Now, with FlisKits I offer the Micro to the MAXX Intergalactic Man of Space Great little kit

I never had the original, but I have the IMOS. Gotta get more of them, so that I can do the whole Austin Powers cast.

I haven't figured out how I'll model Mr. Bigglesworth yet, though.

...or the Mojo...

I have cloned one and modified one. The one one the right is my friends. They fly great. Semroc has the nosecone., the rest is easy.

Mine are Octo Pete from space and Kirk.

I also have the inter galactic Man of Space. A great kit, love his face.

BMS also sells the Spaceman nose cone. IIRC it was one of the first nose cones he had in the assortment pack back at NARAM-35.

Bob,

That must be a limited edition!

I guess with this rocket it would be a head cone not a nose cone.
