well I got some interesting stuff
Posted by Mikeym_us on Thursday, August 3, 2006 9:27 PM

well in the mail I recieved a Fine Molds Tie Interceptor that I got on Ebay for 27 bucks. And a Miranda Class shuttlebay with the saucer correction set which I plan to use on the Reliant. The rear bulkhead has some slight damage but that is on the shuttlebay doors but I planned on having both doors open anyways to show off the bay. And I also recieved a set of two shuttlepods in 1/350 scale to go with my NX-01. Both sets were purchased from Federation models for a total of 38 bucks. And also purchased from Ebay but not recieved yet is a AMT/ERTL Enterprise Incident diorama unbuilt for 9 bucks. Big Smile [:D]

 

Hey BTW does anyone know of anybody who makes 1/650th scale shuttlecraft for use with the Reliant or the Enterprise refit. And if anyone has built the Reliant and used the aftermarket shuttlebay any tips on building it up and lighting it?

On the workbench: Dragon 1/350 scale Ticonderoga class USS BunkerHill 1/720 scale Italeri USS Harry S. Truman 1/72 scale Encore Yak-6

Sounds like a good catch there MikeymTongue [:P] As for the 1/650th try starshipmodelers or Cultman's site which would be  your best bet

well got the Enterprise incident yesterday looks like I need lots of Solder to attach everything so it would be a big project for such little model kitsSmile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

At least it would be good practice if I ever want to light a bigger one ehWink [;)]

Nice find!  You can contact FedMods about the damage.  I know you said you were going to have both bays open, but in case you change your mind or think it's something you can't "cover up" Tracey is usually pretty good about making good on his products. 

Hey BTW does anyone know of anybody who makes 1/650th scale shuttlecraft for use with the Reliant or the Enterprise refit.

Actually, those models are 1/537 scale.  Thomas Models *used* to sell both the TMP and ST:V type shuttle craft in that scale, but he's not sold them for quite some time.  I'm kind of surprised that the Reliant shuttlebay doesn't include some sort of shuttles. 

Lunar Models - http://lunarmodelsonline.com/ - sells a couple of upgrade/accurizing kits for the Refit.  I *think* they both include at least one of the ST:V shuttlecraft.  See link: http://lunarmodelsonline.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?

 And if anyone has built the Reliant and used the aftermarket shuttlebay any tips on building it up and lighting it?

Sorry, can't help here....
