Who else would buy die cast ships for display from the frontier store?

AIRFIX - oh yes, I can hear my wife's sighs from here...

Still, I would buy them all and keep them in my bedsit after the divorce.

I didn't want to mention that as girlfriends and wives will already be collecting information on you just playing ED for hours! The basic math formula is that whatever you buy spend three times more on that woman you love and smile while you are doing it! Then maybe you won't have to meet her divorce lawyer. No guarantees...
 
I'd go for a mobile version that I can hang in my play room above my desk! I could just look up to see my ED ships doing their thing! :p The individual models would need to be at least 6 inches long I think, so reasonably large and detailed. Maybe 4 or 5 ships per mobile, all to scale of course! :D
 
I'd certainly buy plastic kits of the ships however as mentioned choosing a suitable scale would be difficult due to the ship size range, I made a start on a scratch built Cobra 3 a while back based on card models (about 1/200 scale) still haven't finished it :(

They have been getting them, I've seen several posts that they've received their ships in (what looks to be) glass cases, along with photographs in the threads.
 
I normally balk at this sort of thing....but I would so pay for a model of a Cobra MkIII

Not Airfix though....I'm rubbish at putting them together, it would end up looking like it's chewed by dog.

Maybe a die cast for those that can't DIY and an Airfix version for those that can :)
 
While i would buy them i would much prefer a DIY model kit. I have a few from Star Trek already over the years. A model 1701A a 1701D and a marqui fighter. I did bought the Reliant once but it came with the wrong parts
 
No thanks. It'd just be more clutter.

...phew, that distracted wifey, YES dammit YES... ...oh-oh she's coming back...

So thanks for the idea.
 
Someone did have an official licence for 3D printed models. The company went bust.

Still working on my Minitures Game though. Hopefully might have news sometime in May.
