FP & C and D
Sorry to hear that the garage kit co. Fantastic Plastic (FP) got a "cease & desist" from Lucasfilm in regard to their starship models paying homage to the SW movies. Luckily for me, knowing the GK market I bought the ones I really wanted. In the GK world if you hesitate you can definitely lose out.
But FP has a number of other kits based on movies, concept vehicles, or other sci-fi. Check 'em out at www.fantastic-plastic.com .

Random thoughts and a friendly warning.
Hi again, despie me saying that I would post more the fact is that I have not (duh). My latest problem involved the supposedly helpful program Ad-Aware. Fact is that once you run it, it installs a program called aaservice.exe that runs in the background all the time. As it runs it uses between 70 to 99% of the CPU! As you would expect the PC runs super slow and it even crashed my email program multiple times. Thankfully I was able to rid my PC of it. If you have it get rid of it. If you want it - choose something else. My internet security is now with www.CA.com .
Some friends knew that our heating plant died this spring and how we've had to get a new one ($$$), just recently my car started giving up the ghost. And with the Cash for Clunkers program I was finally able to unload it. Even tho I'm happy that the govt is allowing us $$ for our old cars it burns me a little that the $$ are from our taxes.
So they make a big deal about giving me some of my own money back! Anway I did manage $4500 for an $1100 car.

Clone Wars Dreadnaught
Hi all, that is if anyone is still checking in to tiny blog. With my "discovery" of Facebook, most of my chatting have been there. But anyway I'm back with my newest buy. Its the Star Wars Clone Wars Era Dreadnaught Heavy Cruiser in 1:2256 (the "new" scale for large SW ships). It was mastered by Steffan Hacker who uses the name Hackcore in the Starship Modeler Forums.
