Damn! thats pretty big there robert!

You telling us there is a lasercut "starter kit" in the works?!

I've been stocking up on donor kits... this would save me SO MUCH TIME.

Please tell me it's accurate, too, heh.

Pinch me, I must be dreaming!!

[MooCriket]

Awesome, you just need some studio scale Jawas and droids and you'll be good to go:cool
Utini!:thumbsup

 

[ralphee]

Pencil me in if it's a laser cut/scribed hull run.

 

[propologist]

wow..and finish to what every degree you want too...wow

 

[mbmcfarland]

Looks great so far! I'll be watching your progress with great interest. If I could get a studio scale hull I'd go for that instead of building the smaller RC kit.

Hey - aren't you in the wrong Galaxy? :wacko

Shouldn't you be over at Space 1999 working on Eagle stuff?
:love


Looks like a great build this will be.

 

[Ogait-Nas]

It's looking good so far

Thanks Guys,

Yes, we've burned a set of paper parts and sent them to John, the local expert. He will be correcting everything. Once we get that back, we'll make corrections and start burning some kits

The price has been lowered to $850 to get more buyers. This is limited to 25 units. I hope to start shipping out by the end of next month.

I've also taken a few photos of the 1/48th scale version:

Also, one thing about recasting. I'm sure most of you already know this, but I'd like to write it to be clear. Even though this is laser cut and not cast, it is still considered recasting if this item is molded without permission.

Thank you

 

[REL]

That's indescribably beautiful.

 

[moffeaton]

I'm still in for two as soon as you accept orders - full monty with cast parts - the works!!

YOU ARE A STUDIO SCALE HEROOOOoooooo!

I was hoping somebody was going to do this. That's looking superb! The time saved from scribing and aligning scratched pieces alone would appear to be worth the $$, IMHO. And, of course, they'll be a lot straighter than my shaky hand... wow. :thumbsup

 

[jawsmodels]

I definately want on that list for the SS version with the works. :cool

 

[Nwerke]

Wait, this the starter kit only at $850 for the tread sides and hull panels, with panel detail - do I have that right? Or IS there a 'with the works' version too?

 

[RickDTM]

What NWerke said. Is it eight-fiddy for the whole enchilada, or is there something more?

 

[moffeaton]

That's just for the starter kit, I believe. I think the greeblie castings are a separate deal...

 

[vaderdarth]

If detail parts will follow I'd be in for one. Otherwise I'd have to pass.

 

[swfan]

Ditto!
