And in keeping with the "Not just Star Wars" theme I'll be tackling this kit from 1998 - I had a quick look on e-bay and saw one up for sale for about £200 so had the build it/sell it dilemma but building it has won out
So here's a little background info
Adeptus Astartes: The Space Marines
Space Marines are the most powerful and dreaded of all warriors in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Each one of them is superhuman, having been made superior in all respects to a normal man by a harsh regime of genetic modification, psycho-conditioning and rigorous training. Equipped with fearsome bolters and encased in power armour, they are almost unstoppable.
Space Marines are organised into small independent armies called Chapters. There are around a thousand Space Marine Chapters, each one displaying its own heraldry and colour scheme. Tactical squads form the mainstay of each Chapter. Space Marines are versatile fighters, able to fight the enemy in close combat, or stay back and give supporting fire with their heavy weapons.
History
Games Workshop Space Marines were first introduced in Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader by Rick Priestley which was launched in 1987 and was the first edition of the table-top game rulebook. In this first incarnation, the religious themes that appeared in later editions were not as strong. They were described as having bodies and minds that had been toughened by "bio-chem" and "psycho-surgery"; no mention was made of "gene-seed" which would be introduced as the fictional world was developed.
The book Realm of Chaos: The Lost and the Damned (by Rick Priestly and Brian Ansell, 1990) was the first book from Games Workshop to give a backstory for the Space Marines. It introduced the original 20 Space Marine Legions, and the Primarchs (genetic fathers from which the Space Marines were created). It also first described the Horus Heresy, the civil war of the 30th millenium in which nine of the Legions converted to the worship of the four main Chaos Gods.
Two of the original 20 Legions and their respective Primarchs are not named and are described as "redacted" from the records of the Imperium. Rick Priestley explained that this was to illustrate the Imperium's practice of erasing embarrassing or incriminating events and figures from history by removing them from Imperial records. This was a form of dishonour practiced by the ancient Roman empire as Damnatio Memoriae.
The Space Marines and their backstory have continued to evolve to this day and as well as the primary Warhammer 40,000 table-top game they have appeared in numerous other boxed games, novels and video games.
On a personal note I stuck with figure painting even after I drifted away from kit building, and about twenty or so years ago I started painting up a Space Marines Chapter in a Tiger striped colour scheme of my own devising, and after a quick rummage in the garage here they are
This is as far as I got with two tactical squads and a command squad - they're about 28mm tall
I don't know about you but that squad leader for squad two looks like he might have some "Canadian Dentist" in the gene splicing
I think it was while putting this together that I realised that I'd missed actually building kits and I was back on the slippery slope
The Tiger theme carried through to the 75mm Inquisitor figure too
So what's in the box
A leaflet with the info I posted above
And build instructions on the flip side
A certificate of ownership (didn't know that was in there!)
Most of the kit is resin
Which is well detailed and with a choice of heads... that one on the right again... I'll probably end up painting both
And a decal sheet and the rest of the parts... some of which are white metal
My originals were all brush painted with Games Workshop/Citadel paints with weird names like Goblin-Barf Orange and Butt-Crack Black or somesuch but this time around I'll be doing the base coating with an airbrush and breaking out my specially hoarded Unicorn Hair Windsor and Newton brushes for the detail work. The only orange I have in the Model Air collection isn't quite as vibrant as the tones above so I'll be experimenting with yellow primer to see if I can get the result I want.
But it's a thing sadly with resin I've just had a massive seam line on the back of thanos but keep plugging away at it you'll smash it out the park 
) I'd worked out what needed cleaning up; well that's all been done and everything was attached to sticks and other holders before being given a couple of coats of Ultimate white primer to get us started and then laying down three coats of Vallejo Orange. So I ended up with a collection of orange bits on sticks
