Well, I went and did it. I took the Republic Gunship and made it somewhat more accurate to the movie version. This one was a doosey. I am awaiting some parts so I can finish off the engine. I also used some bleeched white parts to give it that tan (...) (22 years ago, 6-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Took me ~8 hours total; had I worked straight through, blindness would have resulted. Would have been done sooner had I not used a wrong shade of grey early on. Finished the 'hammerhead' in ~2 hours then went to FL for the Orange Bowl. If you think (...) (22 years ago, 6-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

I've started doing these again - very silly. Sorry. Here is this week's instalment. If anyone wants me to stop, just say the word! There's a Star Wars connection to my first offering, so I've posted it in two places. (URL) (22 years ago, 5-May-02, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.starwars)

(...) I bought it a little over a week ago at around 9pm at a TRU. Got home and started it at 9:30pm thinking "Well, the other UCS sets took me roughly 3 hours, so I'll still get to bed not long after midnight." I worked pretty much non-stop on it (...) (22 years ago, 5-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)
