Whew...It is finally finished.
Some impressions:
This is the greatest "Model Team" set I have ever built (I know it is UCS now,
but c'mon). There are many cool parts like astrmech heads and bodies without
any printing (no legs sadly). Some very funky gear peices and a ton of
cylinder 2x2 rounds. The wings can go into and out of attack mode. Overall,
this model is impressive and surpasses the destoryed droid in overall
coolness. I expect this model to be surpassed by the UCS Tie Fighter based
solely on the picture in the instructions.
Thanks to everyone who watched me build this. My poor little PC was working
hard to keep the video pumping.
I'll probably snap some pics in the next few days. Meanwhile, you can still
veiw the model on the live video cam at: http://www.marsrobot.com/legotv.htm

| Thanks for the ID on the gear. Thanks, the camera is getting hammered right now, so frame rate is what it is...the frame rate unused is about 15 fps. (...) (24 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)
