Arc-170 in Luftwaffe colors.  No other mods to the kit.

This one actually originated during my comprehensive exams during grad school.  One of my questions was "Discuss reasons for Union victory and Confederate defeat."  I later joked around that it was because the Union had dinosaurs. LOL  this was my first attempt at painting figures, so these guys got a very basic job of standard enamel paints.  I've thought about redo'ing the figures, but I sorta like to keep them the way they are.     ---T-rex was from one of those science stores in the mall, and the figures are those plastic "Civil War" sets from Hobby Lobby.

This is one of my favorites.  :)  When discussing the AMT Vader's Tie Fighter, everyone always says that Darth looks like he's going to the bathroom rather than flying.  So I thought I'd help him out.

He is going to be pretty upset when he sees there's only one sheet of tp left.

While I really like your Civil War dinosaur diorama, I think Darth Vader on the throne takes the cake!

Nice work!

 So if it gets stuffed up, does he use the plunger or the force?

Waves his hand over the bowl while growling "I find your lack of flow - disturbing"

Gets a skype call from the emperor while on the pot... then uses the force to choke another fleet admiral for not assigning him an unlisted biffie.
