I just discovered this new version of an Astronaut with MMU from Fame Master 4D Puzzles. It is 1:20 scale, so it is half the size of Bandai's EMU model kit but it is offered at only 870 yen (that is $11.30), which I think is rather cheap.

The Astronaut with MMU is one of the new sets under Fame Master's 4D Puzzle Space Series, which previously released a Lunar Rover with Astronaut. Their other new toy puzzles are: Fame Master lists as coming soon: |

The EMU and MMU looks nice for the price. And its scale looks pretty decent as well for super detailing without going broke financially.As for the other items, I shall have to get my paws on the X-37. The scale is a bit oddball (1/50), but it is close enough to 1/48 and giving it the full model treatment should yield a stunning looking display piece. The fact that they included an open payload section I find interesting, given that part of the real X-37B is still classified. |

Has anyone purchased the X-37 OTV model? If so, where did you buy it? Thanks! |

Can anyone tell me where I can purchase these new Fame Master 4D models in the US? I am looking for the Astronaut with MMU and the Space Shuttle on Launch Pad. |

I finally received an email from the company and was told the X-37 Spaceplane won't be available until September. |

Seems to be a nice model of the ISS, though I would have prefered a larger scale for myself. The price seems right too, would make a perfect educational tool and easy to carry around. |

1:450? Be careful not to inhale any modules. |

I like.  A 1:200 or 1:250 would be a nice scale for an ISS. |

At 1/250, an ISS begins to get a little unweildy. I admit 1/450 is small, but it should be almost double the size of the 1/700 ISS Takara did a few years back. The 1/450 shuttle on the pad looks pretty cool to my eye as it looks like the MLP might be of close to correct proportion anyway. Looks like both it and the ISS are using the same shuttle orbiter originally created for the 747 SCA puzzle (which was a fun build when I did one in 2010). |

What is with the Russian science module/Power-Tower always being included in these ISS models? I can understand this for the models that came out years before the ISS was complete, but good grief; that module was cancelled several years ago, and the ISS has been essentially finished for over a year now. Don't they consult with someone as opposed to just looking at an artist's impression from years ago? |

I just picked up an ISS one and I look forward to asking someone to build it for me. I would like it done right. So when it gets built I will let people know how it looks. |

These are very nice toy puzzles, not model kits, designed for kids to be able to snap them together. All the parts are pre-painted. You should be able to assemble it yourself... |

I would have liked an ISS, but $35 postage to the UK is prohibitive in my opinion. |
