    Does anyone know if AMT/Ertl or any other model kit company is planning on releasing model kits based off Episode 3? I would love to have a kit of Anikin's or Obi-wan's Jedi star fighters. A vinyl kit of General Grevious would be great, too.

    Have a peek here. I found the site using Google so I don't know how reliable they are.

    I wish I was better at building models. I have a half done TIE Advanced and an X-Wing that looks like it fell in an ocean of paint sitting on my shelf. :p

    Thanks for the tip, Laj. They look pretty cool!

    As far as increasing one's skill putting models together, remember your Jedi training, and have patience young Padawan learner. Use the Force.

    I've built quite a few models. Like I said, I'm working on a TIE & X-Wing now, and I've built 2 or 3 Star Trek models. I just suck at it. :p

    I wouldn't mind trying the Jedi Starfighter, I love that ship. I'd probably make it up to be like Mace's in the Clone Wars cartoon, though.

    A lot of the new ROTS models are only going to be available in Europe for some reason.

    I used to build lots of SW model kits when I was in my late teens. Maybe I'll pick up on my old hobby someday.

    This site might also be worth checking out.

    @LAJ_Fett: great tip on that site!

    I like to watch a website called CultTVMan, he shows people's sci fi model collection. He has some really nice Star Wars one.
