Smashing.

I know it would be quite big, but will some of these items ever make it to the 15mm range?

The control tower and the docking bay specifically.

Possibly – I did some sums on the master and mould costs of the control tower a while back and it was quite scary, so I'd have to be sure we were going to sell enough of them to make it worthwhile. I'll have to revisit my spreadsheet and see how viable they are.

My suggestion – for what it's worth Tony – is you change the designs slightly.

Make the tower part of the control tower modular and non-tapering so you only have to master one section and then cast it a few times then stick thse together to make a new – taller – master. Then add the bit on top.

Alternaively, just sell the tower sections as is and folks can buy them in mutiples to make the towers as tall – or as short – as they like.

But I'm probably teaching you how to suck eggs here… :)

Is that Docking Bay 94? Any Stormtroopers at the door?

From the picture I thought this was an AB creation. Very nice.

Where can I get a 6mm Falcon?

If you have a look at our blog you'll find that the Revell Snaptite kit fits (albeit snugly) in the docking bay…

The F Toys Falcon is officially 1/350, so I think that's close enough to 6mm for government work :-)

Could be used for VSF on Mars or Venus.
