Hmmmm I should post a scan of a drawing of a starship I drew years ago... I found it while cleaning out stuff not long ago. I thought it looked cool so I kept it. It looks like the 'new' vessel there.

Ok, I bought the damn thing, but my scanner and my photoshopping skills are not good. Neither is the calender, shoddy work with a few exceptions. However, I would like to see scans of the hybrid NCC 1701, the "Manta ray" and the TAS ship. Anyone? Please...

So I've just purchased the Ships of the Line for 2007.
One word sums up this year's effort:
CRAP!
Truely crap.
The only saving graces - the cover (and that's a model) and Andrew Probert's fantastic pic.
The rest is just uninspired boring miss-mashes of ships and crap.
The worst pic would have to go to the destruction of the Solar Observatory from Generations - that E-D model is SO bad. The edge of the saucer is not rounded. There is no 10-forward windows the hatches look like they were drawn in (no offense) powerpoint.
The forward/saucer deflectors have been turned into windows as well. The model for the solar observatory is simplistic and crap.
This whole thing is crap - why didn't I wait until the post christmas saleS?? Oh that's right I've been collecting all of them - can't stop now.

That Ent-D model is truly rubbish, I dunno why it still gets used. Gabe's one is a lot better as is Dave's (the 1 million poly beast). Still I was pleased at the way the C turned out.
