Or maybe it will...
Currently working on a 1/1000 scale Scout/Courier
No need for "rights"
Just make a model of that "size" and call it something else.

I figure 1.56 inches long.
Landing gear or not?

It's always best to clear it with Marc.

Re landing gear what about this...
...ship alone, landing gear retracted, aka flight mode, with standard base hole for stand.
...also available, landing gear base showing the landing gear down and a patch of ground (hex? textured? Imperial Starburst?) to which the ship may be set on (or for permanent display glued to).
...optionally, also available, flight mode stand (instead of using the usual stands) with arm (something flashy?) and base (hex? Imperial Starburst?)
If you can picture what I'm thinking of from that. Maybe I'll mock up some examples later.

No LG, but have a standard stand-pin-hole.

How big is the standard hole?

Not official, just my measure of one I have here, looks like 2mm diameter and about 3mm deep.
I wouldn't mind getting one with landing gear and one without.

I've not seen them yet, so caveat emptor!

Looks Good.
Is the hole in the centre of mass, or is the plastic such that it won't matter?

Hmm, 3 cents cheaper with hole...
...make more holes in it!
Just kidding. Looks good, I might have to take the plunge and snag one for closer examination.

Hmmm, snag. Went to pull the trigger on the credit card and find the minimum order is $25...
Order 6? Find something else? Hmmm...
...wait for Andrew to raise the price?

Yeah, that is a PITA. Shipping is free, though.

I'm actually pondering whipping something up myself to try it out to pad the order
I did notice that, included in the prices, which is pretty cool. You can't be marking that Type S up very much

Btw, I had planned on painting one of my old scout minis this weekend... now I want to buy this and paint it instead. Looks really nice!

Everyone, please don't upload any canon designs (or names) without checking with Marc first! I have special permission for this.
Obviously, your own designs are fine.

I'm not making a penny. These are prototypes, and I've not seen the finished models yet - they may look crap!
