PM sent.

I found a listing for a brand new Borg Ship for $200 if that suits.

If you are refering to the one advertised on the PSPA website....

http://www.pinball.co/Products/4135-03-8996.aspx

.....it has been nil stock for a long time. You only find this out when you try to buy it. The site really sucks in that regard.

I've been looking for a BORG ship for my game for a long time with no luck.

the only other thing I could think of, is that u could spend a few hours making one easily enough out of perspex or balsa wood, then painting it etc.

It would just take a bit of patience, some modelling glue etc, and a borrowed ship to copy.

Waiting for some of the overseas sellers to get stock back in can take years.

Do u think u could make/copy one with balsa wood, or perspex then paint it etc......??  !@#

I'm reasonably handy with my hands, but replicating the borg ship will no doubt end in tears  ^&^  %.%

I did read about someone attempting to reproduce them, but as soon as potential copyright breach was mentioned, nothing more was mentioned aboiut any progress.  Do you have any ideas or links to similar work being done? 

My Borg ship is in ok condition, but has melted in the far left and far right where the flashers have cooked it  ^.^  It seems beyond repair, but a more learned and creative person may be able to restore it.

Hey, could you modify it to make it look like battle damage from a fight, and do something nifty like add a extra light or two and add some orange celephane to that area to make it look like glowing fire etc. Might be an idea to use the melted parts to make it look like real battle damage. Maybe work with the damaged part versus seeing it as a road block ?? just a thought til u get another one....Might look like a great mod ?  !@#
