Finished Studio Scale Raptor

[Tony]

That model is absolutely gorgeous. This kit NEEDS to be lit, especially if you are displaying it landed with an open hatch.
Anyone making lighting kits for this one yet?

 

[Jestefarean]

One more pic I had to share.

inbound for landing...hope that gymbal holds.

 

[Walter]

That is beautiful.

This buildup was documented and was featured in SciFi and Fantasy Modeler magazing. Its a very nice article, and I recommend the magazine. (I don't get anything from this so please don't think I'm selling..just saying)

For those asking for a kit, its not currently for sale, but I'm working on ways to make it available again. Ill be in touch.

Glad you all like it...personally, I love it!

I only see the 1/48 listed.

I think that display rocks, great detail, and a nice touch with the lit monitors :thumbsup

 

[TridCloudwalker]

Just curious, but did your buildup include the neon license plate frame on the back wall?

 

[moffeaton]

The Dodge Neon? I don't know what you mean, but I'm curious!

 

[Talisen]

Not the Dodge neon you fool!!!

That neon light for car license plates that hangs on the back wall of the raptor.

I'm shipping 1-2 kits per day every work day, yours should go out early next week, and most kits up until now should be shipped out within 2 weeks if not sooner. My grandfather passed away this morning so i will likely not get any kits out on Friday but the rest is running smooth.
thanks
