Looks like you've gotten off to a great start. Attention to detail is remarkable. (That box cover is awesome, by the way.)

Sadly, that makes a lot of sense. Let's hope so

I hadn't thought of that. It is kind of encouraging when you think about it. I guess you're right. I didn't know about that one. I'm not fond of board games but I'm gonna take a closer look at the Fantasy Flight Games models. They look pretty nice. Thank you very much.

Have you ever tried it? I'm really curious to know what those 3D ships are worth.

Hello, This could very well be a question that has come up several times before but I can’t seem to find an answer anywhere. Maybe someone here has some insight into this. My question is this: Why is it that there are no more decent-sized, easily-obtainable, plastic model kits of ships from the Star Wars universe out there? Ships like the Tantive IV, the Radiant VII or the Nebulon-B frigate? I know there are resin model kits of some of those ships in a few places on the internet but they are VERY rare and VERY expensive, even without shipping costs. Bandai has released decent-sized models of star-fighters - X-Wing, Y-Wing, TIE Fighters, etc - and Revell has produced great models from bigger starships - Millennium Falcon, Venator-class Star Destroyer, Imperial Star Destroyer. So why would they stop there? Ships like the Tantive IV, Darth Maul’s Sith Infiltrator, or the Republic Attack Gunship for instance, would make for awesome plastic model kits. And I’m talking about big model kits ; not those insignificant 5-inch long plastic models. I feel like great opportunities have been missed, here.

Hello, people I’ve only been building model kits for three years and I'm excited to be here. Being fairly new to the world of model kits, I’m always looking to learn new things and hone my skills to the best of my abilities, and this looks like a great place to do that. My main interests in the field are science fiction model kits and WWII fighter aircraft model kits (and the stories behind them). All in all, I’m just looking forward to sharing ideas, pictures and tips if that's okay with you, and generally maintain the passion. Thank you.
