Maxx Replicas TIE Bomber studio scale:
That's awesome! So it came in parts and you put it together? How big? How much $?
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 could look great next to the old Vader Code 3 TIE. The scales might be pretty close.
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

Thanks, Sergiu. I appreciate it. I'm getting a couple of vehicles from MYC, but I do want the Cloud City model from Maxx and I haven't had any luck reaching him. Great builder. Your TIE Bomber is a clear example of how good their models are. Congrats on it. It looks fantastic on your shelf!
RS Prop Masters Scout blaster, a beautiful prop replica, with elegant stand and plaque. I love the blaster details, even the hidden RS logo. The weathering is perfect. Such an amazing little prop!
Those are absolutely fantastic pick ups! I may have to do a little digging.
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...
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...
I posted the entire cringe story on another forum. Bureaucracy and greed at their finest...Owh no... that's terrible. sorry to hear that.

Yeah- somebody needs to create the awareness.I posted the entire cringe story on another forum. Bureaucracy and greed at their finest...
I've some horror stories of my own about my local postal delivery standards as well....
some(not all) of the delivery workers at my neck of woods are just plain careless the way they handle packages.
A different display plaque for the DLT-19 heavy rifle.
Agreed That is an awesome looking plaque and displayA different display plaque for the DLT-19 heavy rifle.
Thanks GC!
Thanks. Maxx has that brushed aluminum base for all his models. Which is quite cool, and looks a bit like the EFX models
Yep that's why I think it's on point and a great pairing
A new AT-AT custom plaque. It replaced the signature plaques I used to have there, because they three out of four starting to fade - this is also the reason I decided to give up on getting anymore signed plaques. This is the way my Master Replicas AT-AT will be displayed from now on.
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.
Many years ago, when James Earl Jones still signed TTM, I re-sent him a dual signed plaque (the other signer was the regretted Dave Prowse) because JEJ's sig was fading. Of course he was kind enough to re-sign it. This is that plaque:
DMD 1/4 ANH Darth Vader statue #16/25 arrived. A spectacular piece, very accurate and the options of display are amazing. The base, lightsaber, chest box and belt boxes all light up (my saber is broken, but Dan will replace it). The ample capes flow naturally. The sculpt is beautiful, presenting the iconic villain in any pose you might want. One of the most impressive pieces out there, and the most accurate Vader scaled collectible. Simply superb!
Darth Vader States "Impressive , Most Impressive. Nice line up !!!!
Thank you
After my dad passing I considered taking a pause in collecting, but I remember his thoughts about us to keep going on with our lives. Collecting has been a part of my life forever, my father was involved in it in a few stages as well.
A small upgrade on the Denix DLT-19 Imperial heavy rifle: I received the lateral disc from a friend of mine (he even weathered it a bit like the screen used), he might make the cover box later on as well:

Using one for water since 2017, it's always in my EDC bag
