Strange that GZG didn't model the Sa'Vasku ships from the concept drawing in
More Thrust. Maybe they were worried about legal action by the makers of
Flesh Gordon? :-)

> Regarding Sa'vasku clones The Sa'vasku ships shown in MT are not drawings - they are models, with the photo given various treatments in Photoshop! They are a couple of "bioships" sculpted by a friend of mine, Jim Langer, who was at the time going to put them into production (as "Mercury Miniatures", mentioned in the MT model review section). However, in the end Jim, not being the most commercially-motivated person I know... :), changed his mind and has never marketed the ships - a real shame, 'cos they're nice. Our "new" Sa'vasku are sculpted by Dave Garnham, and in a very different style - somewhat inspired by starfish, apparently!
