I understand that having a recast hurts the hobby BUT it also hurts the hobby when there is not enough kits to go around and only a select few have access to them.Maybe there would not be a problem with those who recast if there was a supply and demand cause there are alot more people who love Predator then just yourself and a few others.Nuff Said. :0)
I see.So how would someone get a direct Narin release?How could I get one of Narins kits?I do understand it hurts the hobby by getting a recast but at the same time what if someone wants the kit and it's no longer produced or on the market?See where I'm getting at?What would you recommend?I mean,really.Does it make any sense to just produce a limited release when you have alot of folks who want it?That's the one thing I never understood about certain releases.
Question?Are you saying that all the Narin Predator kits on ebay are all recast?What color would a narin predator recast look like?I'm told that he sculpts these kits and sends them off to a producer to be recasted for them to sell it.Where did you purchase your kits from?The sellers I know live in Thailand and is that where Narin is from?
@silverado2004 Pretty much every kit you see on eBay is a recast, especially if it's from Thailand. Narin does not sell on eBay. Also, the company that originally produced all of Narin's non-direct releases closed down, so they are no longer produced. So all you see are recasts now. All of Narin's non directs were comissioned pieces by myself and a couple other guys but we all went through the same facility and it's out of business. Now Narin only sells direct releases.
I dont get whats wrong with recasts, at the end of the day they look identical to what thier racasted off, you build, paint and own a model for its looks, not for its chemical composition or if it has a word on it saying "official" or not.
@dEsSiCaTa Because you are ripping off the artist.. it costs a fortune in time and materials to develop and complete a sculpt, then you have some assclown just rip it off and recast for $50 in materials. It's a disgusting practise... also if you're in to the looks, each generation of a recast loses details from the original, plus the crappy material used on a recast is often hard as nails and difficult to work with... Don't support recasts, EVER.
Whats the difference between the original and a recast? is it the quality or is it just the fact that it is not the original. If its just that the kit is not original but it has the same quality then i would buy it off of ebay. But can some answer my question?
Dan just love these kits ive just bought the urban hunter Predator 2 Maquette by Narin it comes with a certificate signed by Narin and yourself,.i,ll upload a vid once recieved,.hope its not a fake =(
this guy had some amzing stuff for sale so it could be ok =))
