up empty.

                        Personally I'd like to see them do a kit of  one of those big Calamar cruisers from Return of the Jedi.

                        Hi, yes, they're just images created in Photoshop. Did a basic gradient and then just deleted part of it and made ten of it, from 10% to 100%. As and when a model progresses I go into my profile and change the image.

                        If you look at the properties of the bar you can then just copy the image URL to 10, 20, etc., and save them down. Feel free, happy to share. :)

                        Hi everyone,

                        What about the capital ships scaled down so that they can carry one or two fighters overall?

                        ? scale them down they already are small don't you mean scale them up to 1/72nd scale so that they can fit the fighters?

                        On the workbench: Dragon 1/350 scale Ticonderoga class USS BunkerHill 1/720 scale Italeri USS Harry S. Truman 1/72 scale Encore Yak-6

                        TD4438,

                        I know " Backlot Studios" made a resin tie bomber, I tried to contact them, and better yet buy one but never got any response. You can see it on Starshipmodeler.com , full review, and completed model. I think it was in 1/32 scale.

                        scaled down to 1/800 would be more like it, even though it would be put of proportion, it would still be awesome ( and be able to fit in a room!!)

                        scaled to 1/72 would mean that your mon cal. cruiser would be about 25 metres long!! that's alot of glue!
