Looking good Chewie
If you resize your pictures to 640 x 480 then when you attach them they will appear as pictures rather than downloads

Davetwin....Thank you for the resizing advice!! Here is the first shot at the base color for the hull. No weathering just yet. Tried to make the gun a little darker around the barrel and of course need to color back the panels. Chewbacca attached the following image(s): Dad and Husband

The binder came yesterday and I must admit, I am a little waffled on how to place the magazines in it. I am assuming the little white bits pop of and snap into the holes at the top and bottom. Anyone have any pictures, I have not seen a three ring binder without any rings:):):)  Hopefully this means my parts will arrive today As always thanks in advance to those who read and post!

So this binder will only hold 22 issues, but the entire build is supposed to come with 100 issues. Does that mean we are going to get a total of 5 binders to hold all of the issues? Also, not digging the binder. I was hoping it was a standard 3 ring binder that I could put protective sleeves in for my issues. I don't want them to get all dirty and banged up. Bummer... Charles R.

You are correct that you will need 5 binders for the whole series, each one holds 20 issues
