Martinnfb Posted November 27, 2024 Posted November 27, 2024 Amazing. So many what-if possibilities. Hopefully the price tag will not reach such shameless heights as it is in case of the ZM kit. 2
BlrwestSiR Posted November 27, 2024 Posted November 27, 2024 Martin, I agree. Definitely hope it's a reasonable price. 2
CANicoll Posted November 30, 2024 Posted November 30, 2024 When I saw Martin's post, only the top picture was on screen, and immediately thought "Buzz!". Perfect! 1 2
BlrwestSiR Posted December 31, 2024 Posted December 31, 2024 Border Models has announced a new figure model- Tesla trooper. Looks like Elon is branching out from cars into power armour. 1 5

HubertB Posted January 16 Posted January 16 It does not say the scale … mmmmh …. Border ? … 1/35 ! (Or, if it’s a ship scale 1/224.5, just because ) Hubert 4
belugawhaleman Posted January 16 Posted January 16 I think it's in 1/350. I was expecting 1/200 considering the detail ! https://www.scalemates.com/kits/border-model-bs-004-yamato--1554338 1

You can certainly call me a scale snob, but 1/35 does not make any sense in a modelling world … Ok, it’s already bad enough that it became a « standard » scale for armour - when it was made up as an afterthought to justify a (bad) box-scale representation of the Panther, but why apply it to flying things ? As for modern kits of aircrafts, it’s just an incredibly badly thought-out attempt at trying to find a distinctive feature for one’s new range. Having been a marketing man for a few decades, that is a recommendation where I would definitely have sent the product manager putting it forward back to some more thorough market analysis and thinking, with a strong reminder (well dressing-down is probably an apter word) that product quality is first and foremost to making a real market impression, before trying any supposed « smart » side trick … Just my two cents, of course … Hubert 3 2

So it’s going to be in the « off » position (like in 1=on, 2=off) ? Hubert, who knows zilch nada rien nothing about video games consoles … 1

Cheers Rob If you're like my son Edward, they're more a "what's inside the box?" mystery solved with a screwdriver. Scale looks to be 1.2/1 or thereabouts. 3

I linked the third part (final analysis of the built models). It´s in Japanese, but you can deploy subtitles and you will get the message. Cheers Rob 2 1
