I posted this on the other board and I'll ask here too. Has anyone seen the token of the shuttle in the Star Trek Monopoly game? It is pewter and has some markings that I think make it the Galileo 7. The photo on the box was dark. Could it be used as a master after the markings are removed? I don't think it could be bought by itself as the mold ,most likely, makes all the tokens for the game at the same time.

Technologically, it could be used as a master.

Legally, it could not be used as a master without Paramount approval. (Which they are not going to give to ADB.)

SVC,

Thank you for your quick answer. I was pretty sure that would be the case.

Even so, does anyone have one? I would still like to know how it looks and how big it is.

got the game so I could have at least one shuttle for my fleet. But alas it came with two Vulcan Harps instead. For the record. (*(%^%$#^%$*) Mad

That sucks, M. I have been looking too. I wonder if we can find a site that sells replacement parts and order a bunch of them. Is the game new?

Depending on how much you dropped for the Monopoly set, these turn up on evilBay fairly frequently and the price might work out even.

I love SFB/FC, djdood. But not that much.

Me too.

If it comes down to it, I'll just make my own shuttles out of Evergreen plastic shapes (like scoutdad and others have). Easy enough.

I just rarely need shuttles in my games though, so counters do us.

The mini shuttle is way too big. It's as long as the 1:3788 scale Federation Heavy Cruiser miniature sold by ADB.

As for shuttles, Tobb Bryce at Ninja Magic will have a master of the Admin shuttle done in the next month or so and it'll be sold soon after. I haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure it'll be of the same quality as everything else Todd does. I, for one can't wait to order a few dozen of those puppies!!!

I totally miss not being able to go again this year. I had done a Fed OCL carrier ( Virigina-class ), that I wanted to show SVC and changed up the CVA I had previously finished.

This being out of work for a year stuff really bites! I'm keeping happy thoughts for next year. Being in the Seattle area makes it real hard to get anywhere easily. I drove it once. First day to where I-90 & I-92 split, second day to Eau Claire, and the third into the con. I'm not doing that again by choice.

Yea it was brand new. I tried to call Customer service but all ways busy. and Hassbro dose not even list as one of there games.

I suspect a conspiracy. It must be the people in the Black Helicopters that are camouflaged UFO's!

Sorry, I don't own a camera.

What I had done was remove the engines and replaced them with the yoke from the kit bash pack. It used to be on the NCL before the one piece design. I affixed the back edge of the yoke, centered and even, with the top edge of the aft hull.

I then built a box that runs from the back of the head, to the front of the yoke. The box is the same height and width as the structure on the CVA aft hull.

Lastly I removed the bridge dome and replaced it with the teardrop bridge from a spare Tug. This was placed so the front edge of the teardrop is even with the mark left by the dome. The trailing edge now extends out on to the box structure.

I hopes this helps visualize what my USS Virginia looks like if you want to make one yourself.
