Gather round boys.

It's been a good day for you, I see...

That's a beautiful thing... good luck on the assembly...

[phase pistol]

Thanks.

About the only thing I can guarantee is that somebody else will have theirs built before I do. :$

Are you not blind? Did you not notice the subtle yet enlightening message spelled out on your kitchen table....


[attachmentid=5602]

Between good and bad lies the path to enlightenment.

 

[Bryancd]

Goog God, you're addicted to Orange Juice, too....

 

[phase pistol]

I thought the secret message was "between cigarettes and orange juice lie car keys".

I am slightly confused... are there or are there not figures included... and if there are... can you post pics?.?.

Plus... any shots of the cockpit detail?.

thanks,
-r.

Wynnstudio and I got ours too. The figures are included. No Lando though - where's the love?

I see a need for two aftermarket products already - photoetched brass vents for the upper engine deck and clear resin parts to swap out the inner engine details so that it can be lit.

I dig it.

hey guys, how much was shipping to the states?

i wanna get one of these but i'll get nailed on import duty into the u.k.

cheers

[moffeaton]

Shipping was $75.

Here's pics. I didn't take pics of everything - and there are more figs too...

I like how things are framed by other details - the "escape pods" have sleeves:

The top and bottom gunner stations are nicely framed too:

Nice depth to parts:

The screws are included - youscrew teh hull together - nice touch.

Crips details of the inner wells:

I bumped the contrast here so you can see the cockpit decals:

Stormie has the smaller publicity photo "short range" blaster:

Han has the ANH blaster:

Hoth Leia and Ben:

Chewie and Threepio:

ANH Leia:

I'll replace the piping with solder wire:

Porsche.

Even teh small radar dish has a good level of detail - maybe some one will make a photoetched brass replacement.

These are the parts that need to be replaced with clear resin:

And here's just one of the many bags you get - woof:

Whee.

they look like they could be "recast" in clear quite easily. (are they the engine parts?)

75 bucks on shipping seems a little pricey was it ems?
