ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! Thank you very much for this model. You have definitely filled a gap.
As for your next BIG model, I too would love to see an accurate Searcher model. If you choose this one please note one important fact:
All renderings based on this SketchUp model are WRONG:

The image Rickstef posted was made using this model, so using it will lead to awfully wrong proportions (the neck is too long, the detail work is fantasy and the engine section is completely off).
When this model became available I was so excited because I thought I could use it as a base for a new papercraft but the longer I looked at it the more inaccuracies I noticed. Trust me, this model looks nice at first sight, but you can't use it to make a model of the Searcher from the TV show. It is totally wrong.
You'll have to base the model on the real filming miniature you see in the show, on Ken Larson's site etc. If you need any references don't hesitate to contact me; my archive is several GBs big.
