Sounds like a great idea! If you'd like my involvement it'd have to be before
July, as I'll be a .loc.uk person after that.
I'll pull out all the stops for a Star Wars display. Mmmmmm... Star Wars
display. A big hanger base display sounds like the go, with a couple of my B-
Wings, a shuttle, a few A-, X- and Y-Wings (everyone in Studs must have at
least one of these sets they can bring to pad it all out), but no Falcon,
that's outa my league at the moment. Need more grey base plates....
I might start working out a design...
