replaces his mysteriously missing frigates.
It's Christmas at the dollar stores again, so let's see what we can do for cheap!
This is a 'flat' Christmas tree ornament that sells for a dollar.
The tag easily slides off the curly hook.
The hook is easily removed with a hobby knife (the plastic is brittle). This leaves a white-plastic scar, which can be filled in with black marker. I also peeled off some soft glue blobs from the ornament.
The wormhole is open! Can the Monitor block the Free Trader from escaping through the wormhole?
If that's too gaudy for you, flip the ornament over to its less flashy side and accessorize to taste. (It doesn't sit flat when flipped over.)
