There's clearly a lot of Star Trek builders here, just wondering if anyone enjoys building Star Wars kits?

I've been digging up my old builds from before I went to college (the first time), and most of them are pretty, well, amateur-ish. The B-Wing that I once thought looked good is going to be replaced once ERTL/RC2 releases their new stuff.

So anyone else?

 

[rossjr]

I am but I am looking for a nice y-wing since I blew my chances with SMT.....

 

[jgoldsack]

I started on Star Wars kits.. I have an old Falcon and X-Wing back home (in canada), and sicne i moved here I have an AMT, and Fine Molds X-Wing, Finmolds TIE & TIE Interceptor, have an AT-AT waiting, Falcon waiting, snowspeeder done (going to redo) and a vader TIE to redo.

Also looking at getting a CC X-Wing too...

 

[Rogue1]

I'm one!

 

[Lloyd Collins]

I'm one too. I got Slave 1,Jabb's Thone Room, Hoth,Cantana, Falcon Cutaway, Deathstar,Tie Fighters,Episode Droid Fighters, and a few more I don't remember now.

Hope to get X-Wing when AMT puts out again.

I'm an SW model fan. I've built a few over the years and plan on rebuilding my old original X-Wing from when I was 16 or 17 (still have the parts). I also have quite a few in storage that I'll be building before too long. Most of them I got at huge discounts the last time they were released.

I just finished an SMT ATAT. What a fantastic kit. Too bad Lucas' legal team forbid them from doing any more.

 

[Darth Bill]

Awesome! Glad to see there's more out there!

I have a Falcon that is 80% completed for my son. And a Tie Intercepter I did about 6 years ago. If they ever rereleased the original non cutaway falcon again I would probably get more, even with all the inaccuracies.

 

[Four Mad Men]

Do Legos count?

Matter of fact, I'm kitbashing a 4-wing, radially-symmetrical TIE interceptor as we speak. Can't figure out what to call it - I suppose "Bow TIE" is taken? "Black TIE?"

Otherwise, I have plenty of SW stuff built:

and plenty TO build.

"It's a good bet the Empire knows we're here..."

I picked up this Probe Droid kit at a model swap meet a year or so ago. I have no idea who the manufacturer is, but after much sanding, puttying and detailing, it yielded a nice model.

I keep threatening to scratch build an Imperial Crusier. One a these days...

 

[capt Locknar]

John I still like that YF-19, thats a heck of a conceptual aircraft.

Nice looking probe droid too

 

[Darth Bill]

Oh, sweet models there John! I'm digging your work.

 

[dreamer]

Used to in my teens, but almost none since. Did the vinyl Vader from ERTL and the Fine Molds TIE and X-Wing. Restored a Tydirium a few years ago. Surprised the hell outta me, my X-Wing took second in the spacecraft category at last year's Sci-Fan in Washington alongside far better craft modelers. Must be because the FineMolds is such a nice kit it's hard to go wrong with it.

I hope to get back into building SW kits next year. Have a Fine Molds Jedi Starfighter partly done, but not happy with the paint job - wnat to carefully strip it and repaint.

 

[Johnnyb1]

Hey Carson, I think your probe droid is an SMT model.

 

[Carson Dyle]

Hey Carson, I think your probe droid is an SMT model.

If you say so. Like I said, I got it at a swap meet, and there were no markings on the box. Is "SMT" still around?

 

[SubStuff]

Star Wars models, Star Wars models................ where have I seen some other kits at ................:wave: Oh ya, now I remember, there all over in my basement in boxes!

I'm trying to get over to the local model masters (when he has the time for me to see him) and have him start on the new hangers for the SD. I'm going to try to push as much as I can for replacement parts for the SD.

 

[Rogue1]

Can't figure out what to call it - I suppose "Bow TIE" is taken? "Black TIE?"

TIE Bow?

There is a guy on Finescale's site that is scratchbuilding a Star Destroyer variant, an Interdictor. His work is top notch and be sure to check out the TIE Interceptor which is barely as big as a grain of rice! Interdictor Scratchbuild
