Zhu Zhu pets, those of you with some form of little one around have probably heard of them. If not, they are basically robots that look like guinea pigs. They move around making cute noises and such.
They also have an expansion line, the Kung-Zhu. These are the same things, but with martial bent. Important to us gamers is the Armor avaliable to them. Better for us is they aren't very popular, so that means sales and clerance.
They have an excellent shape, and are easily converted into a 28mm shuttle with minimal work. Sticking them back-to-back would make a good base for a larger ship, or simply building off of the armor would be easy too.
I saw this one in CVS for $10, which is absurd. I then found it at Target on clerance for $1.97, a much better price.
I bought it, brought it home, filled in the gaps with plastic card, added bits from the bit box, prime paint and seal. One shuttle craft in an afternoon of work.
Here is what it looked like before (minus the zhu-zhu pet inside, that is sold seperately).

I think it came out pretty nice.
Completely unrelated to the Zhu-Zhu armor, I found this "wooden puzzle" ship at Miachel's on clearance for $2.99. It is called the Master Ship.
It goes together well, and it's big enought for a small 28mm ship. Obviously I need to do work on it, I have only assembled the base parts here just to get a feel for the usefulness. I think it will make a fine addition to our small seas!
