Oh we love the big boxes.
10 lbs! |
"Two hand scale" |
I ordered this a few months back from goldenarmor.com. 325 smackers.
All everything |
Main body shells |
The body sections are 24 inches long. They come primed in gray. The finish is pretty good. They are not perfect. This may sound like a criticism, but authentic prop models show the work of tools and human hands. This is what makes them special. Collector models billed as prop replicas made through 3d modeling often have an assembly line look. Too finished. So, I like the little flaws here and there. It shows the physical work of story making.
Hollow interior |
The insides are fiberglass. Not looking forward to the grinding and dust. Grinding is the worst.
Interior parts |
After I ordered mine, an interior was added. Golden Armor included mine for free as I had already paid. Very nice! Thanks! The seats and consoles get put onto the large laser cut panel. The seats are primed as well.
Dash board console. |
The main console is a big clear part meant to be lit. As I understand there will be a light kit for this. I have worked with a lot of resin. So glad I didn't have to pour any of this. Thinking about the molds and setting them up....eooooh. Icky-poo man.
Various detail parts |
Details are separate. Mostly underside details. Grille, etcetera.
Stickers and lights |
The last bits are the translucent bits for the lit areas of the model and the decals. Lot of lights inside and out side of the kit.
"Feed me, Seymour" |
This is going to be a great kit. It goes well with other studio scale models, being large, but not overly so. It has the right feel of a prop model. I have sprayed a lot of yellow paint...not looking forward to that! There is no room for error!
A great model from a now CLASSIC sci-fi movie! You can find the taxi at:
