So my Horus finally arrived. They needed two delivery guys to bring it in.

I had to pay $360 in customs taxed, which is thankfully only about half what I was expecting to pay. I did a rough calculation and all up Horus has cost me $3750AUD. I'm telling myself this is a once in a lifetime piece and there are only 40 in the world to try and take the sting off a little! I won't be able to assemble it yet because I need to move it to storage, but I'm still looking forward to opening and inspecting the boxes to get a look at this beauty.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Indeed, pics and a video review at some point. Congrats, Sisko! It'll look great with Anubis.


Unfortunatly, I had to let my order go. Too many other expenses cropped up at the time that I needed the money for.

I was really sleepy when I put this guy together. I think I didn't do as good of a job on this as I did on Anubis. I can see one screw sticking out. Sloppy on my part. :/

I had to try a couple of times putting him in the stand before I finally got it. Really is hard to do. So heavy.
Nice Video! Nice Collection lots of pieces! Soon as i saw Anubis was thinking man that would look sweet on the other side of the TV. But that is your doorway gah! Looks Great!

Sorry to hear you had to let your order go Viper. But real life priorities have to come first.

Where's your video on this Sisko?

Thanks House.

I may have to let my Thanos EX go for the same reasons Viper so I feel your pain.

I need someone to help me unpack the giant boxes. You're a wonder woman for doing it yourself! I won't be able to do a proper video because I'm not assembling it, but I would like to give people a look at the paintwork under some natural light.

Thanks Fremen. Sorry to read you may have to let Thanos go. That's a really great piece. Sometime we have to make tough decisions in this hobby for many reasons but hopefully you will be able to keep him.
