Cheers Lee. Thrilled with the Interest, there should be some great builds.

I have loads to choose from

Post by **DBMiller** » Mon Jan 12, 2015 6:45 pm

I think I will be going for something fairly light duty for this build.

A nice 'It's A Snap' A-Wing!

And if I'm really ambitious, the B-Wing from this 3 kit set as well!

Good luck for those entering the SW sig.

KiwiGav -

I'd like to get in on this SiG with a Fine molds 1:72 X-Wing

What better way to celebrate the return of Star Wars!

Post by **Lee** » Tue Jan 13, 2015 1:48 pm

Hmm... Which one?

I think that 1/144 Sith bomber would be great!

I reckon Darth with a scratch built base/Dio

All these entries look fantastic!
As soon as I'm able to sit down at the bench or get to the stash, I'm gonna get my mojo back.
Damn ankle!

A Star Wars SIG? Awesome idea! Count me in. This will give some model building fun for the Fall

I'm building 2 star wars kits for a Sci-Fi GB on another site.

I'll dig out a fine molds Y-wing for this SIG nearer the time.

Post by **shasmalcaor** » Thu Jan 22, 2015 10:15 am

Have been lurking around and decided I will try out some group builds this year.

I have a lot of star wars models still to build so count me in.

Need to decide between, Jango's Slave 1, Republic Star Destroyer, Eta-2 Jedi Interceptor, Knight models Darth Vader, Boba fett and speeder bike.

I have the 1/72 Millenium falcon, but that I think that will wait.

This also assume I don't pick up ay of Bandai's new stuff that is coming out

Post by **ClaytonDJ** » Thu Jan 22, 2015 4:47 pm

Just started a subscription for the 1:1 replica model of the Millennium Falcon being issued by De Agsotini in 100 weekly magazines.
Awesome model - but will be a long build - with plenty of scope to improve the provided model. I've got the first 2 issues and have so far resisted opening the packages (but this won't last much longer!).

Anyone else subscribing? I'll need all the advice and guidance I can get - particularly on re-painting the model that is almost 3ft long.

This is going to be a really cool GB, such a wide range of stuff possible and lots of imagination

Is there anywhere in UK selling the new bandai kits yet?

Unlikely to be sold in Europe as Revell still have the license for Europe.

What?! That's not very good! Thanks for the info, saves me searching on the net. I'm wary of buying from Asia, always get stung with BS import/handling taxes!

There maybe an independent stockist but them in but then the cost to you would be huge compared to the real retail price in Japan.

Best to look at hobby link japan and order direct.

The only downside is the possible hit for VAT (fair enough) and the so called handling fee from royal mail (unreasonalbe rip off).

Post by **shasmalcaor** » Sat Jan 24, 2015 11:33 am

They will be available in several places in the UK. Basically anywhere that stocks gundam will probably have them. Quick search of ebay shows they are already available in the UK and reasonably priced.

Just because Revell has the European license it doesn't mean they can't be imported.

Post by **chief5437** » Sat Jan 24, 2015 2:08 pm

Cheers, I'll look closer. My last ebay search showed most to be in japan.

Very nice. I'm still looking to buy my project yet. Look forward to seeing the build

Great pics there! I love how you can recognise some of the kit parts they've used. Thanks for sharing!

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Thu Feb 05, 2015 11:43 pm

I think I need to grow out my hair and stop shaving my beard for this build now

Post by **Eusi** » Tue Feb 17, 2015 2:42 am

Oolong count me in for this one.

Will either be the 1/156 AMT Battle for Hoth Battlescene or the Knight Models 75mm Darth Vader. Maybe both if I can manage it.

HAHAHA! I doubt that you can Clint... but you could try.

I'm having a hard time... I already went and built and AT-AT to take the edge off.

I just bought a $10 snap-kit to start to hold me over. Need my Star Wars fix. This will hopefully tied me over until May.

Post by **Coen** » Thu Mar 26, 2015 5:55 pm

Nice!!!

Don't let Paul see that or you'll have a gorilla shaped burglar some night wearing and ISM t-shirt looking for some Boba!

Post by **Russ72** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 10:29 am

I was going to take part in this one with a Speeder Bike, but my AT-ST arrived today, and also found a Vinyl Han Solo kit while cleaning up my work area a couple of months ago. Not sure which to build for the Sig now.

Any Suggestions?
