It looks a bit darker than she is due to the poor light. Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Yes there is Crew - and I will get around to painting them at some stage - they are just a tad small and I cant decide what colour their eyes should be! Also need to get some serious magnification going on too. They are made of rubber and not styrene so the undercoat will probably fill in any detail. But it will be worth doing it as it gives an idea of scale.

How many with glasses - although I suspect that's going to be easy after the eye colour thing... Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

I could not resist picking this kit up during a sale while the exchange rate was good, landed for just over $100
Could not belive the size of the box, amazing detial right through, no idea when im gonna build it, or how im gonna spray and store it but just could not pass it up and builds like this make me wanna crack it open but also make me realise it will never look that good.
