Does he want any? I think I've got maybe a half dozen or so... not
really
looking to use 'em, though I *love* the rest of the line!

Hmm... any other ships? <grin> (Actually, I should really finish
painting
the ships I got from Jim Bell at the GZG ECC for all those Sathar/UPF
ships
first, but you can never have too many minis, right? ^_^;;; (This from
a
guy who just bought out a fair bit of Dram Pod 9's excess Northern minis
left over from RAFM....))
On the flip side, I should be able to run a pretty nice Space
Fleet-style
scenario at the next GZG ECC. ^_^ And maybe I'll dust off my Epic minis
for a DS II game... though I really gotta play that some more.
