WTB SS ESB AT-ST Kit - Turrican - 10-30-2016
Hi guys,
looking for years after a SS ESB AT-ST kit.
If someone of you would like to part with it, just let me know.
Cheers and thaks for watching.

Best I know there never was a 'kit'.
The armature and vac-formed head were available, along with some parts cast in resin, but the rest is just people buying the kits needed.
I'm building one now :-)
I have converted the Armature files to work with being laser cut from Acrylic. They require a little work but in general make for a decent static model.
The files will be given out shortly. I could also make a set of parts for cost (not profit)

There was a kit made by Nice-N, but due to the lack of reference at this time it was all wrong and half of the kitparts werent correctly ID'ed. My kit ended in the trash bin only a few days after I received the kit.
So we decided to make our own, Allan designed the plexi armature then the aluminium one and the missing parts were ID'ed by Allan and Lee.

Yeah id avoid the resin NiceN kit. Its a mile off in accuracy, and the casting i got was pretty shoddy to say the least, it worked out well as this kit moved us to work and research on the alloy armature and MUCH corrected head pattern.
Good times IDing that one, all involved made some amazing finds, that did get soured a tad by some folk but you can't have it all can you!
Try sourcing an armature, there much be some gathering dust as not many have been built at all, you will be much happier, than with the resin kit that is, rather yuck really.

Hey guys,
thanks for chiming in.
With kit i not necessarily meant to own a complete resin kit.
Anything accurate, if resin, metal, acrylic or a mix of all of it would work as long as it's close to screen as possible.
As i have seen your builds, your opinion on that model is really much appreciated by me.
I would be happy if my build would be as half as good as yours.
As i have not the possibility to laser cut me something, i only can buy stuff from guys like you.
If you guys should ever offer a kit, i would be more than very happy to own one.
Thanks a lot for your help on this.
