Jules you are the most giving person I know. This is a great gesture and the best ending to a contest I can imagine. Hats off to you sir.

HB94, in the words of Bill and Ted: that is most most excellent! I'm sure Eli will be honored and thrilled to get such a fun and unique toy! Hats, helmets, hoods, masks, and head-wraps off to you, sir!

Congrats, Jules! 

And congrats to everyone who entered.  I haven't seen this many good-looking entries in ages.

On a side-note, I think I finally found parts to build the cargo-arm I *wanted* on my mini-rig.  You know - a couple of weeks late.  Or more.  That's ok - I plan to revisit the lil guy and tweak it up proper with plenty more detail, as I've encountered a few more bits that turn out to look rather nice when properly placed.

Hi folks, I'm back!!!



Just a quick update, the Arc fighter is now ready for shipping. Simon Smith owner of Pack and Send Leeds has agreed to carefully pack and ship the custom vehicle via courier free of charge, so I'm just waiting for a confirmation of a shipping address and the one-off vehicle will be making it's way to Eli!

I'll update you as soon as it leaves UK shores....

Sorry guys, don't mean to knock the current competition off the top spot but I need to let you all know about the ARC fighter.

After speaking to Action Figure Empire it has been decided that the most appropriate thing to do with the vehicle would be to auction her here at the Yards, the proceeds will go to help Eli and his family.

As a parent my heart goes out to Eli and his family and this is the least I can do for them. The vehicle should be up for auction this week and is all ready to be shipped via courier to the winner.

Please keep an eye on the forums.

All the best,

Hangarbay94

Thank you for your continued support and generosity HB! Truly a generous offer! I look forward to the bidding!

Just wanted to remind you there's a link to a new Eli video on the "The Force Is Strong With Him" thread, very heart warming! (and I PMed Tamer another video to embed there as well)
