Looking real good Bri. I've got some of the Bandai Star Wars kits (not this one alas) and I'm extremely impressed with the amount of detail in the mouldings.
You probably already know, but some of the Bandai kits react really badly to enamel paints. I watched Phil Flory build an AT-ST some time ago, and the plastic literally crumbled into pieces.

More progress the detail in this kit keeps impressing me.
But those pipes are very very delicate.

But as he cant be in the cockpit, and the rest of the inside cant be seen.... But as Jakko wrote, easy enough to make a rudimentary R2 in that scale out of the sprues.

Coming along nice. Quick as well was it 6 parsec. he did the run. (parsec is a measure of distance not time, by the way so the dropped the ball on that one).

anyone know HOW FAR A PARSEC IS as its a distance greater than a light year
i know that
chrisb
A parsec is 3.26 light years - the distance light travels in a year.
In miles, that's roughly 3.26 x 6 000 000 000 000 = 19 560 000 000 000 miles
You don't want to be going that far to pick up that paint colour you forgot!
