Not sure if there is a better place to post this but looks like my items at HLJ won’t be able to be shipped at this time.

There’s actually a thread somewhere for it, but I never see it. Personally I think a lot of us just see things like that here or in the model section whenever someone posts it in random threads more often than its dedicated thread. 
Unfortunately things are very complicated for toy collectors and model builders since the majority of our favorite things come from countries that are affected. At least HLJ is ok with holding our stuff in the Private Warehouse, but then there’s the question of how long is this situation gonna last? Will it be months or even years? Things had already been going up in prices and now these new tariffs are probably gonna pump up the prices even more. But hopefully this will kinda blow over soon and things can get back to normal. I got a big backlog already and when my stuff over there finally gets shipped, I’m gonna have an instant backlog boost

Yeah I also have plenty of kits in my stash, but some of the items in the private warehouse are calling to me. Time will tell.

Final Report : Enterprise Leaving Space Dock : NCC-1701...No bloody A, B, C or D! 😂.

Polar Lights 1/1000 TOS Enterprise Space Seed Edition completed. This was a looong build because life interfered over the past year and a half, this kit was old, you can just tell.... it's my least favorite Enterprise design and the fit issues... My goodness. Soooo much putty and sanding to get rid of ALL the seams..thought it would never end... along with other issues that cropped up along the way...stupid clear domes that are now forever rattling around inside the saucer... But anyways!!!... I'm pretty darn happy with the final result. Looks good enough for me to want to display it at work with my other 1/1000 scale ships. Enjoy the pics! Onto the next unfinished kit on the list! 😁 

Looks amazing!  You have me a little scared for this, its in my stash (although its even older and its the first release without Khan's ship - I wished I got that version) and nothing I hate more than sanding.  I think it will continue to be relegated to the back of the stash.  But yours looks so good - congrats!

 

So sorry to hear about your burns @pengbuzz - take good care of it.

Thanks; all they gave me was Tylenol.  Whiskey would have been better...

I managed to build this kit without too many issues; I just used permatex plastic welder to fill in where the gaps were.
