I've also been painting the cockpit in between gardening duties. Not much will be seen once closed up, but since the roof just snaps into place I guess it could be removed

Like, 'just before stomping on an ewok...'It looks that way, but they also include some parts to lock the joints in a set position, "when displaying the model for a long period of time"
Personally I'll be finding a pose I like and running a bit of cement in.
Thank you Sir!Stonking!
Thanks Chris. I think I'll sand the pins for the roof a bit to make removal easier. All of the pins are incredibly tight, even the slightest drift of paint on them and it's a no go. Next time I'll cover the holes & pins with a blob of blue tack or tape, just to save all the clean up time!Very nice Andy, those colours on the uniforms look spot on. shame about having to hide all that gorgeous detail when the 'lid' goes on, I'm sure when i built mine I removed or cut down the pegs that snap it in place and ended up being able to lift it off the show the insides off..
Thanks John. A few were chosen from screen shots from the film, like the screens with yellow or green graphics, but some were from my imagination.OOh nice , love the colours in the Office.
Blimmin' Eck... It's together already!!Yes, he could be placed looking out of the top hatch.
I've been working through some ideas for the layout, Blue Peter style. I'm glad I always keep my foam offcuts!

.... I'm sure that makes perfect sense to everyone else,but.....It still gets me that, in the early versions of the Jedi script, the forest moon (OF Endor) was going to be the Wookie homeworld of Kashyyk!
It pretty much falls together mate, it's a peach of a kit.Blimmin' Eck... It's together already!!
.... Despite having to juggle this with finishing the Hurricane AND decorating the bathroom,I have just managed to get a stab at doing some more to mine,and you're spot on...It pretty much falls together mate, it's a peach of a kit.
Oh crumbs, I knew there was something else I needed to get done this weekend! The hours have flown by with modelling and snooker.... Despite having to juggle this with finishing the Hurricane
Okay. Picture if you will....... I'm sure that makes perfect sense to everyone else,but.....
... Can you put that in English mate?!!
This is looking good Andy, but I hope your news turns out to be nowhere near as bad as you fear.I'm trying to finalise the general layout before slopping some goop around and I'm pretty happy with this.
Thinner, shorter trees will have some foliage, thicker ones will be mostly trunk.

I know I'm racing ahead with this but it's distraction tactics. Zoë & I had a huge bomb dropped onto us last week, so we've both been burying our heads into anything we can to keep our minds off the subject.
Hopefully we'll be getting some clarity later today on whether it's bad, or really bad
Thanks Tim. It's hard to put a positive spin on it, and to be fair we're still in limboThis is looking good Andy, but I hope your news turns out to be nowhere near as bad as you fear.
