Awesome! Nice to see you back here too Thanks,I'm about! the Imp is still in dry dock but,it's on the way!! both Harrison and my daughter are hands on arty and enjoy making stuff,my house is full of cardboard and glue most of the time!! Haven't got space for all of them so,I've told him to choose wisely. ;D It's been fun to do so far.His Mum and I work hard to get a balance but,he would be lost to planet Playstation if we let him. What with the fanastic weather and the Easter hols progress this week has been slow,this is where we are so far.... drawing the design in biro under the paint has saved on design time. Harrison's cockpit designed by him,done with Posca pens and a little help.saving weight on the head is proving tricky,some parts are now being made from polystyrene.

Brilliant interpretation of the AT AT's proportions into lego minifigure scale too. No technical data has been used.we've been drawing around Branston pickle and Marmite lids,as luck would have it they're about the right size ;D

With a name like Harrison, it'd be a travesty if he didn't like Star Wars! Excellent work!

This is brilliant! I remember me and my dad making cool stuff when i was a kid. Sadly the only thing that got saved was a woodern train shed he made for my trains. Lord knows what happened to the rest. Some of the best suprises are what your dad has made in the night after u've gone to bed!

This just gets better and better. Cantina is cool but remember: "We don't serve their kind here!" "Your droids. They'll have to wait outside. We don't want them here."

Tiki Cantina is awesome!
"This little one's not worth the effort. Come, let me get you something."
Loving the AT-AT too, looks so good now the head is starting to take shape. I really like the style you're creating here....and can't wait to see more. ;D

THIS: REALLY GIVES ME HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.My parents allowed my brother and I to use tools and stuff as soon as we understood the ramifications of cocking up or not listening to their warnings. Well done, and keep it up.
