Smashing cardback, Stevie! Like it :wink:

 

[TC-14]

Oh, and Grant: that 1977 R2 unit is as oddball as they come... I doff my cap, good fellow!

 

[rob71]

Good work on the reseals Barry

What is the big R2 Grant?

 

[Pomse2001]

Awesome pickup guys. I check this thread often and amazed by it all.

Now here's something to blow everything out of the water courtesy of Frunkster's better half. I've two of these now and the detail on the first was awesome. This one .... unbelievable! I don't think the pics will do it justice but here it is in it's glory.



Shame about the postage damage but I'll get a frame with corner pieces to cover it. I am ecstatic with this. R5 rocks!
Frank may be better to discuss the process but it's a form of pyro art (all done freehand, no templates.) I couldn't even begin to guess how one goes about creating something like this.

Hi Rich, nice artwork, sorry to read about the postage damage

 

[Pomse2001]

Tremendous.

Heres a Kenner 1977 R2-D2 next to the more well know Kenner 1978 R2-D2

Hi Grant, cool R2-D2, I have never seen such a R2 before :shock:

 

[Pomse2001]

Big thanks to June who was able to help me out on this... Coin offer ree yees for the focus... Cases for the figures coming in the next few days so massive up date of the focus coming!

Wow another Ree-Yees, moc Spookedhippie :shock:

You must have them all now or is there still more for you to hunt ?

Pomse there is always more... Unfortunately with me buying the ex out of the house has meant my funds are rather dry at the moment to hunt

Sorry to hear about you have to buy your ex out of the house so you don't have money for star wars I wish you good luck with it

 

[rob71]

Lovely wood art Rich, I've been admiring the different examples of this today. Hope you are able to cover the damage with a frame, but it still looks awesome anyway

 

[Pomse2001]

This'll do for me until I can afford a carded figure!

Nice cardback mate :wink:

 

[db94]

What an amazing couple of pages! Some truly excellent pick ups

Jez love the framed prints above the displays 8)

Pleased to say I've added a couple of mocs to my collection. Hoping to pick up a Jabba and possibly Max Rebo band then surround them with moc palace goons, Lando Skiff, Boushh etc as a display, should look pretty nice when finished

 

[Pomse2001]

More great pic ups. Like the soft plush r2. Colin awesome klaatus. Top work. Pomse great loose pick up and also loving the ree yees with coin offer moc.

Pomse re baggies, only a few of the last 17 came in baggies. The three I need are 2 of the expensive early issues, dt Luke, blue snag. The other I have but he is sealed in a collectors case so want one for mt display is a blond Luke bespin. I think my current count is about 150 different bagged figures be that sculpt variants or coo variants. Hoping to arrange them all soon so I can take a pic to show you guys.

Keep up the good work everyone.

[Dublinjeff]

Picked up a couple of pieces lately. Nice leia bespin courtesy of Anthony

Also got lucky with a few minty card backs. Really happy with the Han bespin cards

And a sweet ROTJ Jawa card....Thanks to Mike

 

[Michael Sith]

Collected these over the last month or so.

DSD - this was bought as a completely destroyed card with the original bubble. I have replaced the whole bubble section (obviously) and also printed the entire lower section of the 4-LOM offer on the back. The card was still there but the print torn off. Getting the scale right from a template is fairly easy, but matching the colour to graft pieces on is nigh on impossible. I don't mind though. It looks nicer than the picture makes out. Ok for a first effort. One thing i'll do differently next time is to double sided tape the bubble on. Gluing a bubble onto a printed cardback makes the ink run. Any tips PM me :wink:

Greedo - pop is missing but the rest is original. Love this as it's one of my grail pieces

Rebel Commander - Palitoy reseal. Haven't done anything other than stick the bubble back

Tusken Raider - pop has been seperated from the cardback leaving no hole on the front. Gaffi stick is missing. Got this for a steal so well pleased with it.

Last up - Bespin Han. Bought on here as a beater/reseal. It's beat up but I still really like this one.

Hi x-pack, nice reseals Look like you have done some great work with all this cards, bubbles and figures. Great work mate :wink:

Xpack
Hey mate, superb cards mate, brilliant job on the DSD it looks awesome, you've inspired me even more on the reseal run

Superb work mat 8)

 

[TC-14]

Looking forward to the results of your Jabba project, Tim

Jeff, very nice cards there, especially the Han Bespin cards... and that ROTJ Jawa card is an absolute corker 8)

Always a treat to see those reseals again, Barry... top work, mate :wink:

 

[Jez]

Wow guys, the CE2 artwork seems to have been fairly popular;
Mumbo, Jammy,Maulster,Timbo, Martin,Chris-caswelbot,kuwahero,,Benny100,Rob71,Dublinjeff,Micheal Sith,Skywalker, Pomse2001,X-Pack,The Slider, DB94 & PGowdy all commenting A few have asked me where they are from, by who, is it McQuarrie? No, the artist is Malcolm Tween, he was at CE2 and signed them both. Both are limited editions, the ROTJ one was number 83 of 250 which i thought was cool seeing as Jedi was released in 1983. He had sold out of the limited run of the Hoth one, but i managed to convince him to sell me an AP (Artist Proof). Apparently he will soon be working on an Eps IV one. One is on Ebay, a few have sold

I'm impressed by your powers of persuasion, Jez :shock: an Artist's Proof is one cool piece of art to acquire. Hats off to you, Sir!

 

[Jez]

Thanks very much, i was chuffed. It was the lucky day. Spoke with and got Luke Skywalkers autograph, grabbed a limited edition Star Wars Rebels T-Shirt and a kind helper at the CE2 store allowed me to queue jump by joining the VIP queue, got some extra free Squid head autographs for my son, watched Kathleen Kennedy do her thing, found 5 euros on the floor and shared a beer with Boba Fett Jnr. I don't know what happened that day :lol:
