I've been eyeing this piece so long, I'm glad I can now share it with you all on our brand spankin' new blogsmith system. I must confess that while others may have memories of these with model car kits, I'm not cool enough. I remember them more for those Gundam model kits. However the first model kit I ever built was of an F-14 Tomcat.

If I had $2,500 to throw around for a piece of sculpture, this would most likely be it. I have the perfect wall at my new place for it. The only knock against it? Random parts, it would have been better if the various components actually built something. Though our generation may appreciate something so analog, I doubt it would fare well with today's kids. They'll need some circuits, lights, motors and a connection to their laptop so they can program it to do something.

So for those of us that would appreciate this fantastic piece, how do we get our hands on one? If you have $2,500, head on over to Jellio.com. It's limited to 10 pieces, but since it's the first of a 'series' I'm looking forward to what other sets they'll come up with. Wonder if they'll loan one to Weblogsinc for... 'evaluation' purposes.
