Today's build was the 8098 Clone Turbo Tank which I finally got second hand from Ebay. I was reasonably pleased with the condition of this one but managed to find 4 or 5 broken or seriously damanged pieces and another 10 or so missing. Fortunately, I've managed to replace all the parts from my spares, though the replacement Ahsoka minifig (which the seller was clear was missing) is still in the post. The build was pretty fun but not the best I've ever done. The first section did the various extras - a mini AT scout walker, a gun rack and a command post. The next section then did the main structure of the tank (including the wheels) and the final section did all the side panelling. The finished tank looks pretty cool: In particular, I love the way that all of the extras can be stored securely inside - I don't recall seeing anything like the approach used here on any other set! This set also has two of the super-rare scala dishes which I want for...
