Always thought Grumman had a way of rendering a shape all their own on some things.144hackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750276903753077079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20128243.post-44376203397876568162010-02-20T08:58:55.928+00:002010-02-20T08:58:55.928+00:00There is a lot of info on the Straship Modeller bl...There is a lot of info on the Straship Modeller blog regarding Anigrand & The Lucas Lawyers.<br /><br /> as for the similarities between Anigrand and Fine mould they are either both researched from same sosruces, there is of course ltos of informaiton regarding this item.<br /><br />and, lets not forget finemolds have had a very sucessful range in 1/72 and larger for some time (with the dreaded mandible issue!) and this is repeated in the finemolds 1/144 kit. Apparently this is less of a prolem in the Anigrand kit!? So, there may be a lot of overlap but they would appear to be different.bluedonkey99https://www.blogger.com/profile/09795623201613670031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20128243.post-279406941518902082010-02-20T02:19:57.210+00:002010-02-20T02:19:57.210+00:00Looking forward to this one!

Nostalgicplastic, for example, doesn't carry the SciFi kits any longer. On the Anigrand site, however, the SciFi link was functional up until just a few days ago. They have not updated the site for about 2 weeks though, which I hope is just a coincidence and not a sign of Lucas's lawyer's at work. <br /><br />On a tangent, HLJ has some detailed pictures of the upcoming Fine Mold's Falcon:<br />www.hlj.com/product/fnmsw-11<br /><br />I compared these to the Anigrand kit and they appear to be identical. I have a feeling that this kit was based on the Anigrand mold, yet selling for half of the price, without the headache of dealing with resin. <br /><br />Still, here's hoping that Anigrand survives the Lucas battle, assuming that they're in trouble with them, and continues normal business.badgernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20128243.post-9550182759084630072010-02-20T00:39:14.180+00:002010-02-20T00:39:14.180+00:00I followed the link for the Mohawk for sale and I ...I followed the link for the Mohawk for sale and I had to laugh to find out it's right here in my town of Rockford, IL. Pretty cool.<br /><br />On a totally unrelated note, Amigrand's Sci-fi section of their website appears to be gone. Everything else works but the links lead to Yahoo error pages. My guess would be that they received the dreaded 'cease & desist' letter from Lucasfilm. Either that, or Lucasfilm contacted their hosting directly and had them remove the pages.<br />Either way, it's too bad because they were making some beautiful models, albeit unlicensed ones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
