Oh, just a sweet idea, and so very well done! I bet Hasbro would be able to sell a few of those if they produced them. I really like the signature black laser cannons, it makes the transformation instantly recognizable.

PS, I had better feature this on the Front Page before Tamer gets his grubby hands on it  ;)

Love the retro look on that X-Wing, Ray! Will you also tackle the TIE Bomber? I just love the fact that the Die-Cast TIE Bomber is such an incredibly rare item, especially a carded one ;)

Thanks Art ole buddy! And H94 thanks for the FP!

I plan to eventually retrovert the following...

B-Wing
A-Wing
Y-Wing (next)
Snowspeeder  (need to buy)
Millenium Falcon (need to buy)
Slave-1 (need to buy)

I'm not going to tackle the Imp fighters as they panels are moulded so the Kenner wing decals wouldn't really work :(

And Mr B - once I get my hands on a pair of vintage Vader TIE fighter wings I'm going to tackle a Vintage Kenner 3/34" sized TIE Bomber!!

I just got my paws on an Action Fleet Snowspeeder yay!

I still need the other ships and an extra stand if anyone has one!

A stand would be brilliant Jay, just let me know how much you want for it!

Here's the Y-Wing with the mini Kenner stickers added - I just have to finish the paint job on the guns, engines and tails!

Cheers LE!

I'll have the Y-Wing finished tomorrow morning (UK Time) and will post up the finished pics then....

I've managed to get my hands on...

Snowspeeder
Millenium Falcon
Slave-1

All of which will be getting the mini Kenner treatment as well!! Next up will be the Snowspeeder

Here's the next of my mini Kenner/AF crossovers the Y-Wing

This one was far more challenging than the X-Wing due to the large number of small decals and the hollowing out of the tails. (In retrospect I should have taken more time with these!)

Still she's done and I'm almost happy with her! Next up? Snowspeeder I guess!!







WB Out!!
