These look really good! Excellent job. The A-Wings are probably my favorite.

Hey, welcome aboard! Nice username btw! Xzibit would like it. Your fleet looks great all weathered up! I really like the A-Wing, too! Isn't the design based on a McQuarrie concept? The A-Wing and TIE Striker seem to have gone on discount in the U.S. big time also because of their NERF  action. Well, I've seen people removing this play feature and customize them up! I really like the sand finish of the TIE! U-Wing looks awesome, too! It's amazing what a little weathering can do. Cool stuff here!
The weathering on the falcon looks great, too! At first sight I thought it was the Legacy Falcon, but no...

Wow, now that is the way to say hello. The weathering on this is just stellar. Off to the front pages and welcome to ISY!

Also, I tried searching the item number and I can't find it. Maybe it sold. If you put a link here for the listing I can feature that too.

Thank you for the welcome and thank you for the feedback  8) ..lol i remember that pimp my ride program  ;) ..it does look like that A-Wing concept art by McQuarrie so you could well be right, "a keen eye you have" in my best Yoda voice ha!  ..sadly no, it's not the legacy version, it's the one with the annoying nerf gun  ()rr  ..yep! a bit of weathering really brings out all the details on these great toys, it's well worth the time spent doing them

I enjoyed watching the show of West Coast Customs on MTV back in the days...the days in which every car they pimped needed to have at least one aquarium inside.
I was wondering about the Legacy Falcon because I wouldn't have the guts to customize it. I got mine on discount for 99,99€ instead of 199,99€ in 2009. The cheapest one I got was at 70€. But still I wouldn't do it, yet. I'll start on smaller (cheaper) vehicles like the BARC Speeder. But talking about customizing rare/expensive stuff: Your weathered AT-AT looks brilliant! If it's missing parts like missles and hatches, there are definitely ways to replace them ;)

Just let me know what you need to complete your BAT-AT :) love that big boy!

Fish tank in a car? that's crazy!  :o ;D  ..i'm in the same boat with my legacy falcon, it would look better weathered but it's such a legendary toy now with us collectors i want to keep it original as tempting as it is to get the paints out lol. my legacy AT-AT was starting to discolour so that was an easy decision. it's missing both missiles, the other side cannon on the head and some how my kids also lost the bit the speeder bike shoots out on, let them play with it for a few weeks and get it back wrecked lol

I had a look at that link, nice job on the repo's, they came out really nice  8)  ..i'm also missing the sonic bombs and missiles from my big slave one, the missiles from my V-Wing, the missiles from my imperial Arc 170, the small hatch from my legacy falcon, the cannon's and stands from my rebel transport which has just arrived, will start work on that tomorrow  0/

Now that Walker is nice. Hope you get the missing pieces. Off to share that U Wing auction too.
