    Or an X-wing. Remember the alien ship from "My Stepmother is an Alien?"

    building my own millenium falcon

    Spectacular! Very few card models of the Millennium Falcon have a full cockpit. With lights, it should look spectacular. :thumb:

    Sure :cool: : http://starshipmodeler.biz/shop/index.cfm/product/2111_93/easy-led---30cm.cfm There are several available lengths, but it doesn't matter which you get because you can easily cut them up and hook up the remaining strips to the power supply, and it'll run just fine. :thumb:

    I still recommend Easy LEDs. They're quality, top-notch strips at low prices. I can personally vouch for them as I know their creator. They're a heck of a lot brighter than those and will not be defective; the maker personally tests each strip he makes before he sends it to Starship Modeler.

    building my own millenium falcon

    Looking good! I can't wait to see the lights in the engine! Word of advice: if you didn't already know it, make sure you build a light box for the engine lights! Doing that will make it easier on you because you won't have to light-block the entire model. Every photon will be contained within...

    Star Wars NEW Republic Gunship- Bob's Build

    If you go the gumball machine route, make sure the little capsules are made of styrene, not PFE, which won't respond to glue. An easy way to tell is that PFE is slightly cloudy.

    Star Wars NEW Republic Gunship- Bob's Build

    There are perfectly-sized 1 1/4" clear round salt and pepper shakers available at Hobby Lobby. They're specifically made for customization. The only conceivable problem is that they're bisected by a mold seam, but considering the alternatives that's not a bad trade-off. The little refill port...

    This is looking phenominal! I really love the fusion of two models; you don't really see kitbashing like this in paper modeling. :thumb: By the way, whenever I see the thread title, I think of the chorus of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up-eRyp5e0A :cool:

    Every time I visit this thread, The Beautiful Blue Danube plays in my head . . . Da-da-da-da-dum. Da-dum. Da-dum. Da-da-da-da-dum. Da-dum. Da-dum. :rolleyes:

    In the mean-time, I'm working on texturing the Deck Fighter model I built. It's slow going, but with some great tips from imcold on texturing I'm actually making some headway. I'm in school though, so don't expect this one to be churned out like the Star Destroyers were (still working on those).

    SR2 Normandy Design and Build - continued

    You really need to talk to the supervisors of the editing department and tell them to get the workers to stop frakking around, or else you'll fire them. :wink:

    Hey dude! Just trying to stay up with schoolwork. Between that a work I haven't had much time for modeling.

    Honor Harrington generic ships

    Even if you didn't do wargaming, this would be a sweet little desktop model and a nice conversation piece if a fan of HH happened to walk by. Nice work and welcome to the forum! :thumb:

    Death Star Diorama

    The Star Wars Miniatures page had tons of free interiors for gaming, but if I understand you right you want the "superstructure" Admiral Ackbar talks about in Return of the Jedi. As far as I can tell, this kit doesn't exist. It'd be dead easy to make, though. Just roll up some red and gray...
