USS Coventry kitbash from PL Enterprise

Posted by John P on Thursday, September 18, 2003 6:59 AM

I took down my little photo stand in the basement in case of hurricane flooding on Friday or Saturday. So here's a quick shot without the proper background or lighting. I'll do a proper series of shots once the Big Wind blows thru.

Based on the design from Ships of the Star Fleet Vol 1. Illustration can be found here:

Decals by PL, JTGraphics and me.

More to come...

Very clean build, John! Keep 'em coming, and hope you weren't hit too hard by the 'cane. I know how tough it can be.

Now that I have my photo stand set up again, here she is in all her glory (he said modestly):

Nice! I like the two shuttle bays idea.

Looks great!

Since you're doing the Coventry, I take it you're familiar with the Surya and am wondering if you could help me. I'd like to build one but I don't have a forward view to make sure that I get the angles of the pylons correct. Do you know of any references that include the Surya's front view?

Damn, John! This makes PL kitbash #2 & it looks just as good as the first one! Keep up the good work.

Kugai, all starship questions may be answered at on of two places.
For research and info: http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/

For drawings of every starship ever created by Paramount AND the fans: http://www.shipschematics.net/

The Surya is in the latter, under frigates:

This is a great modification! It's very interesting to see what can be done with a $7.99 *snap-fit* kit. How long did the Coventry take you to build? Any other "non-mainstream" Star Trek modifications coming from your workshop?

During assembly, did you actually do the snapping or did you trim those parts off and use glue? Can you give me a quick run-down on how you created the parts of the hull that weren't in the kit?

Thanks and I look forward to seeing what else you have in store!
