Looking at the two Colosseums, I have to say that Jekca looks more like Lego than Lego.
Ave, Jekca, morituri te salutant!

Six feet…a little over half way there!•• Bill's cryptic reference is to my recent interest in finding out what it might cost to commission a full sized replica of the original 11 foot model.

I’m having a hard time showing scale in my photos! When I’m holding it it feels huge!

Ah, so about the same as my "studio scale" version.Thanks. BTW, for scale I usually put my glasses next to whatever I'm photographing.

Bill, what is the Falcon? Is it new or is it the old
Kenner toy from 1979? (perhaps repainted, as mine is sort
of a tan colour)

JB: good idea, I’ll use that.
Paul: No, this is from 2008. However you can see my original 1979 Falcon in the background of the first picture I posted.

Bill’s display makes me SO glad my STAR WARS collecting did not go very much beyond the original movie!
