Well guys I’m new to this site, but not to building models and the like. I’m a 54 yr old guy from Alabama. Been a Machinist all my life, so it comes natural to make parts and assemble what you make, still love it after all these years.
I love building all sorts of things, my current build is a full size R2D2, from which I’ve joined the R2 builders website. That build is on going,
When I saw that the X wing was available I had to jump on it. Just ordered it a couple of days ago. I’ll probably start a build log to show the trials I go thru with my first DeAgostini build.
Most of my builds are from scratch, I’ve got a TOS Captain Kirks command chair that is 98% finished, just waiting for a friend to complete the electronics. That was built totally from scratch but is 100% screen accurate. Some other small builds include a 50’s style retro ray gun, the earth stones from the Fifth Element movie. Just whatever catches my fancy.
Hell I’ve also just finished a steampunk/industrial style wet bar and Dining room table for my house. Spent 10 yrs building a pro-touring 70 Chevelle that I sold just a couple of years ago.
I guess what I’m saying about myself is I don’t think I can have too many projects going on, never have liked having idle hands. Just have too many crazy ideas rambling around in my head!

I’ll get this figured out one way or another, I used to go thru photobucket when I was building the Chevelle and was posting the build on a couple of sites.
Plus issue 1 thru 4 arrived today!!!! Awesome!!
