As far as I know the kits more like 1/25 or 1/24 - Looks good with the 1/35 figures though...it's starwars after all.

nice idea with the optic fiber!

That kit is a 1/35 scale? Nice to know that! :)

cheers buddy the fibre optics has come out really well,but i put to many bends in it cos the light quantity has gone down with each bend....it still has light coming out at the end but there is no beam as such!!

the figures....well i`ve seen people using 1/20 and like scott says it`s more like 1/25,but 1/35 scale did`nt look to bad,and they were on sale!!!cheers peza
