The under wing details can now be installed but they are too deep for moulding purposes so I am putting in a back plate as can be seen in the right one.

Both are done

Things are better in the Verse again. So it appears that the legal actions against 11th has been resolved in her favour. Good for now but it has shaken people. Even those not served with a C&D have shut down. So inadvertently Universal has still shot themselves in the foot as the loads of free advertising they had before is mostly gone. Even those on the fringe have started to remove things related to the movie for fear of being sued. I am sure quite a few of you have noticed that I have renamed my model. If people have not found my web page yet they will not be able to find it with a search. So anyone that has an interest in what I am doing will not be able to find my site.

I will keep my message about what Universal did on my main page for now. What they put 11th through was not right.

There is someone new that has licensing to make props and stuff for a certain movie. They have release money and a replica of a certain captain's gun. They also said they will have a large scale model of a ship from a certain movie. Preorders will start in the spring of 2007. There is some backlash from the fans of the movie against those that do have legitimate licenses. We shall see if it will affect them in the long run or not.
