Shopping Advice! 1/2256 models for Republic Star Destroyer Hangar

[ChancellorsHand]

Hey everyone! Need advice on where to buy starfighters and gunships to put into my republic star destroyer's hangar that are to scale. I know there might be some on shapeways but their search engine and filters could use a little tune up and they often return me with a hodgepodge of unrelated items. Looking for Arc 170s, V-wings, and republic gunships on the 1/2256 scale. Thanks! Send links!

Thank you! This was very helpful. Definitely asking if they're going to restock anything. I added the gunships to my shopping cart, curious how the troop carriers look next to the venator? Also you did a great job on painting that Radiant model!

Have you looked at other peoples models first? That would be a good way to plan the layout of your hangar and then build it.

I contacted them on facebook, but its not been easy getting a conversation going. They don't have any of the things in stock atm. And I really would a cruiser and some LAAT's aswell for my venator project that is starting soon.

EDIT: i see the stock has changed to low now, maybe my fb messages did came trough. Just don't know if they ship to Belgium.

I don't have the Venator assembled or painted, same with Troop carriers, but I'll pull the stuff out and try to get some snapshots

and thanks!

They are probably one of the most reliable and quickest online retailers I have ever bought from. I'm not sure however how much OneZero monitors the Facebook page, he is usually pretty quick to respond to forum posts in the StarshipModeler section of the forums

as far as shipping international...according to the FAQ, yes he will ship to Belgium

Starship Modeler Store: Starship Modeler Order, Payment & Shipping Methods & Policies

Starship Modeler's order, payment, and shipping methods and policies, and dispute resolution options.

starshipmodeler.biz

International orders under 4 pounds and 36” L + W + H will be shipped via USPS First Class International Mail. There is no real-time tracking with this option; USPS will only update its status up to the point it leaves the USA. However, your package is assigned a customs number which may be used to find the package when it enters your country's postal/package system. Over 4 pounds, over 36” girth, and high-value orders will be shipped via USPS Priority International Mail, which does include tracking. As with domestic orders, you may choose to upgrade to EMS, or use a different carrier. The same qualifiers regarding accounts apply.

Good Idea! I've looked at a few but they didn't list their sources or responded to messages but I'll scour more posts!

Thank you for the review on them! They seem affordable. I really only need about 6 gunships anyways. Would be hella cool if I could get some AT-TEs too, I know their store has the SPHA-Ts to scale
