As I'm presently building all the required models for a scifi RPG campaign, I had to get my hands on a spacestation. And I didn't want to scratchbuild, as this needs to be done fast. Scale is approximately 1:1000, and I'm using all kinds of stuff, from Epic tanks with wings to Em4 fighters, complete kitbashes and converted cheap snap-fit Star Wars kits. There's even a Battleship Yamato ship on its way here. But now I needed a very large space station, for the PC group to dock (and probably demolish in a session or two...

).
So I found an OOP Perry Rhodan Sol ship on Marktplaats (a local Dutch Ebay-like site), which often has some hidden gems. And boy did it this time!

Even though it regularly goes on Ebay around €50,-, I made a cheeky offer of €15,-, which was promptly accepted! But then he replied that he had some more 'spaceship boxes'. Turned out to be a vintage Lindberg Star Probe station and a ERTL Millennium Falcon! And all three kits were still bagged and in their boxes. I offered €60,- and he went for it, including shipping!

So, now I have two Space Stations (even though the Perry Rhodan one actually is supposed to be an 8km long generation-ship), and a long desired, but never before obtained, YT-1300 in a scale that approximately will work with 28mm figures.
Came in this evening, and my weekend is already a good one...
