I'm not sure about the intercooler Mike. I'm still looking forward to checking out you results. How are the miniatures coming along?

When I was a little nipper I thought, when I grow up I'm going to build a 1:1 Millenium Falcon. To my regret I haven't yet! Tongue [:P]

That depends on how many acres of cleared land you have access to, and deep pockets are a requirement too!

I really love the new 1/1000 scale, how about you?

Sure you can as long as you don't mind the new Federation secret super weapon that bears more than a passing resemblance to a claw hammer!

I decide on 1/1400th scale for the Ranger. Works out perfectly with some 5/32" thick styrene I have for the mid-section. I blew up the plans until they were the correct size, I can measrure right off of them to cut my pieces. Hopefully start it this week. The only hurdle is the warp engines.
I did manage to finish puttying the carrier and try to re-fit the clear plexiglass rod/stand. just need to tweak the pylons before gluing on the warp engines and re-priming. Then I'll take more pics.

So, do you think I can sneak my 1400th scale Ranger into the game as a super dreadnought...........? Big Smile [:D]

Okay Woody, when I'm ready to play I'll make a post in this forum trolling for e-mail opponents. It might be best to use something like Cyberboard because you can do your' dice rolls via computer with no chance to cheat (unless you reprogram the thing like James Kirk would do Big Smile [:D]

(I don't know much about programming)). Thanks for pointing me to Starfleet store.

Star Trek has been out with enough series that there is a whole sudo science.

I have seen plenty of designs that people thought were cool looking but would not work using star trek science.

But no one is stopping you from coming up with your own ideas. Look at the Akira-prise.

Also look at Wolf 359. STNG pull out all their junk models to make their battlefield.

You don't need miniatures to play. The game comes with counters. You can still buy the game and miniatures brand new at the Starfleet store. Email play sounds fun because I won't live in MI for another year! Wink [;)]

Michigan is too far for me, but I'd love to play by e-mail. It will be awhile before I am ready to play again anyway. Haven't owned a copy of the game in over 10 years. Will be checking ebay probably in a few months. Oh well. But in the distant future I'd love to play by e-mail.

The ship was miss labeled as a B-10(Duh...I should have know better). Sorry to missinform you guys. The picture was in the photo album of the guy's build-ups. It was labeled as a B-10 but I think it was a carrier of some type based on a D-7. I thought it looked pretty neat.

Yeah Steven come on over, what fleet do you want? I call dibs on the federation! Tongue [:P]

That's funny you should mention the "Defiant". I was surfing the other day and ran across fan drawings of the "Defiant Class" done in TOS style. Very cool!

Pretty neat, I think. Wink [;)]
