I won this at a model show raffle. I've been thinking about building it in black and white for this SiG.

Since me and Scott were chatting about the Dune novels, here's a couple of stills from the movie

Post by **digger303** » Wed May 15, 2019 11:49 am

read the books , but have never seen the movie or movies. Never having a tv for so long you know how it goes. They stop playing the oldies. ONE gets so far behind being so far down under !

Ps ...you guys know what books are rigGHT !

Well I think this thread has worn me down....

currently on Ebay looking for a suitable kit, as I have nothing that qualifies as sci-fi in my stash, but if all goes to plan, I'm in, what I'm building....I have no idea at this point.......

Any ideas anyone?

I'll build anything for fun!

If you want something quick and easy then the Bandai Star Wars range is great - several of us have built X-Wings and someone not too far removed from this thread got all over excited and prematurely built a B-Wing recently.

Oh yeah - Fahrenheit 451 told us all about them

Seriously though I've always got a book on the go - some of them are even still on paper rather than that reading gadget thing I've got too

Cheers! I fancy having a go at some kind of figure for a change, thrown a few bids at some Gunpla/gundam figures at the moment.

I do like the look of those Star Wars Bandai kits, but would rather build something a bit less known to everyone else to keep the GB interesting.

Cool

If you get chance then maybe browse through this GB from a couple of years back: here

It might give you some ideas

This looks like a nice kit I will be paying close attention to this one, would love to build it myself

Nice

The rest of her gets pretty creepy as well. Ask Alfred Molina what happens after sex with her!

Question.

What do you have on your Sci-Fi kit wish list? What would you love to build that isn’t available?

For me it’s a decent size Death Star from ROTJ, I would love all that unfinished detail. Bandai make one but it’s tiny.

Or a hover carrier from The Avengers. Saw one made from an aircraft carrier kit but that is way beyond my sausage fingered skills.

By the way, not rain on anyone’s parade but the earth isn’t flat, nor is it round.

It is an oblate spheroid so
