Topic: Gaming Tat (...Return of the Tat!)

@LieutenantFatman Thanks for the warning, I have it in my Amazon wish list so would get it through them. If the price dips I might bite. I'd be interested to see any pics of the Resident Evil 3 one if you fell like posting them. Pre or post painting (or both).

@BearsEatBeets
Yep, I'll definitely post some pics of the Resi 3 stuff when I get it through, looking forward to it.

Looks like a candidate for my rapidly growing board game collection.

@BearsEatBeets Really. Looks promising

The postage and taxes that will be added are a pain but I'm tempted.

@BearsEatBeets Garrus is worth the trouble. Love him.

@BearsEatBeets @nessisonett Garrus is the best. That's a gorgeous statue!

I hadn't considered that the remastered trilogy might trigger a new wave of collectibles. Mass Effect is probably the last of my major loves that I don't have represented on my shelves.

Hold on... my wallet's trying to make a break for the door... get back here...!!

@RogerRoger @nessisonett If they are only to do one character with this, Garrus is a no-brainer. Still if it sells well maybe they will do more (which could be expensive if I bite and want more). I'm the same @RogerRoger, the only thing I have from the originals is a nice big canvas print of the Normandy but I've added (or will add when it comes) the Legendary Cache helmet.

@BearsEatBeets If they release a decent model of the Normandy SR-1 then I'd clear some space for it, no question. Characters are one thing, but I'd want the ship in a heartbeat.

@RogerRoger I agree. They have this coming out imminently but I don't think the paintjob on it looks particularly good

especially in the close up

It's here if you want to check it out.

Now make make a UCS Lego version and take my money now. Or get the Eaglemoss peeps to make one, they seem to be good at ships.

@BearsEatBeets
Oh crikey, paint is all over the place on that, I see what you mean.

@BearsEatBeets Ouch... yeah, that paintjob ain't pretty. A shame, as that's the only SR-2 that I'd consider for a display, as well. I hate its Cerberus livery from Mass Effect 2.

Thanks, though. Maybe that's a rushed prototype. If some in-hand reviews are good, I might bite.

Eaglemoss are better overall, but can be quite inconsistent at times. They have a neat automated paint application method which ensures solid coverage, but frequently screws up its alignment, meaning marks for windows miss their indents and whatnot. It's the kinda stuff you only see up-close and personal, but it can knock a few points off some of their more premium products.

@JohnnyShoulder Man, it's days like these I wish I was on social media.

This turned up last weekend so I'm all set for next week.

just got to decide which way to go on my first playthroughs.

And after the issues with the paintwork of the last one, this version of the Normandy is quite tempting.

@BearsEatBeets Nice helmet! [awkward pause] No, seriously, that's lookin' real sweet.

Will you be wearing it whilst playing? Please say yes.

@RogerRoger It's tempting. I'll probably have to put it into storage with all my other goodies but maybe I'll keep it handy for a few weeks first.

@BearsEatBeets
Very cool, looks like a good fit!
