Star Ship Help
Posted by Dubau on Thursday, October 5, 2006 2:37 PM

Hi all. As a lot of you know I just got my model desk up and running 4 or 5 months ago and I am still going through some box's I have for my models and I came across a box that had these in it today.

I don't remember where I got them " LHS I think " but I did get them a Long Time Ago......

What I want to know is, does anyone make decals for them ?

Thanks all

Bud

Those appear to be the old Starline 2200 Star Trek gaming mini's.  There used to be someone who made decals for them, but I don't believe he does anymore.  I'll dig around and see what I can find, but you're likely going to have to do some custom decals, sorry to say.

Ah seeing those brings back fond memories of my favorite game of all time, Star Fleet Battles! If they are plastic they are more than likely the Zocchi miniatures. You might start your decal search here.

I believe all those minis are still available.

I never played Star Trek Battles or anything like that. I just liked Star Trek and that's why I got these little Starships. And that was 10 to 20+ years ago. DAM I AM OLD Tongue [:P]

Thanks Griffworks and Woody I will look into finding some.

OK  I emailed a friend of mine who has several of these mini's, too.  He says the guy who used to sell them is Jay Chladek, but that he's no longer selling the decals for these minis.  Also, I double checked and the scale on these is 1/3788.

Sorry I couldn't help better than I did.

Your right Ed..

Bud bats for both teams....Aircraft-Spaceships. eeeerrr, I mean not unlike you and I. He also models in different subjects!Smile [:)].. 

Cool little ships... Shame about the decals.. Maybe you could paint them up and let the kids decorate the Xmas tree with them?.. It's an idea....

Cheers Chris
