Well, it's not a FASA design, but I was intrigued by the color design on the Romulan Stormbird (converted D-7) and painted my FASA mini with those colors from the FASA ad. When the Klingon Bird of Prey model came out, I decided to paint a Romulan Variation of the Bird of Prey in the colors of my Romulan Bright One mini:

Beauty... I think the blue should go further out in the feathers, but -- beauty. I'm still trying to find minis of my favorite FASA ships (including four Romulan ships) so I can start experimenting. I came in just as it was going out. Started having money of my own in 1989 -- actually, went in to buy some minis about a week after they disappeared from my hobby shop's racks.
Oh -- yes, Kris, makes me happy.

I would absolutely squeal in delight if the warships involved in the Tomed Incident were Novas.
The first Fed design, that he can't recall the name of, is the Durrett class cruiser (and he's missed off the torp launcher).
The one he calls a Gallant Wing is actually a Wing of Vengance. (Damn, had to look that one up, to start I though it was a Comet of Destruction).
The Nelson looks more like a Hermes to me (the difference is in the nacelle supports).
The Swiftwind was the D-16.
Stongtongoe is funny misspelling of Stingtongue, which was the D-2 in FASA's system, but a new ship not an old one.

Yeah, Paul made a few errors. I know he's had them pointed out to him, tho am not sure why he's not corrected them. It's a pet peeve of mine, tho, so I'm a bit obsessive about such things.

Does anyone out there have the original minis? Or know where I could find them? I want to set about adding them to my 1/1400 fleet...

I've got some, but am sorry to say that I've only got one of each and am not interested in selling them. Ebay's likely your only hope for the originals, tho you could obviously got the resin recast route.

Well I never. This is what happens when scabby little fan sites go around nicking other people's work without giving due credit, other artists find it and don't know where it comes from and are so denied the propper resources to further the design into another medium.
Masao, if you (or anyone else) has an account there could you point the man in the right direction, before he gets too far along? Since it looks like he's working from out-of-date schematics and I have a thing or two that might be of use.
That aside it looks like he's done an admirable job. Well done that man!

I always liked it, but there's not enough room for everything FASA claimed was in that hull. The wings should be mounted on a Miranda-style extended hull with the underslung photorps of the Thruxton from Starfleet prototype. That ought to make enough room for all the marines and shuttles and so forth.
Then the FASA version can be reused as a variant destroyer type...
