Didn't even know this was a possibility. Still, for lurkers, the reason
the Gamescience spaceship stands have the fore-aft-port-stbd markings on

The ST minis are still available from Gamescience. I wouldn't go for the
latest TFG Starline stuff, it's not even remotely as good as their
previous efforts.
