Default when I looked at it I saw a ship set

Ok now that we have a ship set coming which looks like a Klingon Dagger...

I was realizing that we have "I looked at a xxxxxx and saw a ship set"
A) swords
B) pie plates (those UFO guys)
C) lego's
D) my computer (borg has the box design covered)
E) my out-of-control rose bush
F) birds of prey
G) ones that look like a kid blowing bubbles made them
H) various "thats a cool car.. hmmmm...." looking ones
I) military ships at sea look
J) candelabra
K) a rock
L) geodes and gems

Hmmm Im sure there are more but those are just off the top of my head. Anyway I thought Id just start a thread where someone might toss in some real ideas of "look at this and thing ship set". Serious ones please. I already posted a number of links in another thread which can spark race designs (maybe I should thread that also). I think this thread could be interesting. Maybe even some links to images Online which show why you think it would work.

Dirigables? Alligator? Dolphin? Keyboard letters Y H W A?

Has anyone else here built spaceship models from household bits and pieces?
My brother and I have built 2. We even built a 6'x6' diorama (sp?) in which to photograph them but it got demolished when I moved. Both were based on Gatorade bottles so:

N) Gatorade bottle

I saw a "home terrarium" kit that looked like a flying domed ship.

Maybe something based on fancy aquarium fish. Angel fish? Long tailed goldfish and long tailed guppies?

Maybe an uprooted tree flying thru the air?

My niece is playing with those baby beads. big colored pLastic beads that you stick together to make a necklace.

Looking at some of these definetly said space station, or mines, or ships, or even race picture (sticking two earrings side by side looked like it would take little editing to be juse as nice a face as some Ive seen)

EDITED: the original links worked fine for me but apparently caused problems for others

There should be a chess shipset... Perfect for SJ's old chess scenario!

True

Did you see the thread where I gave some links I found from "monster masks" "alien masks" and 'action figures"? Great material for racial images
