Star Wars GB Episode II CLOSED

Welcome to the 2015 Star Wars GB, being held in the build up to the release of Star Wars Episode VII – The Force Awakens, due for release on Dec 18th 2015. This GB is open to builds from all 6 previous Star Wars movies plus the expanded Star Wars Universe. It is also open to Star Wars inspired builds, so if you have a new idea for a TIE Cockpit, bring it along and Star Wars models painted in a none Star Wars schemes are also acceptable. If you’re unsure as to whether your build is viable, please check with our official adjudicator.

Now, the important bit, the rules.

  1. All facilities may open for construction on Jan 1st 2015. All new construction ends on Dec 18th 2015. This date will only be changed if the Imperial senate deem it necessary to change the release date of Ep VII. All construction started and proved with photo evidence may continue after this date.

  2. Whether it be space, land, figures or scenes, if its Stars Wars it can join the ranks. AM, OOB and scratch building all acceptable.

  3. Having fun, laughs, giggles, silly jokes and posting all Stars Wars related imagery is not an option but absolutely compulsory. But please remember to keep it clean.

(Not that I am aware of any none clean Star Wars images of course, I’m just sayin)

  1. Evidence is essential, so post as many progress pics as you can.

  2. Cross overs allowed. And started builds are acceptable within reason. Again, please check with our adjudicator.

  3. Sign up any time from now until the campaign is over.

And with all that, here is your reward for your heroic struggle. But please, only display this honour after completing at least one build.

And remember, the Lord is watching.

So, whether you are joining the ranks of the Galactic Empire, or those rebel scum (sorry, I meant those plucky freedom fighters of the Rebellion) the murderous bounty hunters, the greedy Trade Federation or any other faction, come and join the struggle.

VERY cool opening page…gotta get shopping for this!!

Absolutely smashing Bish! Who would dare deny enlistment!

Eagle90

Bish that may be the coolest badge ever, may the force stay with you.

Bish, epic introduction and badge!

Just need to acquire a few more AM goodies and I’ll be set to go!

What is thy bidding, my master?

In keeping with my AFV build leanings and with my penchant for bringing order to the Galaxy I will be doing the AT-AT that I have in my stash. it’s the old MPC kit that I have had for many years sitting collecting dust.

“…prepare your troops for a surface attack”

I’m in. AMT ROTJ Tie Interceptor, my Master.

Not sure I can resist Star Wars! Especially with the new movie and new Bandai kits (X-Wing and TIE apparently already available in Japan). Probably not join until next year, though. Gotta do the Kitty Hawk Bronco first. :slight_smile:

Who indeed

Glad you like it guys and great to have you all on board.

Stik, I was just looking at Starship modeller this morning and they have a improvement set for that kit. Its a bit pricey, but you know me, just can’t resist. But from my previous build of it, its a nice kit once done and I don’t think there are any major issue with it from what I recall.

lewbud, be interested to see that one. I’ve built the FM 72nd one but I do like the larger kits as well and have been giving that one some thought.

Porkbits, no worries, sign up when ever you can, replacements will be needed throughout the campaign.

Bish, I built that kit when it was originally released back in Empire Strikes Back days of the early 80s. Any upgrades I may make this time will be whatever I can do with what I have onhand here. It should be fun!

Bish,

I’m in with a 1/32, AMT Trade Federation Tank.

Steve

Nice choice Steve, glad to have you on board.

SP, look forward to seeing what you do with it.

Bish, she’ll be in the blood red of the Emperor’s personal guard. That was my plan for the kit in the last Star Wars GB.

O, now that’s an interesting idea. Seems like you have had this on hold for a few years.

Ah jeez, now your saying that… I can rarely leave a kit alone on my own…

ok, in keeping with the spirit of this GB I gotta share this for the folks who have not yet seen this oldie but goodie…

I’ve not seen that before, that’s brilliant. I like the intro. ‘‘All suspects are guilty, period’’ Excellent.

Yeah, it has been on the back burner for quite a while.

Glad to see this one up and going. I’m in Bish, put me in for Screamin’s Chewbacca and C-3P0 in 1/4 scale! I will hopefully be able to finish my other group build by years end. Really looking forward to this.

I’d like to get in on this, if I can find a kit somewhere between snap-together and the more serious Fine Molds.

Anyway, here’s something I came across today. Looks like a scene from “Bayeux Wars: The Tapestry Strikes Back” [:P]
