The Chief Smeg Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Just delivered - really need to get building again 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Smeg Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Another from the same order has arrived but this one from a different vendor also different here is the model has been stripped from the sprues and assembled, the original owner also did a little questionable dry brushing. I’ll be stripping this one back down to component parts, cleaning and painting. Just got a sand trooper to come now and I have all the ones I’m wanting (for now in all likelihood). I just need to retire so that I can actually spend time building anything😁 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed! It’s been a while since I watched it but I always wanted an accurate 1/72 kit of the iconic ships and this is another I can finally scratch off the list. All I need now is for Round 2 to (hopefully) release a 1/72 version of the Cargo Eagle and then my set is complete. Especially since I also have the 1/1 scale Comlock and Stun Gun… pew… pew…! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Got this on order from the USA since every UK retailer is saying Mid-Feb before its available. Will be interesting to compare it to the 22" kit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for comparison with the 22” kit I’m guessing this will be… smaller…? 😜 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Smeg Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 One of these is definitely going on my wish list. Had a die cast one as a kid that I loved to bits and took a serious hammering, my mate had one that winched down containers using a magnetic grapple - man I was jealous! hopefully you will have a build thread that I can follow!

Build threads are a jinx for me. Whenever I start one up the kit barely progresses never mind gets completed. So I keep what little building I do under the radar until it’s almost done then I’ll Jack-in-a-box with photos and then a ‘ready for inspection’. The above is a rare purchase for me having shed most of my stash over the last year. I’m very slowly and stealthily working through my shelf of doom. As for the Eagle, I also remember the die cast toys with fondness. Made by Dinky, I had a few. I eventually managed to get hold of the winch version just so I could swap in the passenger pod since it was the only version to be painted white, all the others were a psychedelic metallic green or blue. I also had a few of the Airfix Eagles (still have one unmade). Most of which went on to suffer an ‘Alan Carter landing’. I was delighted when Round 2 launched their 1/72 series which are beautifully accurate. I really hope they’ll ‘Round off’ the fleet with the Cargo Eagle. Might even inspire me enough to build my launch pad kit 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Smeg Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Well, this little fella turned up today but having read the previous posts, I’m VERY tempted to look for a 1/72 Eagle now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) Mine arrived on Tuesday and yesterday I finished the Joe 90 car... hmmmm I wonder what to build next... 14 hours ago, Nocoolname said: It’s probably forlorn but I hope they release a turned metal engine and booster set for this 🙄 I'm sure Mike Reader will produce a set, but you are then looking at at least the cost of the kit again and probably more.

Mike Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Thanks to @shortCummins, I'm even more broke than usual : My son loves the AT-RT for some reason, and he's re-watching the Clone Wars at the moment. I think they're silly-looking when they walk, and you'd probably get quite sick riding on one 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reelyator Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) 2 New goodies arrived yesterday, coming from Asia. Both from the good old times of Stop-Motion Animation. First is the CAIN Model Kit from Robocop 2 (1990). Manufacturer: GoodSmile Company. No Scale information on the box but the finished Figure should be around 22 cm high. Comes with a lot of sprues, cables, decals and some special parts (pre-assembled joints), molded in dark gray PS. The second one is another Vinyl Kit from the Ray Harryhausen Line from chinese manufacturer Star Ace Toys. From the movie Clash of the Titans (1981). No scale information here as well. The final figue will be around 32 cm high and 54 cm long. Box full of green Vinyl Pieces (greetings from Kermit) and a few parts made from resin. Not the cheapest Kit on this planet, anybody interested in this should hurry up because this is a limited edition of 400 pieces, status today: Still available directly from the manufacturer.

Pilgrim_UK Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Cain kit looks good. Would love to know if you get the monitor attachment for the face with the decals of the face? Do you also get a little canister of Nuke🤣. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know it was from an anime series when I ordered it. My son has a dragon model from a different company. It's more the traditional Chinese dragon in looks so I thought this would be a nice compliment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
