But how ugly is shipping?

SAL rate is what I always use. Keeps the rate as low as possible and I have yet to have a package go MIA…

Hope this helps!

Yea, SAL is good, and not too slow.

Runs about, or used to, 20% of the cost of the items.

Leland,

Ordered a Deusura and 2 Domelaze kits.Thanks for the notice on the sale.

Do you prime these kits if painting them????

At 111yen to the dollar, prices are stupid-cheap.

I can's say enough nice things about Hobby Link Japan: I once placed an order with them on a Monday, got an email the next day telling me the order had been processed and shipped, and it was at my door the following monday, SIX DAYS LATER.

@Drake, I personally prime my models flat black before painting beacuse I use a style of drybrushing up in increasingly lighter shades for starship models:

@Grimm, "They are unable to respond, they are unwilling to respond." See my professional profile for details, and yes, I read your latest mad ravings in my e-mail box… thanks! But I'm already neck-deep in projects…evil grin

@Lion, well, don't just sit there gawking at me like a confused Aslan on his first shore leave on Terra! Go order a few new space battleships for your galaxy-conquering armada!evil grin

@IronMike, yup. Seconded. HLJ's service is always first class!

Dear Leland – you are at serious risk of being kidnapped and forced to paint my Warhounds. Please be kind to the gentlemen in the white van – they're Night Watch players. Sincerely, I remain, Etc.

I have Japanese spaceship kits that I haven't even built yet, so I'm not going to acquire any more. Those are great prices, though.

BlackWidowPilot Fezian20 Mar 2016 9:30 a.m. PST

@parrot1500, well, I have been known to accept commissions when sufficiently enticed out of my shell….evil grin

@Glenn, c'mon now, you know you want to add a few thousands more to your hoard…evil grin

P.S. @MacrossMartin; That's too good for me not to re use at some point :)

MacrossMartin29 Mar 2016 6:22 p.m. PST

Couldn't resist. :D

Also, STILL skint, but good to see at least someone is taking advantage of the sale. Ah well!

Thylacine DF29 Mar 2016 8:15 p.m. PST

I feel your pain, but it was my 50th\Easter\Beth's birthday last weekend so Beth was happy to cut me some slack, a better wargaming wife no man could ask for :)
