They were originally Cochin Bantams when they arrived in the UK, however they had no relationship to large Cochins and looked quite different. They came from a different place (Peking in China) so after much debate over many years, they were renamed as ‘Pekin Bantams’. Around the rest of the World, Cochin Bantams are similar in appearance to the British Pekin Bantams although breed standards are slightly different."<br />So there you have it. But as to why they're called 'Pekin' and not 'Peking'... :PPippa Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15146591827060731958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-59531522107704621232017-05-22T11:20:58.964-06:002017-05-22T11:20:58.964-06:00Is Scoop a Cochin?

LOVE spaceships. I built the plastic model kits for pretty well all of them (except Executor - they didn't have a kit for that).

Yeah, the light rods worked quite well. <br /><br />I think the chart was done for the Death Star battle, but what captain wouldn't boast about his ship and maybe exaggerate a little. :-P <br /><br />If memory serves me right, the B-wings appeared in the final battle over Endor in RotJ. I thought them rather unwieldy but it didn't stop me buying the toy one (that and a Y-wing are the only original Kenner toys remaining of my collection).Pippa Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15146591827060731958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-56807769493429551332017-05-16T10:08:20.857-06:002017-05-16T10:08:20.857-06:00Wow, love the exhibition photos!

X-wing is still my fave design, next to the Falcon of course.<br /><br />I'm wondering from that speed and maneuverability chart if Han's description of the Falcon as "the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy" was a bit overblown. I know, I know. She did the Kessel run in 14 parsecs. (Han shouts, "12!")<br /><br />And I must confess, I don't think I've ever heard of or seen a B-Wing before. Or at least never noticed it in any of the films I've seen. Odd looking little craft.<br /><br />The Witch-king costume looks like tons of work, so kudos on recruiting the kiddo to help out and at the same time score on his school assignment. <br /><br />Those gauntlets are truly amazing.<br /><br />Hi to the chooks.L.
