1 x UK Palitoy ATAT Driver restokit
1 x Trilogo ROTJ ATAT Driver restokit
1 x Polish Bootleg restokit (For an ATAT driver of course  )
1 x Trilogo Luke Jedi (This one is actually for me as part of my mini Luke Jedi focus!)

Cool deal! I would love to just come see that room full of all that vintage goodness someday.

Have you ever done a youtube video of your room? If not, I definitely would. Folks would like to watch it.

[Wookie-Balls]

Hey Tamer!

I'm holding off on a video as my collection is outgrowing the bunker - I'm hoping to have my garage converted during the summer into a full on man cave, it'll house my SW stuff, vintage gaming gear, transformers and a mini gym!!

I've just secured the last of my vintage SW for the the next three weeks or so. I won a genuine Luke Jedi blue saber, a green one, two palace blasters, various other guns and parts and two (!) MTV-7 mini rigs (the funny ESB ones with wheels on spring-loaded legs.)

The cards I've ordered should allow me not only to complete Tamers six drivers but also three Jedi Lukes, an Emporer,  three Boba Fetts, and POTF Anakin and Imp Gunner!! Now if only they would arrive!!

[Tamer]

Wow, I like the sound of you expanding your room! I bet it will be cool.

I also like the sound of you getting in the supplies for those six driver. Oh, that reminds me I either need to send you some starcases to protect that vintage goodness or either have you buy some over there and reimburse you cause I would be heartbroken if they didn't arrive in the shape you have pictured. My posties are awful.

Anyhow, pm incoming, as I need to get you paid for those carding supplies anyhow. I appreciate you letting me join your restoration project  a bit. I am so jonesing now for some hoth playsets.

Hey y'all !!

Finally got a day off and the paints out!! Here's what I've been up to...



Here's the first of the six Walker Drivers that I'm restoring for Tamer - this chap needed a moderate amount of paint touch ups and general cleaning. He is going to be recarded onto a UK Palitoy restoration card.



And here's number 2 in the group. This guy needed quite a bit of paint work, and is the awkward lighter grey colour which is a PITA to match! I had to hand finish the rubs of his helmet decals too. He has been mounted on a Europe Trilogo ROTJ card...



That's all for the moment - I'm waiting on LOTS of card kits arriving from the US before I can crack on with my next run...thanks for reading

WB Out!!

Looking very minty Ray! I really like the look of that tri logo card! I know Tamer will be happy to see this update! That is one impressive list of upcoming projects! Keep up the good work man!

[Tamer]

Nice!!!!!!!!!!

What a great way to start the morning.

We are podcasting with Ray this week too. Fun. Fun.

[Wookie-Balls]

Hey folks!

I am still alive - just had a very busy seven days at work! The last few days has seen some great packages arrive at my house and I'm cracking on with some new items.

I'm STILL waiting on the arrival of my beggars canyon toys card kits (sadly each order seems to take longer from those guys.)

But in the mean time I've just received a new batch of moulding silicone and hydrogen peroxide 

All a swap with Darth Optimus has provided me with a set of vintage Kenner Hoth figures to man my playsets! So until I can get going with some more painting / carding here's two new found Hoth buddies sharing a tub!



More soon

WB Out!!

[Luke Sprywalker]

I know how you feel Ray, I too have very little free time on my hands. Glad you found some more Hoth Troopers and thanks for the update!

[Tamer]

Hey, this is the HP Bath you talked about on our podcast. Cool stuff!

[Wookie-Balls]

Little bits sorted over the last few days, here are the ATAT Driver and the Hoth Luke (donated by Darth Optimus) after they've been scrubbed and de-yellowed in the HP bath!



Also pictured are a replacement Toy Island Robocop helmet and vintage Snowtrooper rifle that I made from my own moulds!

Expect paint on those two vintage figures very soon!

WB Out!!

[Mando Assasin]

They look cool!

[smeagol92055]

...Did a Wampa attack them too? 

[Tamer]

That is my type of bacta tank.

It looks like your casting is going great. Back on the fp.
