Thanks guys. I'm really proud of my collection, and I'm just glad to show it to other fellow Star Wars fans and collectors as I don't have any friends who have this hobby.

Hey GoldLeader, I know what you mean,.   I too am a 'wierd guy' around here, due to having a room in my house completely full of Star Wars 'stuff'; just so remember you are not alone, my friend.   Pics of collections to us are always very cool!!

Awesome. In the last couple of years i've got really into the pilots...i'm trying to get them all.  In the last Hasbro Q&A they said they are going to try to make a lot more pilots so that's good news.

[Luke Sprywalker]

Awesome collection of pilots! If you didn't know I am also into pilots and the astros that fly with them. What head is that for Arvil? Also wondering how you decided to use it over the one we got from hasbro? Look forward to seeing more when you get/make them.

[Goldleaderone]

Thanks guys. Luke, the Arvel figure is the one that came with the Green Leader A-Wing from The Legacy Collection. All my pilots are stock pilots, no part swapping or anything. I'm just waiting for the Snowspeeder Luke pilot and then I can do Rogue Squadron from Hoth.

This is so nice Gold! As i said on msn I'm super impressed by the pictures and after watching these i think i will have to start collecting on these awesome rebel pilots again.

[Tamer]

Good looking pics. It is nice to see a collection of rebel pilots together.

[Luke Sprywalker]

Doh! I even have that figure, somehow it looked different. I wonder what the deal is with the Asian looking Arvil we got in the potf days?

Haha its cool. I read that they named the Chinese guy Arvel by mistake. He was supposed to be one of the Y-Wing pilots. Who I'm not sure though.

Luke speaking of customs, I want to do some head swapping, I'd like to put a Tycho Celchu and Keyan Farlander head on one of the usual orange flightsuits. I was messing around today, for Tycho the body from Wedge from the Red 2 X-Wing pack seems to work. The head stays on but its very loose, any idea how to tighten it a bit?

[Luke Sprywalker]

Yes, put a small bit of vasoline on the neck nub, put a dab of hot glue in the head hole, pop it on then run it under cold water while turning the head. The glue dries quickly this way and wala you are done. If you have excess glue just trim it with an exacto.

I have noticed an Asian Y wing pilot with a different helmet. Almost looks female.

[Goldleaderone]

Couldn't help myself on this one. I head swapped Tycho's head on John D. Branon's body just for this picture.

Red Flight  (X-Wing Book 9: Starfighters of Adumar)



Red Leader - Wedge Antilles
Red 2 - Tycho Celchu
Red 3 - Wes Janson

[Goldleaderone]

I'm sure this squadron needs no introduction.
