I have always been a horrible model builder. This has not stopped me from trying time and again. The problem is that I can never control my glue. I really liked to the look of the MPC Empire Strikes Back Model kits, because they are really more diorama than model. And as anyone who knows me will tell you, I am a nut for a diorama (I am also horrible at making those).

Wow! I love model kits and have never seen or gotten any of the dioramas, ebay here I come!
I assembled the Hoth diorama pictured above. It was a lot of fun – but with my poor painting skills – didn’t look nearly as impressive as the one on the box…
speaking of MPC models, do you guys remember the MPC “snap Action” pirates of the Caribbean models?

most impressive!
I had the Battle On Hoth kit, and I loved it to death. All those little soldiers, artillery pieces, aircraft, and, of course, the beautiful AT-AT walkers. Fantastic.
