Wow that Klingon cruiser looks amazing.. have always fancied getting one of the Polar Lights kits but have never got round to it.

And those hlj robots are lovely..

Unfortunately, after looking at this picture of that Death Star model in hand (intended as a scale shot, I'm sure), all I can see now is a Death Star painted like a Pokeball.

Which is awesome enough that I had in on a T-shirt.

The Runabout is out, ~$35.

This site is a bit costy on shiping so you might want to shop around.

Great to see that back in production!

Revell EU is going to sell Bandai Star Wars kits soon at reasonable prices: https://www.revell.de/en/products/star-wars/star-wars-bandai/

Especially the AT-ST and Speeder may see good use in conversions with their 1:48 scale.

More trek is coming.

Always loved the Ent-D, I'll need to see if it's sold at a decent price over here.

Not quite an SF kit but



Hobbyboss HBB85516 1:35 Soviet MBV-2 (Late KT-28 Gun)

looks like it would work either as a 40K train or if you left off the buffers (and maybe the wheels although they aren't really visible) etc it could do as a snazzy anitigrav primeris gun tank equivelent

Or mount upside down on a 2Liter bottle for a snazzy steampunk zeppelin gondola.

What a brilliant suggestion!
I would never have thought of that

1/45 Mospeada Sentinel/Robotech Alpha Jet

I'll be in my bunk.

Does it transform though?

Can't tell from the link. It's just a large number of photos of the same display. I'd think that if it could, they'd have one of the other modes on display. On the other hand, the box art highlights both the humanoid mode and the fighter mode. So maybe it can?

At the very least, I noticed that there's some articulation of the fingers. So if they put that much effort into it, it would seem likely that it could transform. Again, though, I can't say.

I have one of the old 20+ years, alpha fighters that does, so I was wondering.

More than likely it will transform. It looks like it has hinges on its kneepads. This thing is going to be expensive, so I expect that for the price, it will transform.

So uh yeah, I'm going to need about 20 of these.



Gargant bases?

Is that the mechacolle Stardestroyer? Is the Executor what's new?

Exactly, a 4"~5" Super Star Destroyer for $13. The site says 4" but it looks and inch or more longer than the SD, so I think 5" (BFG battleship size) is about right.

https://www.culttvmanshop.com/Super-Star-Destroyer-11000000-from-Bandai--PREORDER-RESERVATION-_p_4759.html

I preordered form them before so it's a safe site, but of course Bandai stuff will be everywhere eventually.

Spotted this Gundam on Amazon, if you're looking for an alternate dreadnought that still looks like it belongs in 40k.

I'm a fan ... and also tinkering with AdMech stuff, so maybe that's where my 'limited to 20 per person' of these end up

That's from the newest Zoids line-- my son is a fan. Be aware that the toy comes unpainted-- all the lines and stuff have to be added with Gundam markers. Apparently there's a community of Zoids customizers here...

From Revell: https://www.revell.de/en/products/new-products/u-s-s-enterprise-ncc-1701-tos.html



Also worth mentioning again, Revell now also sells Star Wars Bandai kits, so for those who can't get them normally, Revell to the rescue: https://www.revell.de/en/products/star-wars/star-wars-bandai/

The AT-ST at 1:48 scale (and at €30,-) may be an excellent stand in for the overpriced AT-ST done by FFG: https://www.revell.de/en/products/star-wars/star-wars-bandai/at-st.html



And while not a sci-fi kit, still useful to some: https://www.revell.de/en/products/new-products/viking-ghost-ship.html





Kit also comes with glow in the dark paint, if you want to still make it, or other things, spoopy.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Ooh, Revell also does Hobby Boss kits now, including a small range of 1:48 tanks: https://www.revell.de/en/products/modelmaking/hobby-boss/

They've also got this one:

Could you mix that Revell landing craft with the zoids for a self propelled admech transport thing

Star Wars: Legion's AT-ST is larger than the 1/48th scale kits. The model kits out there are indeed cheaper, but out of scale for anything other than terrain unless everyone's using the same size of figures. Something no doubt done deliberately by Fantasy Flight to curtail people buying 3rd party models.

I have the Bandai AT-ST, and if you didn’t have the FFG version set right next to it, you wouldn’t know the difference. I’ve actually reached for and grabbed it twice before I realized I had the wrong one - only because of the base.

Huh... I have that Viking ship currently under construction, bought for me by my wife about 10 years ago. Looks like they've just re-released the same kit, but with glow-in-the-dark paint!

I think the ghost ship version predates the regular version actually and it's something they keep re-releasing every few years, either as a normal kit or the spoopy version.

Longship stuck in a glacier would be a fine fantasy terrain piece.

Does anyone own any of the Mega-size Gundams? I'm hoping for a size comparison with 40K knights or titans.
