By my "nick" i'm assuming this is Auzzie slang for my nickname, or user name correct?
Its not Austin Powers related.

Thanks Evilpet (nice avitar). I have three of those God-awful kits ( one of which you see being butchered one my thread. I should have been clearer...I am looking forward to getting Cygnus in 1/700 scale when PrimitiveDave and Nwerke success fully kill off this engineer's nightmare. Thanks for the headsup on the Narn cruiser, But I am firmly wedged into all things Cygnus. (a resin kit...I am resin kits worst nightmare...Arvey models thread comming soon). I'll check into it ...before I get back into Yamato mode.

I would have like to have seen a nice model of the Babylon 5 station. Not the small version that came out.

Well I'm gonna tackle the studio scale liberator after the narc and turbo laser. I need a huge Plastruct shopping list for that one though. Just about the whole thing is Plastruct bits.
I just thought of a couple of new models that I'd love to see made into kits...
The Spider Robot, Tank, and the Loveless in Wheelchair from the Will Smith version of Wild Wild West... I really loved the look of that big spider bot!
How about the Dr. Evil Submarine from Austin Powers, or even the satellite... that would be cool!

This has probably been suggested before, but I want a company like Revell to start producing the ships from the Alien films: especially Prometheus, Nostromo, and the Betty, in plastic at a decent size and price.
I'm actually surprised it hasn't happened already: it's not exactly niche subject matter by SF standards. A new Aliens videogame was released just recently. These kits would sell.

Are you referring to the Blakes 7 Liberator? That's a build I would definitely watch. If you have a definite list of parts used for the Liberator, I'd love to see it.
As for ships I'd love to see, I' d say most of the Babylon 5 stuff - the B5 Station and star fury were my least fave designs, and those are the kits they made. Sigh.
I'd love a proper sized Minbari war cruiser, just for the challenge of painting that sucker. The Narn cruiser also rocks.
B5 had some great ships, and ( except for the Earth stuff) they stayed away from that "institutional grey" that plagues so many space ship designs. B5 ships always looked so distinctive. purple Centari vessels, blue minbari ships, green and rust narn ships, yellow with blue trim Vorlon stuff. Great visual designs.
The Suliban Cell ship from Enterprise.

Wait for it...allegedly Round 2 is starting with the Sulaco in 1/1000 scale.

Airfix did produce two--"Welcome Aboard" with the TARDIS and figures of the tenth Doctor (David Tennant) and Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman), and a "Daleks in Manhattan" diorama--but they were apparently limited releases and are getting harder to find for reasonable prices, and so far Airfix hasn't produced any others.

For a change, I had one of those "right place at the right time" moments a couple of years ago. I was perusing evilBay and a young woman was selling one for a couple of dollars less than what the kit originally sold for (including shipping from the U.K. to the U.S.). She had received it as a gift, and didn't want it after she opened it and found out it had to be assembled and painted. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have one either.
