Roger Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 I don't have the link right now, but the official Star Wars site has a feature on the nose art for the clone ships. There are two different Twilek girls on a couple of them, and another sports a Salacious Crumb-type guy. They also have funny slogans using the Star Wars generic alien language. If anyone wants to sell the "mini rig" from their Millenium Falcon, I'll gladly buy it off of you.
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) LSB: It took me a few seconds of thinking you had horrendously hard to read handwriting to realise thats all in (I want to say) Spanish so Im not sure entirely what it says, but Im guessing u plan to add a panel to block off the medical bay, and add the corridor to the cockpit section there, bth of which are cool ideas. HAW! Yeah, sorry for the handwriting, I was so excited when I did those sketches. And yeah, the idea is to add a wall to isolate the medical bay. It is too exposed for my tastes. Some thoughts: * The wall you add for the medical area will make it very hard to sit figures in the gunners chair. id either make the wall soemthing that easily clock in and out, or perhaps re work the gunners chair area to lift out, so a figure can be placed in it, then lowered and re attched into place. It does narrow the access to the gunner station, but only by a few millimeters so you still can place the figures there. * With regards to redoing the floor in the fighter bad; I suggest removing the wall their entirely, and using a mold of some of the decking in the main falcon area in that section, then extending it, essentially enlarging the whole floor space. make the current fighter docking door a sild part of the wall, since there is no longer a need for it. use part of the inner wall (From somewhere in the falcon) to make a wall that partiall blocks that area off, though not completely. Somehwere at the back of that section, close to the gun well, is where u could put the "Landovator." now ALL of that is pretty tough, especially the elevator part which would be a MASSIVE reworking. Yeah, I know, but you keep giving me great ideas. I'll definitely do that eventually. Last night I was thinking on a way of making a simple working elevator and sliding upper hatch. The idea of removing the panel that connects with the mini-fighter docking area is also great, but that mod will have to wait for now. * the area thats currenty behind the double doors behind the medbay; have u thought about making part of the roof there removable? that would give you better access to that bay, and maybe you could create the area of the Falcon where Leia and Han have their first little romantic moment? That's also a great idea since it's close to the engines, but I'm not sure about cutting out the hull. You have to make it possible for it to be placed securely in place again and that means tabs and slots and cutting in a section that has lots of detail. But I definitely want to detail that area. *Will you make a sliding door for the cockpit side of the corridor? I'd probably just leave it open, since I want the corridor to be visible from the cockpit and it would be very hard to get your fingers there to open and close the door anyway (unless you could do that from the outside, hmmm).

Scream Man Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 well u said u were taking a mold of the whole thing right? Just redoing a new Falcon? So u could easily just rework the first versions of your casts, and make the mods to that.
Scream Man Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Woohoo for mispriced toys! Got the new comic packs (karrde/Thrawn, Cade/Talon and The imperial Knights) for half price, and an AT-TE for WAY less than usual. This is going rather well....

Chronocidal Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 The Salacious Crumb one is also included with the new Lego Gunship set. I dunno if it's a sticker or printed on though.
Scream Man Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 im gonna pick up the "Lucky Leku" one when its released.
Scream Man Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Scored the big wing TIE Fighter, which is a neat ship. Also one some ebay lots for a stack of fighters. Lord knows hwere Ill put them.... Is the new A-Wing out over there yet?
Warmaker Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Scored the big wing TIE Fighter, which is a neat ship. Also one some ebay lots for a stack of fighters. Lord knows hwere Ill put them.... Is the new A-Wing out over there yet? You know, that reminds me. After viewing the Star Wars movies repeatedly, playing the games, especially the X-Wing series, I just now realize how friggin' huge the standard TIE Fighter is. Unshielded, huge target from the sides... no wonder everyone blows the T/F away like they were eating popcorn
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted September 18, 2008 Author Posted September 18, 2008 Is the new A-Wing out over there yet? Not yet, its due out in november
Stemp Fester Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 im gonna pick up the "Lucky Leku" one when its released. It's at Kmart in Oz now for $79 on sale (normally $129) I'm tempted to get one but I already have 4 Gunships (1 of each of the previous releases) - damn these things take up some space!
Vermillion21 Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Is it just around me, or are the SW Clone Wars toys just clogging the local toy shelfs ???? If these go on clearance, I may pick some up. If I have cash left over ...
Scream Man Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 not around here. Lots of Clones and droids, but most of the leads are off shelves. Occasionally see an Obi Wan...
Chronocidal Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 I keep seeing oodles of vehicles at my local wal-mart.. VF-19s, V-wings, anakin's modded blue/white striped jedi fighter, and one or two AT-TEs. None of the epIII style jedi fighters though. Been tempted to get one of each type, but I don't have the room nor spare cash right now.
Scream Man Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 (edited) i won an ebay lot for 9 ships; all Jedi starfighters. $200 Aussie shipped (Thats about.... 140 USD?) considering a mint Jedi fighter here is $55 I consider it a good deal. Edited September 22, 2008 by Scream Man
Scream Man Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Thanx! Awing and Ywing arrived today. VERY second hand, but salvagable and i got en cheap...
Vermillion21 Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Can you post pics of your SW vehicles Scream Man??
Mog Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Picked up the Imperial Knights comic pack yesterday. Cool little pair of buggers. Hate to say it, but these were the only SW figures I've been itching to buy this whole year. No doubt it's been an awesome year for vehicle fans. But the action figure side of things has been a little lacking at times. It still amazes me that Hasbro takes FOREVER to release the figures that most fans are often clamoring for (such as DSII Luke and Bastila).
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Can you post pics of your SW vehicles Scream Man?? x2
Vermillion21 Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Saw the new Wal-Mart exclusive A-Wing fighter for the 3 3/4 figures. Looked very cool, comes with the Green wing leader. It has a new cockpit design and the Return of the Jedi paint scheme with some battle damage. I was considering buying it, but it was $29.99 ...
Black Valkyrie Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Here is my recent collection, some of the figs are over a decade old and I still some figs on the way.
Scream Man Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 i took some pics, but now Ive lost the camera. Ill find it and post em.
Vermillion21 Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Nice SW collection Black Valkyrie!! Thanks for posting pics ...
bsu legato Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Has anyone else seen the paint masters for the EFX X-Wing replica? They look fan-freaking-tastic. The old Master Replicas studio scale line was priced outside of my range (for collectibles, anyway) but I just may have to make an exception for Red 5.
VF1A-FAN Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 A Quick Photo Story I posted on Rebel Scum Somewhere, in the Outer Rim . . . . . . . No mistakes! Jabba's counting on this shipment! Relax. The shipment's been stashed in a safe place. Besides, the Falcon's the first place they'd check. This is TK1318. I have a positive ID on the SUBJECT. Moving into position . . . K'chkk . . .
VF1A-FAN Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 YOU may go. Remember. Mention nothing of the shipment. Shhhhhhhh. . . . . . . Well? How can I help you boys? To Be Continued . . . . . . .
bsu legato Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Boba Fett's trigger discipline in the first picture is appalling.
Black Valkyrie Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Thank you Vermillion21 and VF1A-FAN thats some collection you got there, nice.
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted October 12, 2008 Author Posted October 12, 2008 But the action figure side of things has been a little lacking at times. It still amazes me that Hasbro takes FOREVER to release the figures that most fans are often clamoring for (such as DSII Luke and Bastila). Man they should give us a Darth Revan with ball jointed knees and ankles too, those are the only joints missing on the figure!
Vermillion21 Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Awesome pics/story VF1A-FAN ... guess you have a lot of 12 inch SW figures eh?
