Dirk's Papercraft Star Trek Travelpod from "The Motion Pictu

From Apollo and Soyuz, to Gerry Anderson, Irwin Allen, Star Wars and Trek to Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica and those strange, doe-eyed Japanese school girls...to any model kits you can think of, that only exists in imagination.

That's correct. I've inquired all four car kits from the Mad Max movies (Big Bopper's Cruiser, Max's first Interceptor, The pristine V8 Interceptor and the V8 Interceptor as seen in the Road Warrior) and will be starting with the Big Bopper's cruiser

Another kit have and am thinking of building is "NOMAD" from the Original Star Trek series second season episode "The Changeling"

I have built one a Borg cube, but that doesn’t count, but I have attempted a Viking long ship…with mixed results, look at my work page and judge for your self!!!!!
