    I just try not to think of it :-) it works out €41 a month, which is a €10 a week, so the cost of 2 pints a week, Not so bad, but I'm over half way now, :-) and I will defo look to keep building after this one, Its great for the mental health,

    building is addictive, I am thinking about doing the falcon after this,

    The Batmobile is tempting, but Id like to move away from Cars after this one,

    how you finding the falcon, would be a good crossover for a second build?

    Falcon is huge. Needs to be totally repainted and modded though to get it right. I think there is a link to my thread in my signature there. I’m enjoying it but it’s taking years to build with the painting etc. haha it’s a great learning experience though if you haven’t painted anything before , which I haven’t myself up until I decided to do this. Did a Viper from battlestar and an ATST first just to practice.

    I was thinking about R2D2 after the falcon but might do the delorean instead. If I ever finish this one.

    Hi Nodferatu,

    its 1:8 scale model, so its a monster of a thing, mostly metal very heavy,


    glad to have you on board, hopefully I will have the next delivery in 3 weeks,

    Cheers,

    Just came across this thread, subscribed to build my own delorean back in May 5th and have gotten off to a bad start. Was supposed to take 21 days for first delivery of issues 1,2,&3 but nothing arrived, emailed them said they would resend them and would take a further 21 days, but in the mean time issues 4-7 are in the post so I waited 27 days later nó sign of issue's 1,2&3 but finally got something, opened it up and only found issues 4 & 7 inside nó 5 or 6. So I rang them up, now I'm calling from Ireland and was left for ages listening to music on the line at my expense, when I finally got through was told it would be August before I see issues 1,2,3,5,6, and they would come with 8,9,10,11. So all I have is issues 4 & 7 and might I say 4 was all grubby and with creases and not in plastic cover and parts in seven were covered in a thick layer of dust. But checked my account and three months payments have gone out 🙠of my bank. Really disappointed in service so far.

    issue 2 parts only no mag
    issue 3 parts only no mag
    issue 4 complete
    issue 5 not delivered

    Id bet the print run has passed and they don't have any old stock left of it - possibly only some shop returns left.

    Ill call it a loss now return what you have and seek a refund - no use without a full set.

    They might re-print it again in a few years if it was popular.

    That sounds like eaglemoss......

    I remember people having similar issues with delivery of the military watches collection magazine, they released that in Australia a few months later and then they had more stock

    Hey Paddy,
    I feel your pain, Eaglemoss changed there distribution operations back in January and I was left hanging for 4 months with no issues, and as you can imagine I was so angry as they have no problem taking the money out,
    The service is god awful and I am not sure how they can get it so bad, all I can say is hang in there and it will be worth it in the end,  However if I was to start all over I would have just collected the issue every week in Easons as eaglemoss distribution is a Joke. 
    Hope you get a chance to put it together because it really is something else:-) feel free to post pictures here

    Its not finished as they are still taking orders and opening up to new regions Like Australia and America, 
    They are just Awful at managing the orders, worst service ever!

    Sorry Man, I don't think I could part with something like this, its consumed over a year of my life so far, Its with me for Life,

    Thanks for the offer, I am sure there will be a few up for sale on ebay once the build is complete,

    If you're looking for a completed version, eBay is probably the best route. UK and Ireland subscribers are up to issue 83 out of 130, so there is still another year to go before they will start becoming available.

    If you're looking for a partially complete version, there are people on FaceBook selling theirs as they are so frustrated with Eaglemoss.

    If you're looking at buying the whole thing in one go, Eaglemoss may have it available at the end (they do for the Millennium Falcon since that finished, anyway).

    I just know I would start with best intentions and then never finish it. So yes fully complete

    You need to get it on public display once you are finished!

    I'd love to see it.

    Would you think of approaching your local library or something to display it for a week or two?
