Now tommorow the boss shows up so im gonna see if I can cut a deal for all of them cause he will not get rid of them. If not Im just gonna buy the station & call it a victory.

    Sure anything specifically? I was looking for a Panzer VI Tiger & they had nothing a couple modern tanks & just small scale 1:72. BTW Ill take a pic of the place itself & give an address so next time Morden is in town or one of yall you can go in yourselves. Thats if I dont buy out his stock. :)

    it's easy but i did't find the time to finished it;)

    If you aren't a super-anal modeler, you can slap it together in a weekend. If you really care, well most of the time will be spent on painting. I recommend going on [url]www.starshipmodeler.com[/url] and finding the decal set they have there. You print it out on blank decal paper, and it has some areas the kit decals don't cover.

    If I get my hands on one I'll just spray it black and dry-brush it in gold with a large brush. tHat way it'll look like a trophy or ornament. Say, didn't Sheridan have one like that in his office?

    Well I can't but my mom possibly can since she lives here. I live near Sanfam in Nassua County, NY.

    Yep. It was originally built and painted up like the station, and was in the store in There All Honor Lies, and then the model was bronzed (or, if you're a wishful thinker, golded) and put into the Captian's office.
  • Vertigo1Vertigo1 Official Fuzzy Dice of FirstOnes.com
    Damn! I wish the local stores here would have stuff other than model cars and the occasional plane. They used to carry a shitload of trek models....which is how I got the ammount I have already.
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    *wants both of those models* Too bad I live far from London

  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    Is there a chance you could get the contact info for that shop?

    Perhaps I could get a FirstOnes deal going :-)
    This is a win-win situation for the store owner. An entire stock is awaiting liquidation :D
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    Good idea Sanfam!

    Hmm, I know it's a favour to ask, but if it's ok with your mum, I'd really like to work a deal out for a Starfury. (I'd send cash if you'd prefer.)

    Soon as she calls Ill tell her what you want. I believe it was something like 25-30 pounds for the starfury i remember that the station costed the same. If I don't here from her soon I will email her so she gets the message. Now I guess you have to figure out what the shipping & handling would be. She lives non to far from the shop. Ill also get an address for you Sanfam its too bad I couldnt get in touch with the boss would hate to see that all go to waste.
  • Morden279Morden279 Genius
    £20-£30? Frankly, I thought they'd cost less than that.

    Didn't you say you thought you'd be able to get a good deal off the chap? If you lower the price a bit, then sure, I'll have a Starfury, if it's not too much trouble. :)

    Regards,
    Morden
  • The Cabl3 GuyThe Cabl3 Guy Elite Ranger
    i thought perhaps i might get all of them for about 200 pounds but the boss was not around. I never said the price though I dont think he would sell an individual one for any less & im not there to deal with the guy, only mom can do that now.
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    25-30 pounds?!?!?! No wonder they have not sold. :D

    I got three starfury kits for $7.50 each, and that was ages ago.
  • wiseguywiseguy Playa
    been ages that i bought and assembled my starfury and b5 station. here are a few shots of my presidential escort starfury:

    i'm far from being a master modeller and i never finished some of the detailed stuff on it... maybe someday... :rolleyes:
  • samuelksamuelk The Unstoppable Mr. 'K'
    I have 5 or 6 of the Starfury kits. Bought them all on eBay for about $25 total.
