                        Very, very nice! Kit bashing these PL kits is almost becoming a craze. Anyone built a dreadnought yet?Cool [8D]

                        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!

                        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?

                        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.
