NICE!
?299.00!

Its good that it comes pre-built, I couldn't imagine building a model with such detail like that I'd surly muck up somewhere
If anyone else is interested here is a cheaper alternative
http://www.scifimodels.com/spinner.html, it looks pretty small but does include alot of detail.
Enjoy your new Spinner when it comes,

Well the package arrived sooner than expected so that was a nice surprise, in fact there was quite a few surprises. The spinner was supplied in a box that was completely shrouded in moulded polystyrene so was in perfect condition. The Spinner was a lot heavier than i had imagined and the finish amazing. It also come with a polished wooden base and a support that fixes underneath the spinner at a fantastic angle, looks like it's taking off anf turning at the same time. It was quite dear but i feel that it was worth the money.
Anyway assembled the craft and lovingly placed it on the mantlepiece to be the centre of attraction, i then went to the kitchen and took my wife Tracy lovingly by the hand and led her into the study so she could see the new addition, by this time the sunlight was reflecting off the back of the Spinner and looked really good. She said "what a lovely space ship" in the tone of "so what".
She is now buried under the Patio. Women!!!

Did you make the bone marrow test before burial, to check out if she was a rep after all?

With that quality, there is no doubt that such a model could be used by the crew of the live action fan film...
