Pilgrim_UK started following Star Wars new model kits from Bandai, Are Hong Kong Models kits over-priced?, 1/350 scale TIE Fighters? and and 4 others

It's a personal thing and how much you want to pay for a kit. I know plenty of folks who dropped 250+ on the Finemolds Falcon and then 100+ on the Tamiya Spitfire when they came out. That's not adding in all the extra's they probably bought for those kits. As other have mentioned their must be a market for it. Just like you have a market for footballers and supercars. I just admire those things and move onto something I am capable of buying. Questioning the price of something can sound like a whinge ( No offence Sprue). Which I am no stranger too.

At that kind of scale it would be easier building them from plasticard. Even the F-toys ones are 1/144. If you can get hold of the 1/350 falcon you would see how tiny they would be.

Wow very impressive you win the lottery then. Just for folks who don't realise how big this bad boy is. -
What miniatures did you purchase lately?

@rockpopandchips That's a great little mini from Raining frogs garage. Supposedly of the Simon Bisley artwork. The first edition came with an axe and no cape. -

Really like the dents and nicks on that paint job. Impressive work. -

That Corel corvette looks effing sweet. -
The Expanse Remember the Cant!
Pilgrim_UK replied to Mike's topic in Work In Progress - SF & RealSpace
It is one of the best space operas in a long while. Thomas jane was the best film Punisher in my book. ( the Tv series is great as well) I noticed another company who is selling 3d printed spaceships and one of them was the last star fighter. ( just noticed this company does them as well. Other company was cheaper though) £55 for the 300mm Roc very tempting -

Impressive. Is this the future of Modelling build your own. -
Bandai 1/48 snowspeeder
Pilgrim_UK replied to srogue's topic in Ready for Inspection - SF & RealSpace
Excellent build. Lovely touch of weathering. -
Weyrs is halfway through. It was one of those Dragon series that wasn't too cheesy with the dragons. Then again I am looking through rose tinted specs. It was a few years ago.

Cheers for that bud, yeah way too small. Shame as I quite like the casual style of it. -
GreenStrawberry Apparat Male Soldier (Sci-Fi Figure) 1:20
Pilgrim_UK replied to Mike's topic in Sci-fi & Real Space Reviews
Has a formal dress look about him even diplomatic. It would really add something if it had a ceremonial shield and Sword/Lance. Give it a regal flare to a futuristic empire. -
Revell Star Wars Solo – Imperial Patrol Speeder
Pilgrim_UK replied to Mike's topic in Sci-fi & Real Space Reviews
The amount of detail on those is pretty damn good even though it's a terrible vehicle design. -

@rockpopandchips Is that really 1/24. Just wondering If I could get away with it at 1/20 as most of my Votoms are 1/20. (The rest are 1/35)
