Looks nice. Reminds me of the Red Dwarf model in the Captain’s Office.

[Paul Muller]

Yeah it’s nice, but I think 300 quid is a bit steep.

Also, i’m fairly sure the ‘Red Dwarf’ sign on the far side of the model shouldn’t be sat near the exhaust.

[Paul Muller]

Or should it? I don’t know anything for sure any more.

I’m sure we’ve had a thread talking about the other side of the ship, how we never see it? It coudl well be there, it’s an interesting idea, it;s like a number plate, one at the front, one at the back.

300 quid?! Do me a lemon.

I don’t like it

With anything like this you can never expect to get anywhere near the amount of money to cover time and effort put in.

For a while I built and sold replica Ghostbusters props on eBay, the selling price would usually be just over the cost of materials, but the appreciation of the people buying was always worth the bother.

I think this chap is being a tad unrealistic.

I ask the court who would spoof 300 on such an item? Who? Only a yogurt!

Wayy pricey but I really love the look of it and it’s as it should’ve been produced in my opinion. This has inspired me to attempt my own custom job in future. Looks the bollocks to me (I would omit the second arse-side ‘Red Dwarf’ sign) I bought a corgi starbug model and this is the only reason I would ever have any desire to buy corgi’s remastered-pencil-penis-whatever version only to chop it down and build ontop of.

Respect to the modeller though

It would have been obvious in the title-sequence fly-by if there had been such a sign.

[Danny Stephenson]

Correct me if i’m wrong, but you only ever see the ‘right’ side of the ‘clenched-fist’ ship (if the ship is heading away from you), yeah?

We only ever saw the left side in BTE when the ship was heading ‘home’.

Yeah, that was a major design flaw. If they’d thought of that, Lister wouldn’t have to be constantly touching up the paint job.

sold for £50!

probably a good price (I’d get skelped upside the head spending like that though) but like mike said above money to cover time and effort put in – labour of love kind of thing.

I’ve been contemplating building my own model, around 4′ length wise, mainly as all the larger DIY models I’ve seen about the place look like ass.
