My Star Wars models

Thought I would post a few pics of some of my Star Wars models. Most of them are Finemolds, and the C3-PO is a vinyl 1/8 Screamin model.

Thats a nice collection, and some nice bases (better than the AMT supplied ones)

Thanks ! I have an old AMT waiting to be built and a stack of Screamin ones. Actually I need to sell some of the screamin as I bought a couple 1/6 scale and they are way to big. Need to replace them with 1/8… Problems :slight_smile:

Nice collection.I once avoided the Fine Molds kits due to price.After building one for a friend I have reversed that opinion.Best engineered kits I’ve ever worked with.Worth the price.

I agree, price aside their kits are incredibly accurate and some of the best I’ve ever worked on.

Very nice with the Fine Molds kits. I find the main benefit, other than the obvious quality, to be the constant scale of 1/72. With MPC/AMT/Ertl and Revell kits, their use of scale is all over the place.

Lovely looking builds. I have a few of those Fine Molds kits and they are great builds, don’t have the falcon yet though, a bit pricey. Great work on C3-P0 as well. Those Screamin kist are really hard to find, I ended up with a poor copy of the 1/4 Darth Vader figure.

Thanks! Yes those screamin copies aren’t very good. EBay is a good place to watch for kits. Some of the prices are silly, mostly from the collector hobby places. I just wait for individuals to put them up at reasonable prices. Been waiting for a Boba Fett for a while to show up under $100

Tell me about it. For some reason the legs are way to close together. I am going to try soaking in hot water to see if I can correct it. I have been looking for the 1/4 Boba Fett and Stormtooper, but no luck so far.

There are a couple 1/4 Fett kits on eBay right now, I think I have a 1/4 storm trooper kit to available if your interested.

Absolutely lovely renditions! I, too, have a bit of a “fetish” for Finemolds kits. Once you’ve done one, you must do another.

Please, keep up the great work.

Flaver! Great builds! I love anything SW, and you have done them justice with those! The detailing is great! Thanks for sharing and don’t stop posting those great kits you’re building!

Ohhhhh awesome, love the big Falcon!

Very nice collection you have there. I’ve been slowly building up one too. I just need to start building them now. I agree with Gino, I like having a constant scale.

I’m hoping for a Tie Bomber and keeping fingers crossed for Vader’s Tie for Christmas. I have to post the Slave 1 later, forgot that one.

I built Vader’s TIE years ago, I still have it but its not the best of builds, so I manage to get another one last year and this time I can do it justice. But I would love to get a TIE bomber, I believe there use to be a conversion, but not sure if its still around.

I’m not Gino. Never could figure out why people would mistake me for him especially when I use my real name as my username.

The newer Vader TIE’s by both Revell (two different scales) and Fine Molds (1/72) are superb kits that are leaps and bounds beyond the old MPC/AMT/Ertl one that arrived around 1977. They are not as big, but the quality of any of them is better.

I didn’t know Fine Molds had done Vadars TIE. I do like the MPM because of the size, but it would be nice to add a more detailed one as well, I will have to have a look for those, thanks Rob

Are the Revell ones both snap tight kits.

Here is the Slave 1. I didn’t think it was 1/72 scale as it’s so large, I figured that it would be about half the size, but I guess it’s about as big as the Falcon at scale. I think I went a bit overboard with the weathering…
