The Final Fantasy Airship was available as a small plastic pre-painted click together kit but that pic looks like the VERY expensive pewter collectors model. Excellent piccies BTW!

Yeah I seem to remember that he does or has posted there but I can't remember his name either. I have other pictures from ARC of a v tailed shuttle by a guy in Brazil but they are to small to show here. I have no idea what I did but they are barely visable.

I found this, a "Solar Galleon" inspired by the ship in the animated film Treasure Planet:

thanks Chris,
So, they are action figures.  Looks like they have all the posable parts so would take a little putty and repaint to enter.

Still, great prices on them.

Anyone else look at this and think it could be turned into a really cool looking space ship?  If you glance at it without reading what it is, its pretty close already I think.

These were sent to me years ago by an Italian modeler who, for some reason, I cannot find his name and that is a shame.

This one has won several major shows for him.  Pretty sure you can see why.












Just for perspective, this is the only kit item.  It is the small, snap together ship that is about 1 and 1/2 inches long.
