More markers and the Dspiae sander.

Very cool Mike, I've been impressed with the cockpits and other stuff you've been doing with those markers. I'd be interested to see how you get on with that sander.

I have the mini sander from David Union after following jkim many builds. Well worth the $100 shipped directly from Taiwan 3 or 4 years ago.

That's good to know Tom, what do you use it for? (obviously sanding lol!)

Whatever sanding needed. Sometimes it’s better than doing it by hand. I like the fact it’s variable speed. Slow, medium, fast and whatever speed you want in between. Comes with sandpaper sheets and a variety of sanding heads. I can position sanding heads horizontally or vertically.

Not familiar with Medic’s sander brand. He didn’t mention if it’s a variable speed type, variety of sanding heads, sandpaper sheets, etc…

Even my Dremel is a variable speed type.

Within the past week I have picked up these items...

Nice score, Carlos! I haven’t seen the Stormtrooper figure kit since the Star Wars movie first came out back in the mid 70s.

I don’t remember seeing any Stormtrooper kits back then. But this is a 21st Century Bandai kit anyways, and builds up like a Gundam, so I am really looking forward to building this one. Something truly new for me

Now go find the Bobba Fett figure

I did this kit back around 1984…



That’s the kit with the Stormtrooper but on a speeder bike
