Just checked out the Starshipmodeler.com website and saw their Star Wars contest entries. I'm not sure if these are all of them, but I see they have about 78 entries. Some are really amazing. What do you think?

Check it out:

I saw this on their site, beautiful kits, some conversions are extremely interesting. A lot of sci-fi talent resides at that site.

I didn't see the length of that Annihilator Class Star Destroyer, I'd like to know how big that things is. And he used a Tamiya Nimitz for parts! That would have been expensive!

But it looks soooooo cooool!

Some very impressive work. My favorites were 'Ground Assault' which was made mostly by a 6 year old (!) and 'X-Wing over Death Star' where the Death Star was constructed using a 32' x 79" door!

Having just come back from Ep III (well, yesterday), I can think of about 8 things from that film that I'd like to see Fine Molds do in 1/72. And that's not including my current hopes of a Y-Wing, A-Wing, Vader TIE Fighter and Snow Speeder...

Hi all, I just had a look at the link and you said it, WOW! Some really lovely models. I just bought the revell Republic cruiser (episode III) and this is just the inspiration I needed.

If anyone is interested I'll post a preliminary review.
