Couple of random ones...

AMT/ERTL's 1:6 Scale Vinyl Palpatine.

Unpainted kit.

Not their best kit as the head always looked to big for me, the sculpting on the robes isn't all that convincing and it doesn't look much like Ian McDiarmid (Or look evil enough) but I got the skin tones and eyes looking pretty good.

However, AMT/ERTL's 1:48 Scale Plastic Naboo Starfighter is really nice despite being a 'snapfast' kit. Lovely chrome and detailed decals. Weathering it just enough to match the film was quite tricky.

I was very careful to get all the details in the cockpit and on R2 correct despite the very small scale.

Kit pieces unpainted.

I've also got AMT/ERTL's plastic Speederbike and Podracer but they are covered in dust and need extensive cleaning.
