Any more progress on this, or are you still 'hunkered in the bunker' building and too busy to post? ;) :)

Damn the torpedoes... full speed ahead!! Wheeeee! :eek:

I'm sure your patron will love it. You just can't beat the hell out of these corvettes enough!

[Apophis]

Yeah, i know it, i really like corvettes, they just have a certain style all thier own!
Well, this makes #4

[R L Bleecker]

I think it would be cool to modify one of these to look like the concept M. Falcon... you know... with the existing M. Falcon cockpit in the front and the round sensor dish instead of the 'Snow Plow' dish... and add landing gear.

THAT would be unique and interesting, mayhaps!

[Apophis]

If I had two spare models, i would build one falcon proto and one ROTJ corvette, with the windows and extra guns, and even put lights in it to show the interior through the windows :D
