Revell releases HALO model kits

Hey Grim - where do you get the 40% off coupon?  I know I've heard about it, but where do I source it?  In the store, online?

I swear I responded to this already but don't see the response. Sorry bout that.
But go to www.hobbylobby.com and get the 40% off coupon.
Got to get back to Hobby Lobby to get mine.

Weird, I just saw a phone coupon denied at Hobby Lobby. Apparently, you can get those from other coupon sources, but you have to use Hobby Lobby's app to get the right code. Me, I always use the printed version, when I bother any more. My phone ain't of the smart variety.

Which I didn't when I checked it out, so didn't score this yet, but found a small kit version of Space 1999's Eagle for less than $10USD, so definitely did that, along with few other odd bits. Best I've done there in a long time.

Usually thecashiers have a copy at the register. They just need the code on the coupon.
HL doesn't use other company coupons. Michael's, Josnnes and A.C. Moore are all interchangeable but not HL. But don't know why you had the issue. Just go straight to their site next time I say.

But good news for me the GF had to go back I got my first one.:-)

What a great idea, Grim!...unfortunately I already have one and wouldn't want to deprive you of yours for the several weeks (months? - Still haven't finished the resin one!) It would take to complete! Anyone interested in commissioning a set of decals?

That Pelican Dropship looks excellent... and not too much of a stretch for a 28mm Space Dwarf/Grymn aircraft as well

... just paint the cockpit glass and seal up the hull.

[Elbows]

It's absolutely workable in 28mm --- the scale is perfect for a small shuttle.  I'll probably swap out the wings or add some components to shift the aesthetic a little bit.  EDIT: NOT MINE!

DOUBLE MEGA EDIT: Not the Revell kit, but another 1/100 Pelican

[Daeothar]

Wow; very nice!

I believe he goes by the name of Steelworker (or Scrapwelder or something along those lines), but he has posted many conversions of smaller scale ships and planes with the cockpit area slightly altered to be suitable for 28mm figures.

From the looks of it, that would definitely be possible with this ship as well!

[Elbows]

That's not mine   Just a shot showing the scale pretty well.

[Inso]

Is that the 15mm one from Spartan?

Is that the 15mm one from Spartan?

Yeah, that was their official showcase model. It's also a proper D77. My only issue with the revell kit is it's the D79 from Halo 4 & 5, which is far more rounded and has a different shaped cockpit more like a Hind D that I'm not fond of. It's unfortunate that I waited so long to order from Spartan Games, since they went out of business, I had been putting off purchasing the resin one for months figuring I had all the time in the world

Nicely painted one here http://www.tanksandtrolls.co.uk/Halo%20Ground%20Command.htm
 I have both the Revell and the Spartan Games resin version. Looking into commissioning decals...

[Elbows]

Ah, sorry, you guys are right - I can see the different cockpit now, etc.  I'd assume they're close to the same size --- but my bad.  It showed up under image search for the Revell one.
