SPACEX II CUSTOM: THE MOCK CRASH TENDER

I've done this before in the past so I couldn't resist placing the Imai model tender with a mock-up SpaceX card to give us a Mock Crash Tender. It would make a lovely Easter prezzy!

It could be done a lot better I know, maybe with the blister showing and maybe even a SpaceX II backing card but it'll do for starters. 

If anyone wants to improve on it then feel free and send us a snap.

In the meantime, what do you think of this CUSTOM job?

    2. So refresh my memory. Was the Space-X Crash Tender announced but unreleased? And Bandai came out with a similar toy at some point?

    3. Yep Zigg, the SopaceX II Crash Tender was advertised but none have ever been seen. Imai included their tender as a pod vehicle. Whether the Frank Bellamy artwork in TV21 was the inspiration for both is hard to say but it seems likely Bellamy was the source for the Spacex vehicle. Paul V's website covers the crash tender http://www.triangspacextoys.info/SpGAtoys/CrTn/SpLTCrTn.html
