Spray paint some old badly-moulded Micro Machines silver and glue them to a clock = Star Trek collectible??

Did someone bend the nacelles on the Excelsior class ship, or are they trying to make it like the new movie ship?

@Matthew Weflen:
They're _supposed_ to be molded straight, but the thin parts had a tendancy to be twisted or warped, likely due to insufficient pre-ejection cooling times. So, the X-Wing guns pointed in odd directions, and Starfleet ships with long nacelles looked like they were flown out of spacedock by a blind chimpanzee.

I'd forgotten that they made the Star Trek ships in pewter-tone finish, but I sure do remember that the older Starfleet vessels generally had severe cases of nacelle-twist.

@XxL3THALxX:
The only ships these clocks feature are the ones that were released in pewter-tone box sets. They made a fairly extensive array of Star Trek Micro Machines, but I don't think more than half of them got the pewter paintjob, and I'm almost certain they did not include the Defiant (though it was released with the standard TV-style deco).

I'd think the expense would be in acquiring Micromachines. They've been out of print for some time.

not worth $109. At most $50. I can make one for $20. Anyone want to pay me $20 bucks to make one for them? Yeesh.

@MosesMonster: Yeah, I got that clock (without the cheap figures of course) at Target for $10. I mean, I'm all for capitalism, but with art it always felt like a con artist's game.

Why would I want a dirty Ferengi ship on my wall?

Is it just me, or does the 5 look a lot like Boba Fett's Slave I?

@Grey_Area:
It is (Galor class), and the regular version was painted a kind of mustardy yellow with a few bits (like the forked tail) done in a brownish tan.
