    The Thunderchild Rule:
    Anybody building a ship named HMS Thunderchild MUST also build an accompanying Martian walker. Walker specs: three legs required (no 1950's floaters), static but an actual walking model is ok, heat rays must light with sound effects, cages with 1:144 scale figurines optional.

    Heck yeah :) Bonus points for a laser powerful enough to shoot holes in balsa.

    The 1:144 scale figurines are automatons made smaller than man-szied to operate within the great ships' machinery spaces...

    Well, normally I'm all about giant robots, but small robots are acceptable.

    Haven't seen one of those little guys in a while. I hope they make a comeback. Giant war clanks are cool and all, but the little ones have a whole different personality.

    "It's not the size of the clank in the fight, but the size of the fight in the clank"....or something like that. Me, I like the jaegermonsters.

    Psh. 'I like Jaegermonsters'. That's like saying 'I like the Minions'. Everybody likes them :)

    So if anyone has a spare Jaeger that needs a home, I've got room in my shed for 2 or 3. Minions, room for 8 or 10. Not sure which group would eat more. All would be fun. Oo! Maybe a mixed squad of 2 Jaegers and 5 minions! Wacky hijinks would ensue!
