Hello all
Was at the Munich show yesterday...and of course saw the "holy grail" there as well! What first struck me was the sharpness of the surface details, of course created by using seperate parts rather then a one piece mold as most models have it..even Bandai. Lighting in the room was crap...very dark but then of course needed like that to protect the artefects. I did spot some recent damage to the small Falcon...the left side Sherman wheel on the engine deck is gone leaving a blank spot now. Also the plating around the engine seems to start lifting off a bit. Glue marks around the top gun mount were also visible, not sure if they are recent or from way back when? All in all the show was good even though I think they should now overhaul the concept to integrate the TFA characters into the game part. In Munich they have only three TFA exibits, a FO storm trooper, BB8 and a rebel flight helmet. My personal highlights were...the Falcon of course and then Slave1 which looked magnificent!
cheers

PS: Yes I spotted the pin up but it's very hard to see with the naked eye...;-)
