Very rare: Tsukuda model, Klingon Bird of Prey

Post by seanrobertson »

Hiya.

I seriously doubt anyone will bite, here, but I want to ask:

Have you ever heard of a company called Tsukuda Hobbies of Japan, Inc.?

Second, do you have their Klingon Bird of Prey model, released shortly after Star Trek VI?

I have such a model, but I am looking for others. I'm thinking there's a very off chance that someone posting here might've gotten one on a whim.

Thanks,
Sean

I did not think so :)

When Martyn Griffiths, himself a world-class modeler and also a consultant for Babtech, had only seen one such model, I knew this would probably be a waste of space.

Sorry for that, guys and gals--but I had to try! :)

Maybe someone has "contacts" that can "arrange" a copy to be made for you.

Entirely possible. I shouldn't whine too much, since I've already got one, but like Homer Simpson said, it's like a beer...one isn't enough, and you'd step over your own mother to get another!

Well, okay, it's not that great. But it's pretty cool. I actually knew a guy who was going to cast the kit in resin, but he never wrote me back after a certain point. Peckerhead.
