Yes, many nice chunks o' resin here! Updated 1st post with the 3-part preliminary construction guide, Outer Shell, Pod Bay and Flight Deck respectively. Enjoy!

It was July/August, 2007 when Scott announced a limited run of 15 of these kits, the COmmand Module off his 11ft XD-1 Discovery from 2001: A Space Odyssey. The Captain immediately got closer to 30 orders, mine amongst them. With expected delivery the following month, there was great...

Cool. Nice to see another version of the character. This looks much better than the MPC I just built.

These three models serve as testbeds for upcoming jupiter2 work. Most of Vader was done in December. He sat until this recent session with alclad paints and was finished off. The minor metal on his body wasn't enough practice for the J2, so I broke out both of my 3-PO's as well. One was...

With the smooth 1/650 1701 on the market, what good is the old gridded saucer? Clockwise starting with the aluminums, then the 'precious metals', the burnts and exhausts, concluding with the two steels, magnesium and chrome going on midnight. The two Lexan metals are not represented as I...

Thanks, guys! Hope you get what you want. Some of the bidding has become intensive. Arrived yesterday, Round 2 dropped another load of models on me. I've just added them to the auction with 1 day to go! AMT Top Gun F-14A Tomcat 1/72 1925 Model T Fruit Wagon 1/25 1997 Ford Mustang, 50Years...

Hey folks, up for grabs starting at $5 or $10 each are the following kits and such from me, Round 2 and Scale Model Addict Magazine! The 6th or 7th pseudo-annual ebay charity auction; Mar2014 Sci-fi: AMT Death Star, 1/420 Defiant, 1/1000 Romulan D-7, 1/2500 Romulan Warbird, The...

That could be a perfect compromise size! 6ft is clearly too humongous for anything else than a basement to display it in. The Monogram and Moebius are just too small. While a 3ft'r can be tucked into a nice, low-ceiling'ed display case in almost any room. The cost must be a buck at least...

Cheers, Scott. I sell almost everything LED, except fiber optics. I cannot recommend enough www.thefiberopticstore.com. Paul is the owner and a great guy to deal with. The one time I tried fishing line, the light transmission was negligible. It glowed dimly as far as the light's natural...
