Enlisted and thanks for running this.

Too many choices in the stash as well. I'm kind of leaning towards one of Saw Gerrera's Partisans' X-Wings in the black and white scheme at this moment, but will decide once I finish the Auto Modeler GB I'm working on right now.

Enlisted and actually started this past weekend.

I figured I'd best ask about something before proceeding. I picked up a Bandai AT-ST in 1/48 scale. The plan is to to kitbash it in to a BattleMech...something along the lines of a Flea in 1/35 scale. Is that okay?

If it's okay, I'll post the starter pics and maybe some progress pics by the end of the week. If not, I'll go with something else.

as long as the majority of the completed work is Bandai then that's ok as far as i am concerned.

Howdy Y'all
I don't know if these kits will be acceptable. I've already started building them. I would do all 3 (4?) for the campaign.
The models I've worked on the most were the 1/144 Combat Assault tanks. I painted them with Tamiya's Field Gray because I wanted to experiment for myself if the color was acceptable for Soviet armor. I still have some shading, filters, dry brushing and weathering to complete. I also need to complete the storage containers that go on the back of the tanks.

Next up is a Tie Striker from the U-Wing Fighter kit. I want to use the kit stickers as a mask for the canopy. You can see I have the round canopy primed. Still need to prime the rest of the model and paint, add filters and weathering.

Last but not least is the Blockade Runner. This kit fell together and I had to stop myself. I want to base coat it in black and have fun airbrushing shades of gray. I bought some aftermarket decals on eBay so I won't have to use the kit stickers.

Let me know my plan is acceptable for this campaign.

Take care,
Don "Lakota"

@Klaus-Adler – David,

I’ve enlisted to the campaign. Need to get my feet wet again after not building or finishing much of anything in a long while. The time-line works for me, something always seems to creep up to get in the way when you’re having fun! Fighting a head cold and a very strong pink eye that won’t go away. . .



This is the 1:12 scale Bandia Star Wars model kit that I’ve chosen to build for this campaign. Out of the box this kit appears to be a rather easy kit to put together but I will be adding some lighting to the eyes and body, this will be my first attempt to light a kit, let’s see how that goes? I will also be adding and modifying parts of the kit to show an upgraded production model but keeping the changes simple as not to change much of the droids signature appearance. Let me know if that fits the campaign criteria?

@Klaus-Adler – David,

Thank you for your reply it is much appreciated. I’m finally getting over a very nasty chest cold that started turning into a serious lung issue, but all is well now and the pink eye is gone. I have not been able to build at all even though I have tried just recently with a small scale tank. I’m fighting the mojo and just managed to submit a review on the kit I have chosen to model for this campaign. I hope this breaks the spell of not modeling. I will be posting some progress pics soon. I was also waiting on some ordered items for the lighting and paint.

David, I have gone over to Britmodeller, to check out the article that you suggested on lighting the K-2SO but have not found it as of yet. Lighting this kit will be a first for me so I hope to learn something new and will share that with all of you.

@Bluestab – Alex,

You’ve really gone the way of fun with your project, creating a 1:35 scale Battlemech from a 48th scale kit. Like what you are doing and thanks for posting all of the pics showing the progress that you’ve made as you go, too cool. Good idea with the backstory, I’ll have to give my build a similar writing.

This campaign is off to a good start with all of the builds to be done here. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in store.
