-===== Build Log =====
-Bought a **pair** of Harkonnen kits to go along with a **single** Atreides kit to go on my display shelf in September. I've been a fan of the Dune series since reading the original trilogy (and most of the prequel series') in my early teens.
-I admit to having a real soft spot to the 80's movie by David Lynch, but the 2021 release directed by Denis Villeneuve is a visual masterpiece. The Ornithopters in particular are especially well designed and form the backdrop of a number of stunning action set-pieces of the film.
-The models are lovely, and very faithful to the designs seen in the film. These are the smaller scale kits (some of the parts are really tiny and the main body of the craft, as can be seen below, builds to only 8-9cm from tip to tail), with them being //also// available in a 1/72 scale with a wingspan of more than //72cm!//. Reddit and other sources seem to put these around the 1/300 scale mark.
-I'm imagining these, when finished, to be displayed alongside the Atreides design, perhaps pursuing the lone Atreides craft down through a desert canyon.
