	I've still got the fragments of my ship.
	It was wired with peanut lights in the clear red plastic
	"engines".  They glowed evilly in their cases when the
	power was on.

	On a related note, it is fairly obvious to me that
	the stricken ship in Jerry Pournelle's short story
	"Tinker" is the plastic model called the
	Pilgrim Observer.

	There are a couple of these up for bids on EBay,
	they come up fairly often.
