I thought I heard 1:1 as well. Someone should sign up then report the to Trading standards _!\ said:Apparently it's 1:1 scale so I'd have to build it on my local playing field.It's a shame they're doing it as a parts-work magazine thing. I'd (maybe) be prepared to pay a couple of hundred pounds less to get it all in one, and do without 100 issues of a magazine that might get read once and then discarded. Being 1/43 scale it's close enough to 1/48 to create some kind of diorama, too. Very cool.
Yep, it is 1/1 of the model used in the film.\ said:I think the ad said something like 1:1 of a replica used in filming - in other words it is a model of one of the models used.
You get a free wall/table stand for it so I guess I'll stick it in the air :D\ said:Wow Alan that's big will look awesome when it's finished were do you intend to keep it
Or due to insufficient interest the publishing company decide to terminate the magazine halfway through!\ said:I wouldn't have gone for this if there was anything close to it but there isn't so ive gone for it and ill wait until I have every part and then I will put an under construction thread upOnly nuclear war can stop me :D
\ said:Got to admit that Im really tempted to buy this, however Im put off by the fact that the last 2 part works I bought stopped early. Freinds stopped after 4 issues and some baking parkwork I bought last year stopped after about 15.What would I do with a half finsihed giant millenium falcon thats cost me £450 and no chance of a refund.
If there was some kind of "Didnt get what I paid for ruling" with the law on my side I would re-consider
I know what you guys are saying but this isn't just some niche item here this is star wars and there are enough SW nerds out there that will go for this\ said:Or due to insufficient interest the publishing company decide to terminate the magazine halfway through!
I can think of a million things but something I personally wouldn't get so much enjoyment from\ said:Imagine what else you could spend £900 on?!!!
If it was something I was passionate about I'd go for it with no worries of risk or funds I'd be in there with both feet so I say good luck to you Alan and at a cost of £1.23a day it's never going to break the bank.I do wonder though how many of these will be on sale on ebay in 2 years time and at what price so this could also be a investment anyways good luck with it and I'm sure you will enjoy it and I very much look forward to the build thread although I believe for entertainment purposes you should do it week by week and not make us wait until you have collected all the parts it would be a great journey over the 2 years and I think many of us would look forward to you weekly update on what would be an epic thread in my opinion.\ said:I know what you guys are saying but this isn't just some niche item here this is star wars and there are enough SW nerds out there that will go for thisWe are not talking an eighteenth century gallon , we are not talking a battleship we are talking the most famous vessel from the biggest sci-fi franchise ever
Cheers John , I would love to do a thread now but this isn't like a conventional model by the look of it , you get parts each week but they are for diffent parts of the model so I would have half finished sections just sitting there for weeks\ said:If it was something I was passionate about I'd go for it with no worries of risk or funds I'd be in there with both feet so I say good luck to you Alan and at a cost of £1.23a day it's never going to break the bank.I do wonder though how many of these will be on sale on ebay in 2 years time and at what price so this could also be a investment anyways good luck with it and I'm sure you will enjoy it and I very much look forward to the build thread although I believe for entertainment purposes you should do it week by week and not make us wait until you have collected all the parts it would be a great journey over the 2 years and I think many of us would look forward to you weekly update on what would be an epic thread in my opinion.
ive bought decent cars for less than that :D\ said:Imagine what else you could spend £900 on?!!!
