Re: FT without breaking a tiny piggy bank...

I know a guy who literally got spaceships out of a
gumball machine, painted those up and, except for the
weight, could not tell the difference from the lead
minis.	He then acquired plastic spaceships from a
garage sale and then the party supply section of
Walmart for cheap and painted those up as well. 
Lastly, he has a fleet of "organic" ships made from
shells from the sea shore!!
