Gee, I guess I shoulda known that...

Anyway, you can find tons of such "interesting" things for sale on E-Bay.

I allready tied some thread to my models and will be converting them to wall-hung sculptures soon. Hey, maybe that's the trick to get some modeling contest trophies.

Looks like something I used to do... when I was 7.

Actually it also makes me think of the starship Austin Powers might use. (USS Shagadelic maybe?)

Really wish they'd put more views in. Scary part is the paint job looks excellant, just not what I would call appropriate.

Hate to say it, but I kind of like the variation...not worth that kind of bucks, for sure...but it is a nice break from the bland whites/greys...
LOL about the "ambush scheme"...I wonder if he has any defense for such a bright ship....?
