Great little set... at 32 USD it is about three times the price of the PE set bundled with the original kit, but has a LOT more goodies... seems to me (Im a newbie!) that this set is worth the extra $$, unless you have a bunch of leftover 1:350 AMs for stuff like the airtight doors??
pays to be behind the buy curve I guess....

a 350 scale Humphrey Bogart ??!!! My all time favorite actor. I might just go out and buy the ship kit and PE set just for that alone. Is the figure PE or resin?

Ahoy Mates,
Having gotten the kit and both sets of PE, now looking at Lorens' offering, I think I will have to cough up the bucks. I do like what he does as far as the level of details that can be upgraded and it would appear that he has a lot more in his one set than both of the Dragon sets combined. Besides, any left over bits can be used on other builds later on down the line. The railings with the Dragon sets and the other bits from GMM's set looks like a workable idea. Is there any such thing as too much PE?

Very cool set. The figure is a nice touch.
