Neat! Wish I had room for more shelves... :-( What's the blue ship on the left, with the number 5 and the swan neck? Reminds me of Firefly's Serenity, is that ship its inspiration?
That ship is the Hooded Swan, the symbol is an S. It is based on the cover art of the Brian Stableford novels. The art was by Angus Mckie. They were 1970s books so predate Firefly by quite a bit but there is a similarity.
Wow Kevin, youll need a new house rather than a cabinet at this rate! Id love to be able to display my collections, but the man cave isnt big enough to swing a cybermat around at the moment. Bill
Tried to move house but property market was insane. Gave up and decided to stay. Revamped conservatory as one display area and redid my second bedroom one. Still got some expansion room.

DeletePronoun trouble. That's what I meant. I was wondering who designed Serenity and if that ship (Hooded Swan, thank you) had been cited as an influence.
DeleteGood question that. I don't know the answer sadly.
DeleteGreat display Kev. Good to see your new Sub has a home too.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I think the sub was the decider!
DeleteLovely display!
ReplyDeleteThanks, much appreciated.
DeleteFabulous cabinet Kev.
ReplyDeleteAre they your own builds ?
Thanks. Yep, they are all scratchbuilds, except for the Comet Miniatures Liberator kit hiding down the bottom.
