Damn, I have wanted one of these ever since I first saw the movie. Well, at least now I know what to look for.
Itās not just the APC. Halcyon made a Dropship, a Power Loader, a couple of Aliens, the Narcissus shuttle and one or two other things. Be prepared to spend some $ though.
When were they released. I seem to recall seeing some kits of these many years ago, but I never got round to getting any. The dropship is another one I wanted but never got.
I think itās from '87. They usually go for upwards of $100 but I got a great deal so I had to go for it. Definitely going to take my time on this one.
Iāll have to keep my eyes out for those kits, thanks for brining them back to my attention, and I will be interested to see how yours builds up.
Wayne, Iād like to join in on this GB if that is ok. Iāll try my hand at the Moebius Battlestar Galactica kit.
I have some aftermarket PE and decals for the kit, and I plan to try lighting some of the kit.
Big congrads on snagging the Aliens APC Kafziel! I guy in our club built one, it was a kinda crude kit but built up into a beautiful replica. I think his biggest problem with the kit was yes- just getting ahold of it!
You might have to twist my arm, but I could jump on in with a BSG Viper II, in a custom scheme, of course.
Although, Iāve got to clear my bench first.

hey gamera
i snagged your POLAR LIGHTS D-7 tlhIngan mayāDuj at my col spgs club auction tonight. not sue how iām going to do it but, since i gave permission to do alternate stuff, may turn it into a klingon ācoast guardā vessel with international orange stripping.
got that and a 3d dolphin coast guard helo for a buck. spare parts and practice.
Wayne: Very cool!
Not sure the Klingons would have a Coast Guard- I figure theyād be more like āyou got yourself in this mess, get yourself out- or dieā¦ā [:P]
Still the movie version Stikpusher is building was in both Enterprise and Deep Space Nine so youāve got a service life of 200 or so years! [:|] No problem of assuming that maybe the TV version was around for a pretty long time and used in a plethora of different roles!
My kit is almost assembled, some sloppy seams that require a bunch of putty but otherwise a nicely engineered kit. Now I need a translation for 'FEARLESS SLAYER OF TRIBBLESāā¦
closest i could come to the klingon transliterated into from english is BRAVE TRIBBLE KILLERS or
Sub ylH HoHwIāmey.
as soon as i find a decent klingon alphabet graphic i can download, i will have have the klingon characters. then itās creating a single .jpg for each character. after that cut and past into klingon. will take a few days unless someone has already created a .jpg alphabet of good graphic quality.
update. installed a klingon true type font so donāt have to do the cut and past crap. i am such a geek though i did go to the range today.
Hey Wayne, count me in on this monster from Moebiusā¦gonna post a pic of the original MPC Raider beside Moebius`s correct 1:32 scale offering.
Iāve never done a group build before, but Iād like to. Please count me in! Gonna build the fine molds falcon. I know itās been done a hundred times, but Iāve never done one. So here goes.
Wayne: Lol, I was joking there! Still I might put Sub ylH HoHwIāmey on the base! The only markings Iāve ever seen on the D-7 is the insignia and the TCS (how it looks to me in English) above the engine nacelles.
Senormodeler: Welcome aboard! And thatās a beautiful kit, never built one myself but the ones Iāve seen at shows were amazing!
Wow, looking forward to seeing that 1/72 Falcon!
welcome to all the newcomers.
SENOR MODELER; not to worry this is my first host which i am now doing simultaneously with BRAILLE SCALE.
GAMERA here are 2 versions of your phrase in KLINGON characters.
Lol Wayne- thatās awesome!
Thanks!!!
Thanks, guys! Looking forward to it. A lots gonna happen for me this year. The wife is pregnant and due in October. So Iām going to try to do a lot before then and then there will probably be a lull.
Nice! Iāve got one of these in my stash. I also have one of the AMT/ERTL Falcons in the stash, too. Iām gonna use the AMT Falcon to practice the painting and weathering before I build my expensive Fine Molds Falcon.
Looking forward to seeing yours!
