I know I'd buy a set of those for sure, as well as to scale models (I like to build my own though, but I'd be happy with a prebuilt if thats all there was, it would HAVE to have interchangeable guns though)!
I remember when armored core came out with thier nifty little doll/model/action figures. I purchased two of em without even thinking twice about em. If CCP made models of ships, and had turret hardpoints you could snap interchangeable weapons into, I would be there with bells on. And from my room my wife and kid would here me going "PEW PEW PEW BOOOM!" through the door for hours on end when I can't be on the PC.
Either way the demand is present, even if all CCP does is make "official" versions of the paper models smiffa proposed (and is working on), IE complete with some bells and whistles so you don't feel wierd paying 20+ bucks for a couple of sheets of paper your about to mutilate into a sticky ball of glue and wood pulp.
They could be made from the highest quality paper/posterboard, possibly pre-scored, and partialy precut, complete with a poster of the ship, a card with vital stats, the model makers who worked on it (Yes I think they deserve credit in spades), and some official seal that doubles as a stand for your desk (ship should be removeable from it's stand for those like me who will make the PEW PEW PEW sounds, or the more normal folks who will hang em from the ceiling or something).
Demand exists CCP, all you gotta do is find a way to make it affordable, paper or plastic, I don't care, DO IT! and I will buy as many as I can afford.
P.S hasn't anyone here ever seen spaceballs? the real money isn't in the movie... It's in the MERCHANDIZING! Heck even SOE has a dumb giant boobed playboy bunny looking elf wizard statue... They even stuck a model in one of the collectors sets, and I know folks just tossed those away... CCP is WAY better than SOE! Comeone! lets see the merchandize!
Plastic? What about the old die-cast metal ... shiney gold Apoc, ... mm, can see it now!
and as for the Titans!! whoa, the firg's would have to be tiny otherwise it wouln't fit in your house!
