I need to get with Steve and update this list, it has changed much since it was posted last. Much of that stuff aside from TIE stuff has been taken care of. 
I still have molds for it, but Steve may want to do a re-release with new molds sometime this fall. I will be talking with him sometime in the next week and will start to formulate a plan..
thanks

Hello Mike,
So is there a plan ?
...for the snowspeeder I mean, no relation with the Cylon one :lol
thanks

For the snowspeeder, I still have molds that would hold 1-3 kits. I did remold some of the more detailed parts so some molds are fresh. I would need to talk to Steve to see if i could sell any out of the remaining molds. Otherwise, it needs a remold if there is enough interest, may be me that does that or may be Steve, not sure yet.
For the Std tie, my understanding is that the "koolshade" surrogate needs to be grown. It's in the works, parts of the issue is that the place they use to grow stuff has just in the last week or two gotten the machine that is capable of growing the "pies" large enough. Last attempt with a smaller machine did not work out.

Exactly correct. The old Std Tie had the koolshade pies cast into the wing stars and were clayed up real koolshade. The new Std tie will have 3d engineered and printed koolshade pies that will be all cast separately from the wing stars, much, much easier to paint. Part of the delay has been figuring out how to "print" the koolshade, until recently the shop that Steve uses did not have a machine that could handle a 2 sided koolshade pie big enough to fit the tie. The original idea was to "grow" a piece smaller but with an invisible interlock, mold that piece and cast it multiple times to get a piece big enough to cut the pies from, then mold those. That had a lot of work put into it but ultimately did not work convincingly enough because of the seam and some warping on the grown part. The new way, which has only been available since about the time of Wfest this year, should be much easier and much more convincing.
