        Is this the way?

        The FILMS only? Not the series.

        I ask because I wanted to do the prototype Blade Wing from Rebels. The big red beast designed by Quarrie. And Simon said he was doing Mando's N-1

        Clouded, the future is . Always in motion

              Err...
              Okay, so, if I can remember them all:
              Films:
              Star Wars, Empire, Jedi
              Too Long Menace, Attacko, Revenge of the still not watched it
              The sequels. There are three of them

              Caravan of Courage and the other Ewok movie - are there any ships in them?

              Rogue One
              Rogue One (so good I named it twice)
              Solo (IMHO it's FINE. It's better than the sequels)

              Series:
              Um, Ewoks, Droids... Moving on

              Clone Wars
              Rebels
              Mandalorian
              Bad Batch (Final season next week!)
              Book of Boba Fett
              Andor (!!!)
              Ahsoka

              Plus another three new series, and a couple of movies, in the works, but they don't count yet
              Did I forget anything? If anyone says 'Holiday Special' there's a squad of Death Troopers wanting a word

                  Even J J Abrams stuff? Well, there was one good scene in each of the sequels

                  A holiday in Devon is the only time I've ever had sunburn. Like being on Tatooine, I guess

                  Anyhoo, this is where I'm heading toward... And I've just discovered there's actually a conversion kit, 3D printed, but from the States...

                    Blast. Missed some, I did

                    Resistance (but it's set during the sequels so, meh)
                    Forces of Destiny
                    Tales of the Jedi (wow, does that one get dark)
                    Visions (bw samurai Star Wars? Oh yeah)
                    Young Jedi (which, by all accounts is, ODD, for ostensibly a kids show)
                    and Obi-Wan

                    All there are, is that?

                      As Andy mentioned, I'm doing the same kit as him:

                      But I'm hoping to do an Endor kind of scene. I think a 1/48 replica of the bunker would take up way too much space! so something with trees lol. There are plenty of examples around for me to take inspiration from, and these guys should help:

                        The Bandai jobs are really nice looking kits. Almost a shame to mess it about. That is, if the conversion kit to the prototype I've found is actually compatible, as the listing makes no mention of what model it's actually FOR.
                        It does apparently print in clear, so that'll be a bonus
                        Maybe...
