RE: Scratchbuilding "organic" ships

Already did that.

One thing to remember, though: Fishing lures have a VERY low melting
point.
Do NOT leave them in a car on a hot day.

Also, to remove the odor (most are scented), you can soak them for a
couple
of days in soapy water. Does not remove all the smell. But removes most
of
it.

Someone (off list) suggested using 5 minute epoxy on greased, wax paper.
Works great, but is somewhat flat.

Subject: Scratchbuilding "organic" ships

Just a quick note:

If one is trying to scratchbuild a fleet of alien ships with that
icky organic look, do check out your local sporting goods store.
In the fly fishing section is a wide variety of inexpensive
garishly colored fishing lures just about the right size to
mount on a stand.  Some are octopoid, some look fishlike, others
are like tiny crayfish.  Some have rainbow diffraction gratings,
others are neon colored.

Something to think about.
