Cazza you can pick up card at a local hobby / craft shop otherwise I found the panels from packing boxes from John Lewis were plain brown 2 to 2.5mm and colour blended nicely. You need to make sure when you're cutting that you allow for a) the folds of the box once refolded (I left a 2mm gap...

Good luck @Sundancer Squadron yes go for it hopefully will get more before / after shares on this thread. PM me if you want to sense check anything although I'm sure you've got it locked down - no pun intended.

HI Mini99 I used a 2.5mm corrugated card - near colour match to original box (you'll never see it so up to you). Corrugated gives a bit more flexibility but you could use a thinner, denser card. I don't think its necessary to use a Ph neutral card as the risk of yellowing through the card...

Thanks everyone, you're right I should do a step by step guide... I used to work in a professional art gallery which taught me a few restoration tips. Maybe I should take commissions in return for bits and bobs missing from my collection! Let me summarise a week's worth of Y-wing lockdown night...

From SAS on 27 May yes still waiting... I emailed them again today - last response was "I am unable to give an estimated despatch date of your parcel but will get it sent out as soon as we can"... hardly great customer service, even in lockdown...

Hi everyone, it's quite a long list but would love to complete my old figures, any help finding original vintage weapons gratefully received: Klaatu skiff guard staff Wicket spear Romba spear Warok bow Paploo staff Lumat bow Yoda cane Yoda snake Gamorrean axe Rebel commando rifle Prune face...
