Ordered my "The end is Nigh" entry. AND I'M OUT (SEE post #9)

As some of you may have noticed, I've managed to stick with 1/35 scale since my return to the hobby (when I get around to airplanes again they will all be 1/72).
Since the SIG starts in just over 3 weeks (yes, it's that soon!) I had a look around for some ideas, and:



That's the "real" one, but the make a 1/35 kit!

For those who don't know, it's the Landmaster from Damnation Alley.





It seems the kit has a partial interior and the rear ramp can be open:

Looks like a busy new year, with the "Winter is coming" GB running at the same time, and I already have:

I'm curious how that wheel arrangement is meant to work. I find it funny post apoc stuff is always so impractical, not that that's a problem.

Quit posting interesting stuff when I should be working.

So I finally had some time to take a good look at the kit, and I'm out of the SIG.
In case you don't go over to youtube to watch, my comments in the description were:
AVOID THIS STEAMING PILE OF SH@# LIKE A BLOW@#B FROM A DISEASED SHARKED TOOTHED HOOKER WITH A OVERACTIVE GAG REFLEX AND INTERMITTENT LOCKJAW.
Yes, it's that bad. Monsters-in-Motion should crawl under a rock and die of shame for producing this. BTW this resin abortion costs $125usd.
The video is salty too:

That's a real shame mate, I was looking forward to this one!

If you paid via PayPal, start a dispute then contact the company, that piece of resin is atrocious!

[Astaroth]

Oh my god. They should be embarrassed to ship a kit like that. It seems those molds have seen their best times a long while ago.

I really hope you get your money back.
