RAFM had it up for sale last year so you might want to call if the urge
hits you again....

I kinda have given up on ship figures, I passed my collection onto another
group that was doing that level of miniatures combat a few years ago. But I
love what was produced in the day. Ad Astra recently produced the
battlewagons of CT in Miniature

Currently there is a move towards/intrest in 15mm in SF Miniatures. As such
one of the nucleus of this resurgence has been the classic Traveller 15mm
figures, in large part because a certain former Traveller Licensee's Gothic
"Space" game turned into medieval/WW1 fantasy with guns and the secondary
market went with them in those tastes in 28mm. With all of that there
several companies out there producing some very nice figures that work well
with Traveller.
