COOL!!! Now i can start work on my. Thanks for posting it.
The instructions are a nice sexy read! Well done!
so where can i get one of these?
Me too... My Kit arrived a couple of days ago. I waited to post since i was unsure about the delivery of this kit until the backlog was cleared...
I gotta say its beautiful... well packed and not a bubble to be found... I've gotten a lot of awesome kits over the years... this one just feel special - its probably as close as we're likely to get to being at ILM in 1976 when they were building the rest of the y's for filming. tons of little parts to go onto a well cast base. I can see them doing it almost exactly like this after they built the first master. AWESOME
do be careful unpacking though... a couple of those pieces of newspaper had items inside
it'd be easy to accidentally toss them in the zeal to get at the resin you can see
the only donwside is I'm traveling for work in the DC area... and can't get to really get into the kit until probably christmas week... if I'm lucky

Glad it got there in good condition...and good point about the newspaper with some of the parts.....and i can take the opportunity to mention that i use the paper for some parts because i found over the years that wrapping certain parts in paper works better than bubble wrap, it has a little more "give" than bubble wrap for some parts, avoiding crushing......plus it is a type of recycling.....right?

Will do Steve i hope to start on my real soon.
unfortunately I'm traveling on business for at least the next two weeks... I can't even think of starting it until then. Plus I need to pick up all the mounting gear since I'm pretty sure I want to mount it from the engines... I can rig it up no doubt but I do need to get supplies and think about it for a few seconds... altough the side mounts that Jason shows in the instructions are pretty good I have to say.
