I joined here just a few years too late to get in on any of the Salzo SS X-Wings. Would love a V4 or V5...

I’m on the other side. Just let a V3 go. Held onto it for several years and decided the 1/48 scale ones are e good enough and big enough for me. This is also why I let my Red Jammer go a few years ago—when I could get a couple of really nice 48th Y-Wings. That was all I really needed. Maybe I’m an imposter here because I only bought the studio scale stuff because I couldn’t get other acceptable stuff that was bigger than 72nd scale. But when I did, I let the studio scale stuff go. But it was still hard.

OK, that reminds me...
No commercial kits but the Salzo 1/2 studio scale Galactica.

Now I just have to convince my wife that I NEED this!Found one here:
Maquette à monter Fusil Gun PYRO Moorish Rifle North African G193-500 1/1 | eBay
Maquette de la fin des années 60, très difficile à dénicher.www.ebay.com
Moebius Interstellar Ranger
I have seen paper models of it offered online; I just might try doing one using the templates in plastic just to see if it can be done.
UPDATE: found one on Scribd (sign up for a free account and upload a document to get the download free): Interstellar Ranger | PDF

Not exactly a kit but a screen used prop...
Princess Vespa's blaster from Spaceballs showed up on eBay. It was expensive and it would have just about broke me to get, but it was just within reach.
The auction was pulled. Apparently, it was the functional hero version and not a hero stunt. Which btw turns out to have been an actual working Calico. Oops.

Why did it get pulled ?

I'm just speculating here, but it is my guess that it got pulled because it was the working hero and not the non firing version.
If it was the version I suspect now, it was a working firearm, which never should have been on eBay in the first place. If they didn't pull such an item, the recipient as well as eBay might have a lot of questions to answer about weapon sales.
I should have taken a picture of the auction, but I dropped the ball.

You should have . If it’s flagged for being a firearm or a replica without the plug the listing is gone . How much was it ?
Not only transfer through a non licensed process but I think that was the same time frame that Calico was hit by being added to the assault weapons ban list. Which makes me really curious how that works out for props made from items on that list???

PL 1/350 Refit. I chickened out on it when I realized A. I would have to make the lighting from scratch, and B. doing the Aztek panels made me literally ill at the thought of it. I shoved the kit into a closet, then when doing spring cleaning a couple years before moving out of that apartment I pitched it. Never even glued two pieces together.
Though to be fair, as much as I still wanna get another and build it the azteks still make me ill, even knowing there are mask sets now.

It's always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Btw, I wouldn't mind finding a clean casting/kit of either the m100 or the multi barrel version of the Calico as seen in another film.
I may have to print one.

If that is one of your biggest regrets in life, you must be living the Life of Riley.My 501st ANH Stormtrooper Armor. An FX Kit that I customised and built into a killer rig, then trooped in it at Supernova's Australia Wide and tons of charity work.
I lost interest in the 501st and sold it for $2.5k....Wish I still had it....
One of life's BIG regrets......

The Moebius models TOS Galactica. Built this kit when it first came out, then gave it to a coworker thinking I would snag one later. Turns out the prices have skyrocketed way beyond what I’m willing to pay
Maybe they will reissue them again.

The 1/350 is a little scarce right now, but they're going to repop it sometime this year with new box art. There are Aztec decals sets for it. Not as nice as doing the full Monty paint job, but I've seen excellent builds that use them. Also there are some nice lighting kits out there. There's still soldering involved, but at least you don't have to source everything and figure out control electronics. I'm in the middle of a build right now with a full custom lighting rig, aftermarket parts, and the full paint job. It's a daunting build, but I'm taking my time.PL 1/350 Refit.
