[ot] Interplanetary U.F.O. (was :Re: INSS MacArthur?...)

> ***

I still *have* this thing! Carried it around with me everywhere I went,
everywhere I've moved (well, not everyWHERE I've went; just where ever I've
made 'home' home). One of the rear left 'wings' is busted off, the nose cone
has been severely damaged (lost in another box I think I may still have; if I
ever find it, need to reglue it back on), the mounting stand is gone, and it
has collected more dust over the years than I care to think about...but it
still glows!

And the scout ship...the two rear upper 'wings' broke off long ago (um, um,
battle damage, that's it!). But I still have it; it was (and probably still
is) my absolute favorite model of a (small) starship. I used to go to bed with
it as a kid, go under the covers, and play like I was commanding this thing on
space explorations or combat duties (used to bring the large ship under the
covers, too, but stopped doing that after one of the aforementioned rear wings
busted
off :-/ ). It still glows, too.
