Mine is almost 8 inches or around 20 cm in height. That's just a rough measurement though, I kinda used a tape measure from the landing gear up and sorta eyeballed the top of the dish. I heard that officially it's supposed to be around 192mm (7 and a half inches) tall? I suppose it might differ...

Thought the movie was pretty good. Enjoyed it a wee bit more than the first one I must admit. Plenty of laughs to keep me entertained and yeah, that mid-credits scene, man. I enjoyed Michael Pena's role here and laughed at the return of his monologue, though it wasn't as much of a scene-stealer...

Is this a misdirection? Nothing to do with the game Donkey Kong itself but the arcade concept? Are you building THIS?!

Check out Matt's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/RiseOfTheMattMobile/ I am, without a doubt, so thrilled to see what I see! :D

LOL. Bought issue #100 last month from the bookshop and only just recently opened it (cos I wanted the remote to play with). Didn't realize until much later that this sprue was in there as well. Looks like some Asian countries are getting the missing pieces with issue 100 (no issue 100A for us)...

LOL, that looks much better! :lol

Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon Wow! Second place?! That is excellent! Well done, and that is a sweet looking Falcon too. Nice work! :thumbsup

What's with this photo? There are control sticks sticking out of the seats ~ looks like parts of the image are duplicated - the front seats, control sticks, and the panel that the compressor is sitting on... Even the yokes are duplicated... Looks super weird. :facepalm

To those of you that have done the Falcon's landing gear with the guitar strings to simulate pipes and hoses, may I ask what size/make of strings did you use? I went to my local music shops but they only carry strings that are packed in cardboard packaging that make it hard to see how thick they...

Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon That is amazing work and attention to detail! Nicely done, kokkari! That is fantastic! :thumbsup

Well, I finally got a reply from Lorraine. She has informed me that Chris has recently had surgery as a result of heart problems and has been unable to use one of his arms since an artery from that arm was used in the procedure. Looks like they are definitely behind on a lot of orders but has...

Thanks! I'll try his website and see if I can get anywhere.

I ordered my lights from Chris Holland in July and haven't heard from him since. He doesn't answer on Facebook Messenger where I have contacted him and his wife before. Should I be worried?

Great advice! Thanks a lot, guys!!
