I received the new larger scale Atreides Ornithopter the other day. .....Looks very nice inside the box. The wings are geared in pairs so that they can move in unison. 

Now i am getting jealous;-)

 

May i ask for your opinion about the cockpit? Some reviews seem to inicate some room for improvement with the figures, the windows and the gear inside the cockpit. If this is the case then i would hope some of the aftermarkes specialists (Paragrafix, Green Strawberry etc.) jump on it.

The figures and cockpit seem to be fairly decent. The figures all look different from one another.

Likewise, the cockpit details are good for 1/72 in my opinion. 

 

Cockpit floor:

Console.

Hope that helps. 

 

I'm sure there will be some AM sets coming out for the kit and of course 3D printed stuff will probably make it stand out even more.

A bit odd I know but for all the kit bashing scratch building folks, I picked these up from B&M today. No idea what I will use them for but they looked to good to leave on the shelf....😀

Just got my Aztec Decals for Enterprise and Reliant from the Wrath of Khan

I got these from the US from the CultTVMan shop and it took 12 days to get here, which from what I've gathered is a good delivery time from the US.

A Star Wars arrival today

 

p?i=0e840cd4df9b0b9107b9368043927a0b

 

I think that the box is about 1/3 bigger than it should be for the parts that make up the kit

 

p?i=7a8052581bda1c720521ca32d2c8adc6

 

Still should be a fun build.

 

It is amusing that the name of the ship isn't used anywhere, it's like they don't want to have Slave 1 anywhere.

That's a good point. I have an unbuilt AMT one from 1995 with it on the box. Times have changed. eh?

I wonder when they decided to leave the name of the ship off the box and not refer to it in any way.

I need to dig out my slave kit and get the model no so at least you would know the lower end of the change to being politically correct (or woke as I think the new term is). There are pros and cons to any change like this, so let’s try and not let this descend into anything other than the original topic

I have this one too. I've wired it up for lighting and I'm ready to put it all together, except, I've lost the panel with the Impulse engine. GRRRRRRR!!!!
