Some really nice stuff on that page .. bit dissapointed to see that
one of the Mobile models is equipped with a laser cannon, though.

Hey ho.

I don't know anything about the laser cannon on one of the (Product Enterprise) Mobiles on the Comet Miniatures page in question. But I have one of the others, and they are generally quite well done. The only major problem is the almost universally reviled weathering job done on them. So much so that Comet sells a 'clean' version of one of them.

Do they do a 'clean' version of all three, or just the one?

Just the one. And it seems to be exclusive to Comet, although I have seen the clean version on Ebay also. The weathering on the others is incredibly BAD. Looks like brownish-black leopard spots all over, with no rhyme nor reason I think I had read in the FabGear forum that the company responsible was fired by Product Enterprise.

Although a bit annoyied and sorry to hear someone is using someonelse's art
without even asking, I wonder is there a chance you can get the publisher
(especially after success of "Complete book of UFO") and have your "Art of
UFO" book finnally really printed for all of us who desire it all this time?
All the best, Branko
