Hi I have these projects posted over at SSM, but I've noticed there's great work being done here also......so let me introduce myself, I'm 43, from Northern Ireland, been building models since I was a kid.....a good lot of them Star Wars kits
Heres a few photos I dug out:

All above are now sadly no longer with me.....but....I've got 4 more in various stages of development:
1x Fine molds 1:72
2x Revell easykits
1x Revell minikit
The Fine Molds kit is almost built...not painted...a bit daunting:
Here's some of my 1/72 Fine Molds....I've extended the details of the visible parts in the open sections:

and reduced the parallel Mandibles a bit:

The extended details in place:

The 1st Revell kit has had its sidewalls trimmed down and I was recreating the details for the sidewalls when production stopped.....child number 2 came along and the spare room became her room.....models etc retired to loft:

The 2nd Revell kit I've posted on the Star Wars Forum as 'Millennium Falcon pre-modification', but I'm not sure now what I'd call it:

and the underside which I'm not totally happy with...especially the triangular nose section:

Just need to keep going with them & this group build has given me the inspiration to get back to them,
