It's well worth it Richard, what I like about it is, you can roughly position the paste with a scalpel blade,....push it into the crack or seam that you are going to fill,.....then wipe away with a baby wipe or a wet paintbrush etc,....think of it as if you were using tooth paste or wet plaster of Paris as a water removable filler,....& it has no fumes etc

Awesome, ordered a tube. I've been on a mission to find better filler for my SW/airplane projects, and these are exactly the characteristics I'm looking for.
Bluefin just announced a Bandai 0-0-0 (Triple-Zero) kit for Celebration! For those not familiar, Triple-Zero is from the Marvel Star Wars / Doctor Aphra comics. Can't find any other news on it yet but hopefully it will be on their website too as with past exclusives.

I wonder if there are some differences between C3P0 kit and this one?
Ever since I read the the first Aphra comics, I knew I need to build this robot (together with BT-1). Looking at the comics, I could not find any differences between C3P0 and Triple Zero. So obviously, repainting C3P0 with black color is the easiest and more economic way as I won't be able to be at celebration day and the prices for these limited kits are way too high on ebay.

Part 2 of Bandai's blog entry on the Star Destroyer, showing the insane level of recreation of the original:

To me this just shows the kit needs to be bigger to really show off their work.

The special edition B-Wing was originally only a SDCC release but is still available though distributors- perhaps 0-0-0 will be the same?
Love the black chrome look-
Maybe someday. Buy early, buy often!

ABSOLUTELY! Attempting to approximate that level of detail on the Zvezda by hand-carving thousands of these greeblies - I can concur with that statement. The attention to detail IS astounding. This section below is literally between the 4 hyperdrive engines and you would not even know this detail was there unless you had the high-resolution ILM 89-footer photos. The space in that area between each engine on the Zvezda is an 1/8" where this detail is located. It has to be a 1/16" of an inch at 5000 scale and yet the detail is there!
Must have!

Side thought-
I wonder how many filming miniatures used that little LEM for details- it is on the corridor sections of the Space 1999 Eagle as well.
