All I see is you buying up the world's supply of colonial vipers.

Matt, you seriously need help... the first step to being clean is to admit you have a problem...

It's 1:1 scale, from Hollywood Collectibles - google them for your nearest distributor.

I believe the UK Propstore had 75 of the 1000 limited edition run, and pre-sold the lot, as they've been in the offing for over a year.  Its in the "Brown Bess" paint job of the original props, but i believe there may be a "percieved green" version as well.

Fleabay may be the best bet now.

ah - the Vipers  :D

MkIs (original series) are easy to come by - look for the Joyride version - its approx 1:48 in scale, although the pilot that comes with it is more 1:72. Looking at $15-30 a go.

MkII and MKVII (reimagined series) are much harder to find.  There is a guy in Brazil, on ebay, that sells resin ones, painted and made up, and is probably your best bet.  The better, but harder to get option is the now OOP Black Sun Models kits - neither is cheap - looking at $80 a pop.

I should really get pics of my sword and my helmets... although they would not qualify as 'latest received...'

Yesterday I bought a Canadian version of the American M1 helmet for about £20 at an army surplus store and I’m considering changing it into an USMC helmet from WW2.
