Good evening, I have already received the AT-AT cannons. Tomorrow I will install them. I hope they turn out great. I have other ships that need some repairs. I hope you can help me. Thank you very much. Happy New Year.
@@EdwardWalker-mq2lh I look fwd to seeing how the chin guns turn out. Good luck 🤞. Let me know what you need help with and I’ll try to assist you the best I can. Happy New Year to you as well!
@@aviansavage6338 thank you my friend. The jacket was a gift from my wife and I love it as well. Thought it was perfect for this particular video. All the best and Merry Christmas!
First, Merry Christmas and a Happy and blessed coming New Year Doug. I love that Hoth jacket. I have the Han Bespin one without the hood 😊 you know, I'm glad you mentioned that at the beginning of this video on how you are still learning, I was just telling my daughter about how you gave me advice on doing this and how I was nervous but you told me how it takes time to get used to it, now she wants to do it but is nervous, so what you was saying to me I was telling her. Anyway, back to this video, you're really getting quite good with these dioramas looking real movie accurate. I may say thanks for sharing....
@@LeonardLee8979 I always love hearing from you Leonard. You are kind and thoughtful with all your comments and always very complimentary. Yes it’s a work in progress: this whole UA-cam business. It’s fun though and you have to remind yourself of that when you stumble. I want to see others succeed in this so I’m always happy to help others along the way. I’ve still got a long way to go but with kind folks like yourself supporting me along the way it becomes a bit easier. Tell your daughter that I said good job and to just go for it! If she makes a mistake or 2 along the way it’s ok. Like I just told my wife when she was struggling with something “you only fail when you quit, so never quit”! Happy Holidays to you and your family my friend and as always MTFBWY
Hey Doug. Great work and Merry Christmas to you. That Han and Leia scene was always one of my favorite parts. I love making dioramas with corridors and depth to invite my mind to other places. What's around that corner? Or what's behind that door? Years ago around the time of ESB we had a refrigerator that iced up and that's where my Luke Hoth would hang out a lot of the time. Come ROTJ my brother was always freezing Han in there. Those poor figures. Probably the first dioramas we ever had. And so cool. Our mum goes to the freezer and finds Luke hanging upside down in there. What the?
@@gecko-sb1kp those are some amazing stories my friend. Thanks for sharing those memories with me. My friend made a cool Han in Carbonite when we were kids. I’d love to find it and share it on the channel (it was that good). I love Luke hanging upside down in your mums freezer. Classic! I love hearing all the memories that people have of growing up with these figures. It’s truly why I started this channel in the first place. Happy holidays to you and your family and as always MTFBWY
@@DougAlan-atswc Thanks so much for your kind words Doug. Our memories of what we did with our Star Wars figures can be crazy. There was 10 years between me and my brother. I pretty much grew up with 8' Mego figures in the 70s. So many of them and I pretty much had them all and they were around 2 dollars each. I had larger ones like the 12' GI Joes and Six Million Dollar Man but when Star Wars came along my mum freaked out' Luke was my first in April 1978 and he was the only one in the store. He was $1.99. The cheapest of them all I ever seen in Australia. All the others were $2.50. I had to say please with sugar on top that day to get him. You see, she was just used to paying that amount on 8' figures. My brother was into ESB AND ROTJ but of course he went on collect Voltron and Masters of the Universe stuff whilst I became more interested in girls being 10 years older. But I got lured back to Star Wars 😀
@ Star Wars collecting is something that always kinda stays with you I think (that is if you grew up with it in the 70’s and 80’s). My first figure (and I mention it in my top 10 Kenner figures video) was R2-D2. It was a present from my Grandma on Easter in 78. She got me R2 and my brother Chewie. From there we collected the remaining 10 with the cloth caped Jawa being the final figure we collected. It was a present from my Vava (Portuguese for grandmother). She bought it at KMart for about $2. It’s been all guns blazing since then! This hobby has brought me a lot of joy so I keep trying to share that love and passion with the collecting community. It brings me smiles when I hear from fans like yourself that share in that same joy. Keep up the great job of spreading the Star Wars love and I promise to keep pumping out the videos. All the best and Happy New Year my friend!!!
@@DougAlan-atswc I'll try to keep this one brief 😄 but I just wanted to mention that my second figure was R2D2 about 2 weeks after Luke and there were scores of them hanging on pegs. About two weeks after that I got Darth, 3PO, Leia and Srormtrooper on the dame day and Landspeeder. (May school holidays). Then no new figures anywhere until I got Han,Ben, Tuskan Raider and Death Squad Commander on my birthday (January 20 1979). Two weeks later a Jawa finally appeared in a store. Just one and I got him (along with the die-caste Tie fighter). And that was from a bookshop not even a toy store or supermarket. This is all leading up to my mystery of why Chewbacca was my last. A lot of people have said Chewie was one of their first and being one of the first made with the early bird release it makes sense. Finally, on February 22 1979, my mum went to the city and I asked to please bring me home Chewbacca. It was a 100 to 1 chance in my books but she did it. When she pulled Chewie out of that brown paper bag and I seen his blue eyes coming towards me it was the most beautiful sight. From April 1978 to February 1979, I finally had them all. I never knew that a few months later when I walked into a department store I would be throwing my head back and yelling 'Aaaarrrrr!' when the second wave was hanging on their pegs. Like sand through the hour glass they just keptacomin... A happy new year to you and your family Doug and a sage one. And to all our Star Wars fans... OMG, I wrote all that without running out of ink 😅
Thank you very much Happy New Year
