Dave Williams Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 The Aztek Dummy template set is $50. You get four 8 1/2 x 11" sheets of precut vinyl templates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spaced Marine Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I'll eventually snag those templates. My big question is: where do I get the light kit? And for the NX-01? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 If you're wondering about light kits, you need to visit starshipmodeler.com You'll be shocked at the price, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
