Hi Adam...You painted the Droid's stand in nutella didn't you!? Seriously though...I think you have worked the kit well.

I actually worked on Phantom Menace, and as it was shot on 'Bluescreen' at Leavesden, near Watford, Herts, UK...I got to see some of the lifesize models just left abandoned in various places in the huge hangars there.

keep cracking away matey!

Hi mate i did so my girlfiend can lick it all day - LOL.

Wow i wish i colud see some of them live cool stuff.

Here is next update of my project, i have change concept i have quit idea of making a cut off version it just wasn't going on with droids and had no idea how to make ammunition. Instead i have decide to cover that hole and make it like inside explosion.

Next update, it's ready in 99%.

[Guest]

OUTSTANDING! You keep saying you're done.. I wonder what you'll come out with next though.

[Guest]

oops...the above thanks was for adam!!!

Howdy Adam,

Awesome work you might want to contact Steven Speilberg and see if he is hiring, I believe you could easily get a job painting sets and props for the movie industry.

A few photos of your work would make a good portfolio. I look forward to more of your work in the future.

keep up the good work and have a good day,

Good morning to all, and thanks for opinions and i'm glad someone liked it. Only thing that is actualy left to do are some antennas on the gun turret, some tiny small adjustment of painting and varnish ( i haven't decide yet mat or satin for small gloss).

I'm showing this model also on different web site, and the guys over there saying i should make diorama for it, so i will - no Naboo battle scene it's rubbish- it will be urban scene i will make buliding and street from Tantoine. Because i got some droid parts left i will use them to create that scene.

If i haven't come off with some new star wars stuff, next project will be M-26 Dragon wagon from tamyia, i'm keeping that one for, a long time so my skills will be good enough not to kill it.

P.S. Steven Spielberg it's not answering anybody got his new tel. number? - LOL kidding.

My head just doesn't want to stop. First idea for dio:

Howdy Adam,

The diorama looks like the model, very impressive, what are you using for the walls...styrofoam? A little info on how you plan on creating the diorama would also be nice providing you have the time to do so.

Oh, by the way,

Hi mate styrofoam it's just for the basis shape of buildings i will cover everything with wet paper to create shape i want and then i will brush it with clear varnish to be sure its solid. I dont have anything for the base at the moment ( i need piece of wood in a nice square shape). Question is can the tank over hang or does it have to be within borders of base. I have just brought some sand from the beach to create street and tiny "dunes" in a corners of building just like wind will do.

That will be me first diorama since 15 years so we will see.

Just to give you idea of i want to achive:



p.s. thanks for address i had a good laugh.:music_too

[Guest]

Next update, here you can see first attempt with sand, it will be a bit more and i will paint everything to bright up the walls.

[Guest]

WOW! they look great!

Would anyone have a copy of the instructions for this model? I have lost them trying to find paint for it and haven't started constructing it. It seems that I cannot send private mails yet (obviously to prevent spam), so I'm asking here, if adamkijak (or anyone else, actually) would happen to have a copy that could either be scanned or sent to me?
