Plastic model building thread:

I agree. I'd definately want a yard at least for an SSD. Maybe get a glass coffee table and put it under that... that'd be cool...

But I digress! I'll keep my eyes open for a bigger model. n_n

The actual model they constructed and used in Return of the Jedi (the Executor) is over 7 feet long and several feet wide, I heard, and it was as close to scale with the other imperial and rebel ships as it was going to get.

Now, I'm not expecting something that huge (as it would be ridiculously expensive and hard to store or find a place to display), but something definitely more than 3 feet.

A miniature just does not do these unfathomable behemoth ships justice.

Glad to see that there are a bunch modellers from the group. I've been building models for over 40 years. I started out with airplanes but quickly switched to AFV's, but occasionally still build a plane or two. Most of the tanks I build are in the 1/35th scale. A few months ago, I completed a few 1/48th scale kits that I bought on e-bay, a Ferdinand Assault Gun (Elefant) and a Jagdpanther both by Bandai, and great little kits too. A few months ago I built a Heltzer from the new line of 1/48th scale by Tamiya. I am currently working on a Dragons' M26A1 Pershing from the Korean War Series. If you guys are looking for a really good modelling site, go to Track-link, you'll pretty much find anything you want, from advice on building kits, to swapping parts and kits. Btw, for you Long Islanders, if you are looking for a place to buy kits, I suggest Bay Shore Hobbies, they are reasonably priced and you'll find most of your modellings need there.

another 1/48th armour builder, that scale is proving to be more popular than I anticipated, owing to their size and incredible detail - no wonder it's a choice of armour modelers.
Hey TiklinGuy, I obtain quite a few of models from Ebay as well, just have to check around depending what your after....I'm on the hunt for a AMT 1/25th 1962 Lincoln Continental convertable - thought I'd take a crack at constructing a X100 Presidential Limousine.
