Thanks! Joe has some hi-res pics on his email - I sent 'em yesterday. I really need some help with the color scheme though. I am thinking of putting some red metallic stripes on the barrels (where the inset "Flash Suppressor" is molded in, near the front) and some more gold or silver details, as well as putting a critter of some sort on it. I was thinking a scorpion, or a corba. Alternatively, I was thinking a little mushroom cloud on the side "SuperflyTNT's Mark Of Authenticity". Still debating. Also, the yellow on the base isn't exactly how I envisioned; I was hoping to make it look like the sandy beach of Kasshyyk, but it just looks like the republic trooper is a coward and peed himself. I'm heading out to get some brown enamel next, and some more epoxy. I was thinking of 'beading' some to make the base look uneven and rocky, then putting some grass colored and dirt colored bits all over it. I was also going to get a 7/16 drill but and pock mark up the front shield under the barrels so it looked battle-damaged. At this point, though, I don't really want to mess it up so I may save that for a 'Droid Army Turret" down the road, with a similar concept, but a BDC standing in the back.

That's an excellent idea, Superfly! And I do like the idea of having different common troopers behind the turret. I may have to come up with a few more gunships so I can try that out myself.

I don't want to water down the thread for Nota, but call me up and I'll walk you through assembly. It's cake.

Don't worry about it super.
If anyone needs a gunship I have quite a few, and will trade them disproportionally (in your favor).

That turret is cool. You should make raffle prizes too. There should also be a huge trading session too.

There will be plenty of time to trade as people like, I will be bringing all of my extra figs to trade. If there is enough interest we can do a raffle. If there is enough interest in anything we could probly do it (keeping in mind I do want this to be a kid friendly environment) Oh, by the way, if I can convince my mom. I might be able to come. Very good man. Just let me know and I'll ad you to the list.

Hey, I'm shipping the newly modified Gunship today. Added gold details to front, red "plasma" to flash suppressors, and some details to side of turret and gold on sides of hit panels. Photos: *Edit: After I took these, I touched up the hit panels with some more silver, painted the entire base sand-color, and added some little details...the perfectionist in me was screaming out in agony!

Now that we are coming close to the month of the event, it would be nice to know how many are interested in the booster pack tourney. I have bought a few but I'd like to be prepared for anyone who is interested. The price to enter this tourney is $12, and you get to keep the figs from the two boosters you choose.

I'm in. I'm bringing some jack in case someone has some figs I want, as well as my substantial trade pile.
I'm in on the 12$ deal, if nothing else to hop up some interest.
Peace!
