LOL - I found one of those "bags of wooden disks" at a local craft store. There were some almost 1" disks that (because I'm a colossal nerd) made me think of the saucer section of a Fed ship. So, a few cut down/sanded wooden dowels, some extra viking shields (for use as the top curve/bridge area) and bits of mat board later, and I had a Constitution class and two little "Saladin" type Frigates. They're semi-painted at the moment, but still need some lettering.
Here is a quick snapshot from my cellphone (can't find my real camera). The ships are mounted on 1" fender washers with another wooden disk glued over the hole. You'll probably recognize the game mat.
Love these simple models they look good on the map and presumably u can make a shedload without taking out a mortgage.
Sometimes improvised stuff works really well. `0 years back i made a thunderhawk for my (then 11) nephews 40k marines from a lot of carboard boxes etc.. he loved it to bits (literally)
