I bought one at NYCC. They charge 2% extra for credit card so I paid straight cash homie.

 

[Darth_Masa]

Nice man! One of the first, on here, to get one in hand. Thoughts? When will you begin?

 

[myc]

awesome.. I would have bought it too if I were you !! How much was it ? $400?

$435 with tax. I found a $20 bill across the street when I left the convention though It was a pain to walk around the convention with since it was the first thing I did when I got there. They only had 30 to sell for NYCC so I was lucky to get one.

 

[myc]

awesome ! make sure to tell us your feedback and if you start to built..would love to hear your thoughts on it.

I'm looking at buying a set of Archive-X paints for this rather than use commercially made paint.
They're expensive, but the results I've seen so far are pretty convincing.

Archive-X painting the DeAgustini. He's nailing it.

Perfection is your enemy on the Falcon.

Any day where you get a new SW Bandai kit is a good day.

That's the MR Falcon he's repainting.. I also asked him to paint my Bandai Falcon.

... I also asked him to paint my Bandai Falcon.

Wow, Milo! I hope that progress photos will be somewhere online like his FB or something... I'd love to see the stages/technique.
I'm pretty nervous about painting mine when it arrives (and when I get some spare time).

how mach is he asking ?

 

[Darth Milo]

He is going to paint his own Bandai Falcon first and will let me know if he accepts my commission.. but we will definitely see progress photo's of his own build.
No price set

WIP, close to being finished this guy. If you can get your hands on this, I recommend! It's a very easy kit as well. It comes with an led light for his eye. *note* unfortunately it doesn't come with LED's for the 2 parts on the side. Have to purchase their dual led light up. I'm just going to Macguyver a 9V battery, wire and get some white LED diodes. Cheap and easy.

 

[myc]

Fantastic !!! Paint job looks great !! To bad its no in 1/4 scale

 

[Darth_Masa]

Thanks Myc! It's not that big, a foot and a halfish? Haven't taken the tape measure out.
