I got mine for $319 from Amazon with free shipping. The boss collected it from his girlfriends place in Oregon and bought it back to New Zealand in his luggage for me. All up $440 NZD which I think is a real bargain! No shipping and no tax! Win!
I’ve drooled all over the box and kit. Now to finish my house renovation so I can actually build the damn thing!

Welcome Christoph! Converting the Fine Molds into a 5-footer is a big challenge -- I know, I tried it. How far along are you?
Since the lower forward half of the hull is just one piece, I'm kinda surprised that someone hasn't already given us a 3D printed option for an ESB configuration...
Unless it's out there, and I haven't been able to find it...
Made some progress on the upper hull. Still needs tweaking, but overall happy. It's important to stop periodically to look at the model under a variety of lighting. More than once I finished a section only to look at the model under normal room lighting to find certain streaks or shading were way too dark and had to be misted back.

Moving on to the front starboard quadrant and cockpit tube...
stunning work, just stunning!! I thought I had done a bang up on my last MPC, following studio model pics...but this leaves me in the dust! :thumbsup
are you masking those all in?? paint?? they’re not decals... what are you doing for these?? i’ve done a few of them with a permanent ink pen.

I emailed Tony about that actually, he's working on it. I had some of his MPC gear boxes, the nicer ones, and I laid them out on the PG hull, they're almost perfect for it. So I'm pretty sure he's tweeking those a little for the PG. When I hear something from him I'll post it.
I'm 100% interested.
I'm going to buy another PG kit this weekend.
Since my fist one is an "in flight" display, I should be able to use the extra gear for an ESB version.
Keep us posted!
Yup. Masking.
amazing. is there a map for placement, or is it all about the reference pics??
