miriya Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 I was cruzing evilbay and saw this zentraedi flagship resin model. It looks really nice. A bit on the pricey side but gorgeous. I would love to get one but not right now. If any of you modelling masters are interested take a look. Supposedly 19 inches long! It is ebay auction number 180213080210 Quote
miriya Posted February 6, 2008 Author Posted February 6, 2008 The price doesn't make scenes^_^ It is probably a "garage kit" made in a very small batch. I am sure it is rare. But, yes, that is a LOT of money for a model kit. Quote
Ranger565 Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 It is probably a "garage kit" made in a very small batch. I am sure it is rare. But, yes, that is a LOT of money for a model kit. The kits were sold on Macross world by the creater about a year ago. I am sure you can find if you did back in the pages about the kits. These have been out a while. and many of our members have them. Hope this helps. Quote
thegunny Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 I got one about a year ago. Nice kit but DEFINITELY NOT worth the money They are not rare as he has sold quite a few of them and has had them up on ebay quite often. Quote
warpaint22 Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 I think these are the ones done by a guy down here in Oz, I think he is in Sydney. He does a lot of star wars star destroyers in resin I remember seeing his items on another site for sale maybe starship modeler. I'll have a look and see if I can find his website. Still quite expensive for what it is IMO. Quote
warpaint22 Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 After about an hour I found him, Scale Solutions is his site here is the link http://users.hunterlink.net.au/~ddwwp/index.htm Quote
007-vf1 Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 I think is a good interpretation of the original series. My cast piece were slightly twisted. So theres a chance anyone might get a slightly bad batch of them; But I always expect something like that on a resin model. Is true that the price is just a bit too high but I want someone to show me an alternative...? How about a pic of one built..? Quote
Valk009 Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Well, honestly the price is in my opinion very good. The kit is huge, so besides earning something for the sculpt, which is most likely done via one of those 3D processing machines, the mold and the amount of resin used, makes this a fair price. Quote
MechTech Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Heh heh, the "poop ship" keeps popping up like something that won't flush down the toilet. Everyone says how expensive it is, but a lot of hard work went into it. I remember the build up thread. - MT Quote
Berttt Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Yeah, a lot of people are fooled by the cheap prices of recast kits sold here on MW. But no on complained about Thorsten hefty pric tag for his Ghost. More expensive than a Captain America kit for sure, with about twic as much resin in it. Quote
PetarB Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 To be honest, it looks like a really nice sculpt! Quote
Berttt Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 It is. I've seen plenty of them close up and spoken to Wayne (ScaleSolutions) about it. Quote
