Whoosh!!

That wouldn't have happened to been the Herb Deeks custom resin models catalouge now, would it? He produces a series of "Models from the Futures Past," Like those fancy "Buck Rogers" style rocketships.

It wasn't, actually - but thanks for dropping that name! Google only turns up a sparse set of results for him, though - any idea where I can find more info on these model kits, preferably a catalogue with pictures?

It appears that the Herb Deeks "Futures Past" series of rocketship model kits has been out of production foe awhile now. I found this site, http://www.swapsale.com/models12.htm which has some dandy colour pictures of the built up kits. I'm not sure if they're still for sale though. Also, look up monstersinmotion.com which is another California company that specializes in Science Fiction related "Garage" model kits. Happy Hunting.

oh awsomeness

Very nice, Kodyax has a story related to this if you would like to peruse: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5111279
