RE: Ship minis.... from old movies and TV

With all this talk of old mini's, I decided to have a dig around the
back room & found a box of....
original StarBlazers ships.  An entire fleet of them.  Still on the
plastic sprues.
Unfortunately, they currently belong to my housemate, so I'm going to
have to _acquire_ them before I can assemble & paint them; and no, you
can't have them!

actually (Corgi?) toys of them... <<

_It_, actually -- they only made the one model, of the Liberator 
(naturally), in the "Corgi Junior" range. Not too bad, except for all 
the text moulded into the main hull -- "Corgi", copyright info, etc. -- 
which is not easily removable. The weapons pylons aren't right -- too 
thick, with heavy reinforcement, but accurate ones probably would have 
bent too easily -- but overall, it looks okay and is a good size for 
gaming, and isn't too hard to drill a stand hole into.
