Sad to hear, I was a huge Revel/Monogram fan. Still have a bunch of the kits in storage.

Pre shade coming along on the FM 1/72 repop Falcon. Looking good TS hobbies. I have up on Revell long ago. They have not inovated squat in years. Disney has so little faith in them they are allowing Bandai to distribute SW models legally in the states now.

Heres one Ive been working on..kitbashing the AT-ACT using parts from the old AMT AT-AT to improve the looks a bit. Revell really botched this one,making it look more like a toy. if only they had done the belly right it wouldvebeen a great model OOB.

Winter is getting a little long in the tooth and my jitters are setting in about flying. You know that feeling you get that youre never gonna fly again and if you do you will surely crash your plane....You guys that fly year round never get that feeling as you dont go months without flying.

Ah yes, the fun of fiber optics. I've done a few models with that. Fun times. Nice work there.

[AkumaZeto]

Lots of fiber going on here today. 80 strands in this piece alone.

Many projects piling up. Here is studio scale or what would be studio scale Randy Cooper SW Rebels GHOST! Awesome chunks of resin. Lots of work to do though. I have a few commission studio scale Xwings on the way so Alpha can follow those build ups.

That is incredible. I have a star wars themed room in my house that this would look wonderful in.

lol, me too!

hope this one isnt like their large SD..just for show.

[AkumaZeto]

they showed one at Tokyo toy show last year. We are hoping.

[TSHobbies]

Is bandai making one in that scale?

[AkumaZeto]

I am waiting for the 1/72 Falcon myself. I have the Finemolds one here and it is a work in progress. I just did a few sessions with it the other day. But the mandibles bother the **** out of me.

[TSHobbies]

Lookin good..sure wish Bandai would expand their 1/48 scale line. They keep coming out with all these new kits ,but only in 1/72 & 1/144

[AkumaZeto]

Check 308 bits on the shape ways website. 3d printed stuff

Check the big Xwing thread on RPF Delta.

Nice work on the X-Wing, its really taking shape, can't wait to see the weathering. Thanks for the tip on RPF, checked out a few of the build threads and bookmarked them for future reference. Looks like there were also a few people who said they were going to make cast parts for it, but nothing seems to have materialized yet.

[AkumaZeto]

Wrapping up this Bandai 1/48 T-65. Pastels and blaster marks are next. I am keeping this one more stark and constrasty....

Check the big Xwing thread on RPF Delta.

Lol. Yes, that but look closely at what these pieces share with each other.

That's really cool! Never noticed there was a Sherman hull on the back of the X-Wing. It's amazing how much of the detailing on those original models was done by kitbashing WWII models! Makes me wonder if a 1/72 Sherman would fit for detailing my big 1/18 one..
