Maxx is a great builder. Their Cloud City model is something I want to buy but they've never replied to my messages. 
I contacted him on Facebook, he is not present every day, but he answers in the end. And he is very busy, but keep trying. If you want I could drop him a message about you, just let me know.Maxx is a great builder. Their Cloud City model is something I want to buy but they've never replied to my messages.![]()
Thanks. It came assembled and finished (very light weathering in my case), it was 800. Aren't you a little short for a TIE Bomber?That's awesome! So it came in parts and you put it together? How big? How much $?
Aren't you a little short for a TIE Bomber?
In fact the code 3 Vader's TIE is quite close in scale to the screen used TIE Fighter and Vader's Advanced studio scale. The TIE Bomber is the only studio scale TIE that is smaller than the others. The same way they made 5-6 different size Millennium Falcons and AT-AT's studio scale models for filming
That could look great next to the old Vader Code 3 TIE. The scales might be pretty close.

Congrats Sergiu! Looking good.
Thanks guys. The thing is the box arrived with a puncture affecting the cardboard top poster, but the other parts were not damaged at all, this because the blaster box/tray was very solid and whatever punctured the cardboard boxes couldn't go through the plastic tray. All these considered, the trip at the customs was one of my worst experiences since I started collecting decades ago. When I told Andrea from RS Prop Masters about this insane and expensive experience she couldn't believe it - I had to take 3 trips in and out of the city to go to the customs commissioners (about 9 km outside of the city) to pay 90 Euros customs, from which about 50 Euros was the commission for these middlemen who "take care" of your package. So the regular customs tax and VAT were only 40 Euros, while their commission was 50 Euros. Greedy and useless sons of...Those are absolutely fantastic pick ups! I may have to do a little digging.
Owh no... that's terrible. sorry to hear that.Thanks guys.

Anyway I'm glad my Imperial blaster collection is now finished. There might be a Tunisian Bapty E-11 in the works some day, but for now I have all the blasters I want. It only took me a decade.![]()

Good thing the box was well protected and the blaster itself is not damaged...
Yeah- somebody needs to create the awareness.I posted the entire cringe story on another forum. Bureaucracy and greed at their finest...![]()

Thanks GC!Agreed That is an awesome looking plaque and display
Thanks. Maxx has that brushed aluminum base for all his models. Which is quite cool, and looks a bit like the EFX modelsI like the display base for the tie bomber as well. Everything is on point ! I can see the effort that you put into you collection.
Yep that's why I think it's on point and a great pairingThanks. Maxx has that brushed aluminum base for all his models. Which is quite cool, and looks a bit like the EFX models
Yes, the affected plaques are stored now. With autographs it depends on a few factors like the medium it is written on (paper, metal, plastic ec.), the quality of the sharpie that was used, the place the autographed item was stored or displayed, if there was direct light (and UV rays) on it, temperature and humidity etc.Are you storing the plaques in a safe place now?
Good you saw it by time, it would be a pity.
