Hi Blitz and Homerboy,
Thanks for the nice comments! I can't wait for the Fine Molds 1/72 Slave 1 to come out. Although, it will be expensive; it's will be a nice addition to the collection.
Cheers,
Wanze

Cool! Yeah, same comment as Blitz, subtle weathering. What scale is this? Excellent on the paint job!

Hi GI,
It's the 1/72 Fine Molds Tie fighter. I still have the Jedi Star fighter to build and I hope to finish it within the year.

Relax, Buck. It's still 1/72. Anyways, I've yet to buy an X-Wing (my favorite Star Wars space craft) Too bad AMT/ERtl does not make them anymore. Fine molds is expensive. Gotta scrape up dough if I am to buy it. I wonder if they'll also make the Millenium Falcon?

Buck,
Ha! Ha! Ha! As I told everyone during my intro at my first club meeting, I am also a Sci-Fi modeler. I usually build Star Wars, Aliens, and Macross vehicles. Don't worry most of the kits are in Braille and smaller.
I still love braille armour and AC! Hail Braille!
To everyone,
Thanks for the kind remarks and comments. Once I really get used to working with my camera and find my tripod, I will post better images.
Cheers,
Wanze

Galeng! Althought I'm not a Star Wars fan, the model looks good

After bringing over your TIE fighter, I'm now salivating for an X-Wing and/or Jedi Starfighter.
Who knows ,we can team up if ever we get the Adversaries theme going.

Hey 4-eyes!
I hope you can get a copy; the Finemolds SW models are expensive at around PHP 1500. Once you get one, build it and I look forward to seeing it finished.

I believe that the most interesting (modeller-wise) Star Wars build would be the A-Wing fighterbombers.
Why?
Because A wings' engine nacelles don't have an outer hull. You HAVE to detail the engines, both of them!
Wait, was I talking about the Y Wing? Bloody confusing #:-)

WSO: "Wow, fireworks!"

Lattex,
You were right in correcting yourself. The fighter bomber is the Y-wing. While the A-wing is a starfighter.
Yes, the y-wing would be an interesting build. I have an early ERTL/MPC kit but it lacks detail. There are some garage kits available but they are so expensive.

Just gimme more stuff to work on and I may accumulate enough dough to buy one. If I do I may be able to enter it for the Nationals (Sci-Fi category). The earlier the better.
