    Yes! It's one of the old Battler's Connection I-400 hulls! Bought in a bazaar in Istanbul for a king's ransom from a one-eyed arab named Phil!

    That's it, split in it's halves (top and bottom). It has a lot more room than I expected, although my opinion will likely change as I add systems. The LOTR:BFME II disc is there for scale.

    For those waiting for things, I am not allowing myself to play with it until I get Carl's package mailed, and the 1/96 Yammer turrets done. Or HMAS Australia. It's kind of a "motivation hull" for me. I had a chance to get it for $60, and couldn't let it go.

    Wow, that is one sweet hull. Interesting how it's split top and bottom. Do you plan to stick with the original I-400 superstructure, lopsided hangar and all, or will you try to do the hangarless I-402 super?

    Either way, I hope it serves as good motivation :)

    Not sure, but since it'll be a while before I get to that part, I have time to think on it.
