I saw it, but was running through the area to get back to my table. No photos on my part. Very impressive, but not suitable for most homes as the wingspan alone was at least 3, maybe 4 feet.

Re: Any pics of the Studio Scale Bird of Prey?
Wonkin' huge, with at least a 3 to 4 foot wingspan, full illumination, a stand that was probably a 1.5-inch pipe, and a fully illuminated bridge display board. I didn't ask the price, because I am guessing it was in the "Several thousands of dollars" range.
I would have gotten a photo, but I was more interested in tracking down Mike Salzo (who was at the Nice-N Models table with the KBoP from time to time) so I could collect my 1:2000 Galactica kit from him.
The link to their Facebook page below includes a photo of someone standing behind the Bird of Prey. That'll give you an idea of the size of this beast.

Even I have my limits when it comes to models.
There are Times, Sir, when men of good Conscience cannot blindly follow orders. You acknowledge their sentience, but ignore their personal liberties and freedoms. Order a man to hand over his child to the state? Not while I"m captain.

Re: Any pics of the Studio Scale Bird of Prey?
Well thanks anyways and just wanted to let you know that I've found what I was looking for in case others are interested:

I'm with you guys about the size of the thing but then again it's not easy to find an accurate model of the BoP in other scales. The WARP 1:200 looks very interesting and would be my preferred size but it does seem to be out of production and not available anywhere.
Well, maybe I can find a fire sale for a completed build somewhere down the line.
Fingers crossed!

Re: Any pics of the Studio Scale Bird of Prey?
My understanding after talking with the guys at the table is that this is NOT a model kit, but is a custom-made, professionally-built, studio scale replica. It comes to you fully finished, which explains the price tag.
Also, there are only five being offered, and two are already spoken for. I read that on one of the websites, but I can't remember which one.
