Spaceship design is _incredibly_ subjective. Some of the models I make
don't always look quite right to me when they're finished, but assuming
that they're up to quality in terms of finish they will get released on
the grounds that even if I don't like them, someone will. Models I don't
like at all sometimes sell in numbers, others I think are really cool
don't shift at ell. C'est la vie !

If I _really_ don't like the look of a model then it won't get finished
- it'll end up in the bin long before I waste time detailing it.

Don't hold your breath. I have a big backlog of unmade designs of all
sorts.

Almost ;-)

We don't do a specific "Wings'n'Things" pack, but all of the individual
bits of all of our models can be bought separately (and we don't charge
a premium for this either - the individual parts of the model add up to
the selling price of the whole thing). At the moment I haven't been able
to get all of this information onto the website, it's a monumental task
to get all of the parts priced up for everything we make so I'm working
my way through slowly at the moment.
