Kampfgruppe144 BBS

Just seen that a company called PM Office A is releasing a 1/144 model of the Vic Viper from the video game, Gradius.

I have a couple of these in 1/100 scale but may see if I can get the new release.

At the Milton Keynes model show back in May I found a seller with a pile of the 144th Bandai Star Wars kits which I had eyed up for a while, but decided to finally pick up.

On chatting to the seller, Keith from Cozmic Models, I discovered they made a selection of 3d prints...

Bit of a longshot but am looking for any models of the mecha from the anime series and movies Patlabor . I already know of and have the F-15 Kai from Patlabor 2 movie but was looking for the actual mecha both military and police. Bandai did a number in 1/60 and 1/48 scale but so...

Here am the bits.
The resin is seemingly flawless, with extremely finely engraved panel lines and only a couple of tiny bubbles at the extremes, though I think these extremes will be designed to be sanded off.

There's a lot of white metal. Very little flash and just the...

This was a contribution to the 1/144 Group Build, where 'Black' was the theme.

I hadn't realised before, but this is a kit of two models, the Aircraft-version AND the Big Robot-Suit Thingy.

I'd got this a while back, attracted to the early rocketship aesthetic.
This is a kit of few parts and an even simpler paint scheme...shiny!

Some painting effort will be needed to make the base look half-decent;

This is a very, very pointy rocketship, with a very,...

Erm...not a lot of parts with this one, although the resin IS beautifully cast, with a texture that's begging for...er....something!

Are we having maggots for tea, Mother?

One of the sticky-out bits was a tad bent, or warped! , as they say, in Resin Land.

So I put...

I posted this yesterday on ARC:

I have an idea... ( I know, before anybody says don't hurt yourself, go take a nap )... Bandai's Y-Wing is much more refined and more detailed than F-Toys. BUT F-Toys Y-Wing is a tad bit LARGER than Bandai's. So here's what I'm considering......

Another 'Special' from Fantastic Plastic.

Only the slightest of seam lines to remove and the vaguest hint of slight warping with the forward and rear 'booms'.

Fantastic Plastic have updated thier schedule, and there are anow 3x Items from Bablyon 5 up for pre-order!

So, I want show my Star Wars Models. But I'm must say, I'm not a huge fan of weathering, my Models are Brand new, like it or not ;)

I've been working on this one for a little while. I was inspired by the YouTube channel:
Boylei Hobby Time.

I bought a kit version of the Bandai Speeder and AT-ST set at a Hobby Lobby awhile back with no real plan for them. At the same time I had a glass jar that fit a base I...

I had this 3D printed 1/144 scale Shield Generator hanging around for awhile, and finally had the inspiration and motivation to throw it together.

It started out like this with a pair of pre-built Bandai Speeders.

The Shield Generator was sprayed with a grey primer, then...

It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust :D

Hi all,

Been watching Solo tonight, Rogue One tomorrow - the benefits of my wife signing up to Disney Plus!

I've been browsing the Bandai kits on Amazon, price seems to vary wildly. Which are worth getting and what is a good price?

I know the AT-AT is good but a little big...

Hello All,

Not sure what the scale is when it's all said and done as it relates to box size. It may well be in the vicinity of 1/144 when compared to the fine molds millennium falcon.

Anyways happy to take it down if it creates grief.

Whilst somewhat costly, at least you do get two in the box and the plastic seems well moulded, with lots of good detail and a comprehensive decal sheet...and stands...and pilots...and they're in 1/72!
I've already started painting the smaller pieces. 
NOTE that the pilots arm...
