Sorry but even if I did have a spare £2k sat around, I wouldn't spend it on that!! May look nice, but why!! I'd rather give the money to orphans or something.

That's a lot of money for a replica, even if it is made by a well-known name in the model business... Now if it was the actual original model used in the series, on the other hand...

Then again, for a lot less dosh you can buy the DVDs and see it in action!

Perfectly reasonable asking price...if it's a life-size model.

(hello again peeps)

Hi, Meegat, actually, I haven't been on here for years. I was just passing through yesterday.

That's a standard price for that sort of thing. One of the guys at work builds full size Daleks and he said they start from a Grand upwards.

You want to have a look at the prices charged on ebay for poor builds of off the shelf model kits. Even wrecked models can go for a premium, especially if they're old Frog or Aurora kits that are now totally unobtainable.

If I had a spare £2k (ie lottery win), I'd buy it myself. I'd love a copy of the big studio model.

Yikes, has it been that long?

Sorry.

What can I say, I got a bit distracted by my new yoyo.

I don't think that model's going to sell though. I can think of a ton of things I'd spend two grand on if I had it before I bought a Liberator paperweight.

Like a gold-plated yoyo...

I've one of Kev's System chase ships (he built three) and it has pride of place in the living room.

I'd love a studio scale Scorpio!
