    Call me underwhelmed 🙄 The X-Wing's have got a nice design/colour scheme, but nothing that couldn't be done with paint to the existing kits.

    I'm not really sold on D-0 as a character, so the two pack with BB-8 isn't tempting me.

     

    I suppose it's about what I was expecting, and in line with the releases we saw from the last film, but I was secretly hoping for something new and a little more interesting.

    I agree with you that a proper masking can  be applied to former x-wings kits to achieve the same painting outcome but from the images (source😞spacer.png

    it seems the new kits are designed to have colored sections separated from the white/grey ones making the painting easier.

    Many thanks for that. Not that valuable then, and probably only of use to a very few die hard fans I imagine.

    Ah well. So long as it goes to a good home. It's doing nothing at the moment sitting in a shoebox.

    I agree. I'm a big fan of the original run (seen long time ago in my infancy) and I have appreciated the new series, but I have at least 15 related kits to be built in my stash so I guess I'm fine for the next 10 years or so!😉

    I would like some information about a Yamato kit I was given a few years ago.

    It's a Bandai space Battleship mechanic file dated 2005. It's the 2199 ship. Scale unknown.

    Multiple parts and layers form the ship and it rests on a black frame.

    To me it looks like a part work of eight parts most of it in Japanese.

    I know it came from Japan, so is it rare over here? 

    I'll never build it but would like to know it's worth before I sell it on.

    Thanks

    Pete

    First time I've ever heard of this kit. Some info on 1999.co.jp: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10045437 I guess from the size (37 cm long) it should be 1/700 scale.

    It's no Unicorn Gundam but still cool, thanks for posting that.

    Yes this mecha should be 8 meters tall, still really impressive!

    The animated movies of Patlabor directed by Mamoru Oshii (director of the original "Ghost in the Shell") have a special place in my otaku hearth: highly recommended!

    Yep, next step will be weathering.

     

    I'm not sure what kind of weathering styles needs  for this kit, may be little chipping, little rust and little wash. I thint these are enough for this little guy.

    This model is taken from a live series (Patlabor the Next Generation), you can take some image from the series prop (1/1 size) as inspiration: http://www.gunjap.net/site/?p=159600

    I have the same model and sooner or later I'm going to use this kind of references for the build! HIH!

    Pretty certain they're kits. They were displayed with other kit promotional material, like the Solo Falcon in the background of the shot below. Normally, the figuart stuff is a separate section.
