| Well I had two of the At-St from Wal-Mart and I decided to add some paint to the boring looking paint scheme that came from the factory. After doing that I look at my Big Millennium Falcon and while the paint is pretty good on it it really could use some more scuffs, scars and blaster marks. I am debating on if I should do this or not. I have two of these and one is still in the box. So my qestion is should I do it or not. What do you guys think? Here is picture of my At-St. | |

| Thanks for the input. I tell you I really want to drill a million tiny holes inside the cockpit and canopy and inside the living quarters and light the thing up. I really want to mod it and don't plan on selling it so I'm not worried about resale value. I've got one of those fiber optic minature Christmas Trees and that would be perfect for routing all the light for this thing. This is my dream. Don't know if I'll ever get that far with it but if I do I'll post pictures. Thanks again. | |

| Well not long after posting the question. I decided to do it. I have two of them and while the paint scheme is pretty nice on the BMF it could be better. My own little slogan I made up playing on the 3M quote. DM-I don't make the toys! I make them better. I haven't customized to much and I've still got a ways to go on this but here are some pictures of work so far. First picture is of Plain BMF left mandible unpainted right mandible painted Upper body of BMF with my at-st Close up of upper body of BMF I've still got a lot of painting to do and then hopefully I can figure out how to light the interior! | |

| So far, Mater, That looks GREAT! To be honest, I don't know if any more paint is needed. Just my humble opinion. BUT, it is your ship, do it up the way you want. To me, though it looks SWEET! | |
