Vulcan shuttle of USS Reliant
Posted by Chuck Fan on Sunday, April 22, 2007 4:01 AM

Would there be a Vulcan shuttle or USS reliant in 1/350 to complement the polar light USS Enterprise?

Not that I've heard of.  You could try Federation Models.

I've not seen a 1/350 scale Vulcan shuttle, nor have I heard of one in-works.  You never know, tho. 

As to the Reliant question, Angry Wives Studios has a vacuum form styrene and resin details kit coming out at some point.  No date set, but they're working on it, along with a 1/350 TOS Enterprise, Movie Era Federation-class dreadnought and Constellation-class (re: Stargazer).  No release dates set on any of them.  So long as they give a quality product that's as close to accurate as one can get, I don't mind if it takes another year.  Quality over quantity any day. Big Smile [:D]

It might be a conversion kit with no base kit if they wait that long.

Well, technically the long range federation shuttles that come with the 1701 refit model ARE the vulcan shuttle, minus the warp-sled. I dont know if anyone makes a warp-sled for them (a;though I don't imagine they would be too hard to scratch).

There is a Vulcan shuttle included in the kit. There is also a 1/350th Reliant coming soon from AW Studios. Drop me a line and I'll forward it to the guys at AW Studios.

Oh, and don't forget the TOS era Dreadnought and the TOS era Reliant and the TOS era Tug and Destroyer and the........ There's just a whole list of kits ready to come out, some I haven't even mentioned.... The TOS era bridge and the....

Actually, that shuttle that comes w/the kit is about 1/3 too small to work as a Vulcan Shuttle.  Here's hopin' that someone can come up with a Vulcan Shuttle and sled to go with it.  I think that'd make for an interesting display of the PL Refit kit to have one docked to the A-Deck docking port.

If you know what's wrong with it, fix it. Don't wait for someone to come out with a kit. Do it yourself. My God man, you love that tiny stuff, fix it. SHEESH! Some modelers, er, uh mods...??? It can't be that hard to add a little styrene and putty. LOLDisapprove [V]
