Had chance to have a quick look through and the casting is very nice, only a few small holes to fill. Edit: Just for interest I posted these pictures from my 'standard' Photobucket account!! Very strange. Oh this is good - do they do all three? Cracking movie - one of Bruce Dern's best.

Madmonk Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 If you want a cheaper option search Silent Running paper models!! 😜😜😜 http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/sf-papercraft/sf/Silent.html 1

The Chief Smeg Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Well, I've now completed my garage makeover and actually have room to build and paint things. I've still slowly been adding to the stash so I now have waiting in the wings: Bandai AT-AT Bandai AT-ST Bandai Speeder bike Bandai Tie Advanced Bandai C3PO Bandai First Order Stormtrooper Revell Star Destroyer Revell Snow speeder x 2 (joint build with my son) Revell Jedi Star Fighter - Obi-Wan Revell Jedi Star Fighter - Anakin Bandai AT-ST & Snowspeeder 1:144 Revell Colonial Viper MkII Dragon Iron Man MkVII As well as BB8 & R2, Stormtrooper and Gonk & Mouse droids to actually finish properly. 1

Mike Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 My Bandai Star Wars stash dwarfs yours, I'm afraid My main problem is my build rate, which is almost exactly zero at the moomin. 1

I do have plans to expand the stash but I seem to have spent most of my money on racking and floor tiles. Mainly what I would like to add is all of the little Bandai 1:144 kits, a pair of clone troopers and all of the tie fighter variants and rebel ships. Oh yes and lighting kits for the Iron Man and Viper along with a photo etch kit for the Viper. My current build rate is also zero and I really do keep meaning to begin building the star Destroyer - I bought the Revell kits to practice spraying and weathering techniques so it would be nice to actually do some of that.

Will Vale Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Mistakes were made. Big ones. As I said in the photo caption, whatever happened to "Discreet brown paper wrapping, for the Gentleman Connoisseur", eh? No mistaking this on the doorstep... Will 5 1
Gimme Shelter Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 go on then - open the box for us and lets see .... 1
rockpopandchips Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Whats in the box Will? Just had a set of these arrive today, picked up on ebay for a reasonable price at last. They are much better looking in the plastic and good size to. 1
Will Vale Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 Those Zaku look pretty good, could be the bases of an interesting diorama? On 13/07/2017 at 4:59 AM, rockpopandchips said: Whats in the box Will? It's this thing: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10410186 I'm such a fool, but it's a MASSIVE ROBOT DINOSAUR. The cannons are over a foot long... Still a fool. Will 3

Will Very nice, looks like a remake of Zoidzilla, I still have my small collection of 80`s Zoids up in the loft and have a Zoidzilla.

I think it is a remake (as a plastic kit) - Gojira begat Godzilla who begat Zoidzilla in the West, whereas Gojira begat Gojuras in the East. The first Gojulas release Kotobukiya did was even in the blue and grey of the '80s Zoids I don't have any of my originals left, nor the re-releases I picked up later, which is stupid really. My daughter has a couple I found on eBay - Academy bought the moulds and sold them in Korea for several years after Tomy stopped. Would love to get the crocodile again, that had a great walk Will 1
Thud4444 Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 WTF? You actually brought one of those Will? Your a mad man. I know the show was insanely stupid, but I liked! 1
Despy Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Eventhough I have zero knowledge about Gundam, after building many nice Star Wars model kits from Bandai, I ordered that one which arrived on Friday: 2
FG2Si Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 These arrived late last week: I picked this up from the LHS today while getting the car serviced: Carl 1
Gimme Shelter Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 well my postman just delivered me a Revell snap fix star destroyer to join my armada of other destroyers - my 1977 Kenner and my Disney Store ISD now have a baby brother - every office needs a touch of Star wars on the desktop
Deadman Disciple Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 I finally got my hands on the Bandai AT-AT. But i went Batman mad again last week & snipped me up 2 old Revell kits at £15 each:- Batman Forever Batmobile Batman Forever Batboat Both from the same uk seller, box was slightly dented as they were old, but tge sprues are still bagged up & sealed. I could have gotten a complete set with a Batwing from USA, but i think ebay are charging customs on USA auctions as they wanted £20 upfront. So it would have cost me £70, instead of £50, shame really. Still on the lookout for a Batwing, but not at £45 on ebay ATM.
Kallisti Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Went to the local ParcelFarce depot yesterday since they failed to deliver the package on Monday as requested to collect this beauty... Its very similar to the other Eagle kit but has the cargo winch and nuclear waste cannisters ...and this will be the base for when I start building it as a diorama... 5
