Dupes go on Youtube and look up "Star Blazers"..... the origins are from an anime show back in the 80s, which has been resurected twice now in Japan I believe..

Evening guys! I did manage to complete the build on this between dealing with the plumber and getting the water cleaned up.Only thing left to do is make up the rockets and get them painted and on the pylons.They'll get installed at the end with the canopy.Think i'll take this to work tomorrow and get some primer on.Hope you like it. BTW...The stand is awesome! Has 4 different ajustments.You can see them in the picsThe Falcon is just temporarlly attached to the stand for now.  005 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  006 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  007 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  008 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  009 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr Thanks for looking,as always ACW. |

For me the really cool aspect of this build is that it "seems" you completed it within a couple of days...... I have completed a PART in a couple of days in YEARS....
Againn cool build

LOL Thanks PJ! This was a pretty simple snap together kit and not as complicated as your scratch build projects which really ROCK. |

It's about 8 inches long. You know I cannot resist the obvious 'I bet you say that to all the girls' Cool-looking whatever-it-is - I think it would look really good in green alternatively, I've always liked Chris Foss' artwork |

Dierk,i knew you could'nt mate! To be honest,i tell them it's a tad bit longer.  That is some awesome art work by Chris Foss. |
