I think I'd like it if you used something other than Picture Trail to host your images... [Wink]

Looks pretty sweet to me.

Aww, the good old Bozeman... it's nice to know that she's in service even in your fleet. Did you ever think about making the USS Soyuz?

Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :

NO way! The Bozeman was a bitch to build from a Miranda and styrene sheet in this scale.
...although I do prefer it by far to the Saratoga version of the Miranda class.
I consider the Bozeman to be a unique case in my fleet.
I sure won't be adding any Connie refits into my fleet:
everything is Dominion War era.
It's also why I gave the Rooseveldt (Dreadnaught) an "NX" prefix. [Big Grin]

Very nice, more closeups! Are all of them in the same scale?

Just curious, what's this one?

Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :

All the ships are in 1:2500th scale.
The ship you pointed out is the new USS Monitor and is a hybrid of Soverign and Galaxy components.
You can see a top view in one of the other albums.
I reallu love the Soverign's saucer, but it's nacelles really don't translate well in many other designs like the Galaxy nacelles do. [Wink]

Awwwwww... there's the Aegian... look how cute!

*makes little baby-talk motions with his fingers*

Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :

Yeah, the Weber's got a place of honor in the fleet. [Wink]

Rather nice....BUT....

My only gripe is that all you have in your fleet is capital ships. Where's the support vessels? Your fleet medical ships, tankers, transports & freighters, science ships that can be retuned for fleet work?

They may not get the glory, but they're just as important on those runs from Tedium to Boredom & back again, with the occasional side trip to Ennui.

There's an Olympic class ship there somewhere...

Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :

Bottom left I think.

I'm waiting for Mr. Abbadon to make nice 'beauty shots' of a few more of the other ships.

i.e. black background and one light source. And at least one of every 'group' of pictures of the one ship type - from the same angle. I.e. top left looking over the ship.

They'll be fun to play with in photoshop then! [Smile]

very nice work. I love some of the closeup shops. Wish i had the time and resources to do even one of those. Great job! [Smile]

Actually there is a supply ship (USS Drake) somewhere in there as well as an Olympic class (another is almost completed) and the USS Bradley (a Sydney class converted for troop transport).
There are also two escorts (besides the four Defiant class vessels), two Oberth science vessels, three scouts, two destroyers (kinda starfleet PT boats), six Runabouts, a courier of my own design and a dozen Perigrine fighters.
Then we get into the Capital ships. [Wink]
