Model Ship Interest?
Anyone have a couple hundred bucks and a hankerin’ for a model Brimia? A friend recently introduced me to Randy Cooper, an amazing model maker who occasionally does custom projects. He’s interested in making a limited model run of the Khoruysa Brimia, Roka’s smuggler ship in Runners. Naturally, I would LOVE for this to happen, because (a) it would be cool as hell to have a finished model of my ship design, and (b) I could actually use it for reference in drawing the ship from different angles. 🙂
But is anyone else interested? The process is labor-intensive for Randy, so he’d have to have significant interest before taking it on. He’d be scratch-building a master, from which he’d create molds to produce sets that buyers could then assemble and paint. According to him, a 12”-14″ model set would cost around $200-250 to buy, and he would need at least 20 people interested.

If you think you might be interested in buying a limited $200-250 model of the Khoruysa Brimia, just let me know by posting your comment in this thread. Thanks!
I guess I should be the first to say YES, I would be very interested in seeing a model Khoruysa Brimia model made! And of course willing to pay the $200-250 to buy it.
Interested? Yes. Can afford? No. (Although I do have a birthday in July. 😀 )
Absolutely!
I’m too poor & too stingy with my space, but I hope there’s enough interest for you to get one!
Judging from the website I think Mr. Cooper will do an awesome job on the Khoruysa Brimia.
While I would love to add the ship to my comic related collection I’m a bit concerned about damage to such an expensive item.
Can you tell us a bit more about the materials being used and the durability of the model?
And since I live in Europe, how high would the shipping costs be?
Sorry for the delay in reply. I figure since there really isn’t enough interest at the moment to get the model made anyway, I probably won’t bother asking Randy for info on the durability or shipping. Hopefully, sometime further down the road, I can revisit the possibility of doing a model. And at that point, I’ll look into all those questions.
