Scale: 1/750

Why such a lackluster entry? I picked up the Cardassian Galor kit at an Ollie's last March and built it as a toy for one of my grandnephews. I assembled the main hull mostly unpainted and left off the end cap so that I could insert a flashing, shrieking LED toy by way of lighting effects. I found that the bridge and aft engine sections blocked the seizure-inducing light show, so I left them off. (I dubbed the remaining hull "Thor's Hammer" due to its shape, Thor himself already being pre-occupied with a couple of other franchises.)

I didn't want the leftover pieces to go to waste. I found if I put them together at right angles, I got a utility vehicle whose shape suggests a drive-in waitress carrying a large tray of kanar and piping hot fish juice to the beleaguered fleet. Hence, the Cardassian Carhop.

I hadn't originally intended this as a contest entry, so the model was unpainted when I gave it away. These are the only photos. Just wanted to let folks know of a diverting little variation on the Galor-class Cruiser.
