Very nice, indeed. I am old enough to remember Starbird and it's shorter counterpart. I used to have a Starbird ship and kind of remember the cardboard landing pad but didn't have it.

Awsome stuff, man!

Last count, 3,164...

We could book in a play-date, you could bring round your vehicles and figures, I'll set up the playsets. I've got a wood at the back of my garden which is where my kids play with the endor stuff. At the moment anyone lucky enough to walk round the back of our house will find a legion of the Emperors finest troops guarding the place....

Remember this?

Ahh those were the days...

And there it is. I so wanted that playset. As I remember, that little wheeled cargo carrier held the removable starbird engine insert. Man, that was a cool toy that held a mercury switch inside that would alter the sound effects of the ship as you pointed the nose up or down. Like kids need a toy with a mercury switch.
  I fondly remember that ship.

This thread is great! That playset is so cool!

Once again, thanks guys!

Here are some more images of foamcore models I've been making:



This was my attempt at a 70's retro model influienced by early Japanese Anime


And this was made for my most prized possssion, a Die Cast toy I've kept snce 1981 called Jaguar Vulcan


Sorry again if I'm going a bit off topic, I know this isn't Starship medeller, but I just wanted to show it to you...From here on in it's Star Wars.

[Clonehead]

That's some cool stuff, again. I believe that you sure did capture the look that you were going for.
Good job on that stuff.

Reminds me a bit of Neptune station from G-Force (Gatchaman). I loved that cartoon as a kid.
