I'm really digging the head sculpt on this one!

It's working for me now, thank you!

I rely quite a bit on email notifications for threads that I follow and noticed recently that I've stopped receiving them.

I'm kind of considering getting another one since it comes with Grand Slam. But at this point not sure where to PO since I really prefer ShowZ but there's no price posted. Hope it's lower than Ohmyprimus at US$138.70. Also, I'm wondering if they will ship it in original boxes that comes with it instead of those generic white box for some releases.

Anyone here have some feedback or used Ohmyprimus before?

 

They've been reliable for me.  I think I used them about 3-4 times now for DX Chogokins and third party items.  It does look like that shipping (to NY) is about $136 SGD or roughly $100 USD so it's about $240ish total I think.  I was about to bite at $140 but $240 is out of my budget at the moment.

-How much does it cost (I can never get the Tamashii site to work, I suck)?  According to P-Bandai website: 85800 yen (tax included)

-How tall is it? Does someone have a Yamato they can measure height vs length off of so I can calculate a probable height of this monster? I'm limited to 18". This one is 43.3" long.

I asked a friend that finished the Hachette one and will report back to you.  I think that would be the closest in terms of dimensions (37.4 inches in length by comparison)

-Is it detailed enough for my tastes?  I think this would be the largest you could get without having to build one.  But having spent some time with the Hachette version, it definitely doesn't look as detailed.  But if it is high up on the wall...maybe it won't matter as much?

-How much is it going to cost to ship? My guess $250-300.  It's quite a beast, I would be curious to know as well.

Any reason you guys aren't ordering it from Oh My Primus?

I've ordered a few items now from ohmyprimus and they've always shipped promptly using DHL Express.  They've also packed the items well.

The only thing I can think of is that show.z might come out to be cheaper and lower initial deposit for the preorder.

I airbrushed the Mecha Collection models and I could barely see the things without magnification. 

 

Thanks for the progress shots!  They came out looking great and I can totally relate with the magnification part haha.

Beautiful stuff @peter!  Thank you for sharing.  Do you airbrush the mecha collection models or hand paint?

awesome work!

My GM light armor finally showed up. I'm going to end up with an RD GM Museum

 

That would be pretty sweet.  I wish I had all of the gm and zaku variants!

I haven't seen the anime but I really love the designs!  Darn it lol, preordered....

Love it, thanks for sharing!

My friend and I are going for the Andromeda too.  Although I have yet to even come close to finishing the Yamato!

Thanks for the info, I called DHL told me they had a back up on processing at Cincinnati hub.  Package arrived today. 

Awesome!  That's good to hear.

I wanted to ask if anyone who ordered the 2nd release of Super Parts from Big in Japan have you received your sets via DHL?

Hi, I ordered from them and received mine at the end of last week.  They did send me a message asking for payment of shipping fees before sending out.

What a big difference!  I think it came out really nice, great job!

My friend had the same issue with the torpedo doors.  He tried to replace the circuit board with a replacement issue but it still wasn't working.  So he took another look at the limit switch and it turns out that after he cut back the heat shrink the wire had broken inside but was still held on with the heat shrink.  He is still working on fixing it but will post if there are any updates.  Hope that helps!  

The third kit is available for pre-order - PLAIOBOT TENGEN TOPPA GURREN LAGANN: SUPER GALAXY GURREN LAGANN

Hello, does anyone know what shop is ST* COLLECTOYSGOU TOKYO J ? This is what appears on my bank statement for ordering a Chogokin Super Parts set.  Thanks

Edit: Nevermind, it must be "Big in Japan" because that's the only site besides AE that has my order.  Hopefully this post helps someone in the future though

I can confirm that it is Big in Japan 

great information, thanks for the review!

Neee ha-made it to last issue without breaking anything!

I posted more pics here.  It's not perfect, and there are couple of issues I'm still trying to improve, but it's still a great model.

Those photos look amazing!  Great job and thanks for sharing

For those looking to create or order a display case here are the dimensions from the Hachette site:

44.5cm × 115cm x 36cm
Might be able to cheat and save a little $ as theirs looks a little oversized.

Once mine is finished I'll get some more accurate measurements.

My friend suggested a screencap printed starfield background and that got me really psyched, lol!  

I'll let you guys know if I find anything reasonable.
Who knows maybe we can do a small group buy.

But might just end up using lucite/heat gun/3d printing.

Yes! please share what you end up with.
