Bandai release schedule

I couldn't get my hand in there for scale next it it because it was behind glass, but it's about a foot long.

Big enough for me; the question of "why can't X be bigger" is always countered by "where the HELL am I gonna put this"

 

[Richard Baker]

There's no bridge front shown in the pics, so no reason to assume it isn't also clear.

But why make the other piece, the top of the bridge, clear at all?

Easy parts layout? I dunno. These aren't even the final parts.

As for holes for the windows I'd prefer to not have them. The wedge shaped structures along the outer edge of the hull have two rows of windows on the studio model, very hard to drill out for fiber. I'd prefer an all clear kit with no window holes. Just light the whole interior, light block the exterior, and use the tiniest drill bit you can find to etch through the paint.

Also why is the ceiling of the hangar is clear. I understand if the sides are clear since that’s where the light are.

It looks like the entire hangar is molded in one single piece.

THAT is where I certainly find myself these days - which is why I took a pass on the Bandai PG Falcon. I gots nowheres to put and display it.

Someone had mentioned it's close in length to the old AMT/MCT/ERTL kit.

 

[Timmythekid]

Is that a gap between the conning tower base and the main hull?

TazMan2000

I think it's actually supposed to be there, no?

 

[Timmythekid]

The HELL is with those three depressions on the ventral hull???? Please, please Bandai tell me you haven't done that to fit a stand or something stupid to that gorgeous kit.

Doesn't look like it from the 3D printed production proof.

Looks like parts go there from this photo of the ventral hull from the prototype:

That's even bigger than on the Revell SD. I had to panel over mine.

It's a 3D printed prototype. The gaps at the conning tower base won't be there I guarantee you.

The stand is a cradle ala the PG Falcon.

I'm sure they won't be, but that large gap shouldn't be on the prototype and especially not for public display.

So how long is a 1/5000 model of a ISD ?

Edit : ISD = 1600m long / 5000 = 32cm long give or take.

Pretty sure it's been confirmed at 13", so, yeah right around 32cm in real measurements.

 

[Gans]

Not 1/144 or 1/72 or 28MM

Finally a big Warhammer model (if it IS a model) that doesn't cost half my internal organs.

It suggests there's a paint set in the banner behind it... If they made one of these and you didn't paint it yourself, that would be a bit of a missed opportunity. So at the very least, I'd expect this to come apart to paint.

I just wonder what non metallic metal would look like at that scale!

 

[Inquisitor Peregrinus]

Gans, that makes me so happy. I'd have to dig it up, but I was stumping for something like this back in the mid-'90s... UseNet, maybe? It's been a while. I suggested an internal armature the pieces snapped to, so it was posable, rubber gaskets for the joints between the armor pieces, transparent pieces for the gemstones and helmet lenses and target scopes... Maybe even, after a basic Marine was done, variant pieces for Chapter-specific shoulders or chest plastrons or helmets or accessories...
