Is it too late to suggest a few more Don Bluth straights to complement those curves?

[Just kidding but rather seriously... the straights would take this maquette to the next level and help to secure it's Don Bluth-style autheniticy. By comparison of the illustration to the maquette hopefully you can see the areas in question] - In writing this I understand the riduculousness of my suggestion with regard to translating Don's 2D drawing into a real world maquette but this was my initial impression.

As is... an outstanding statuette!

Hmm, I remember seeing this a little while ago. I think they are going to make a Kimberly from Space Ace too if I remember right. I came across that site about year back looking up the Disney Afternoon. Seems they have Rescue Rangers and Darkwing Duck Marquettes....but no Talespin. How sad, I would've bought two just to make a statement.

In closing, I really wish they would make a Dexter (from Space Ace) Marquette! I'll keep dreaming.

Yeah Kent Melton is amazing and a really great guy! We're so lucky to have so many talented and nice people in the industry.

It's tough to capture the lashes. But I will be buying one. Thanks for the alert.

Does anyone know if there were maquettes made for any of Don's films? I don't remember seeing them anywhere. I might ask him that at the next seminar.

Lets hope this and Kimberly make it to market. These things have a way of getting developed but never released.

One of my holy grails would be a model of Aces Star Pac.
