Very, very cool.  (most of my GZG ships (Sorry, Jon, so far via Ebay but
I intend to buy more direct in the future) are NAC with a few ESU - all
except for a blister of Vandenbergs are "light" units.)  Started with
some second hand Star Blazer ships and built beads designs.  Use those
SB
ships mostly for the "Gray bordering on Black" hat People's Holy
Republic
fighting the "Very light Gray" Native People's Circle and the "Slightly
less light Gray" League of Latino People forces.  Bead ships are
semi-retired currently (but there are plans...)  Must mention Brigade
star ships - have a very few of those but they are also slated to grow
the LLP fleet because I thing they have good designs that reflect the
common origin of the NAC sponsored NPC/LLP shipyards.

Between Brigade for Spaceships for FT and VSF and GZG for DS 2 and FT
(Stargrunt stuff is Very, very small (hardly even two sides worth for a 
_small_  scenario if you don't count the "Mice in Space" figures) and
not
slated to grow much in foreseeable future) I pretty much have become a
two source person for SF games.

But then I guess my sig block says it all...

Hx, SF, and Fx: 6 mm figures, Starships and 1:6K "Wet Navy" warships 
are my main interest.

Gracias,
Glenn
