    Mine was on my door step when I got home. WOW is this BIG!! Had no idea how large the model was. If I ever get this thing finished it will be an awesome display piece, Very cool. Must have misplaced the instruction manual though
    Is this the resin kit or vac pulls you have?

    I just grabbed a bunch of donor kits off of ebay to compliment the ones I already have, and I placed my initial Plastuct order.

    I also shot through Ralphee and Guys thread again. I'm getting pretty excited here!

    Its the Mars Probe Guy, I thought about getting the resin kit but decided on the more accurate vac pulls.

    Oh - do we want to keep this to the scratch ones only, or resin kit builders too?

    No drama with the post, was only a figure of speech. My girlfriend signed for it and it came well packed and un damaged

    Oooooh scratch only if you don't mind? I't'd be good to keep this as a hows and who's for the vac PD. The cleaner it is re posts the easier for those building it to scroll through.

    Maybe use an instructions thread for Dave's kit builds as there will be a ton of those compared to this one.

    Not sure if there is an abundance of pictures of the probe droid but Rymo has taken a picture of one (i don’t know if its screen used etc) from a star wars exhibit. He has mensioned he might be going back to take more picks of other stuff so if needed he might take some more of the probe if asked and it’s in his thread here.

    Here is the pic.

    I was working this up - imagine the black is lasercut black acrylic, the white lettering is frosted/etched into the surface, and then below that, a custom plaque with the builder's name on it, in a different color of acrylic (maybe brushed aluminum-ish?)

    Im not sure my intensions for this thread have been taken the right way. With it being a Scratch only, isn't a look down at resin builds at all far from it.

    Just looking for info in the thread that me and Lee did is hard as its so long and in depth, if we have too many builds in one thread it will loose its purpose and become too diluted in the help to posts ratio.

    I've just ordered another GK resin kit and am looking for another so its not distain in any way, just sensible.

    Sweet will wait for the photo. Have a question Mars regarding the top and bottom domes, Is there any need to trim the bases of the domes or are they around the correct height to just epoxy the rings to as is?
