I just finished assembly and painting of the Starfleet Challenger Class. I had assembled many of the components beforehand, but the only pic available at the time was so bad, that I decided to wait. Well, as you know a cleaner image became available just before Christmas if I recall, and it was then that I began work on a model of it. I still intend to battle damage it and call it USS Buran when I can make waterslide decals for it. For now it's a brand new USS Armstrong. I even took a picture of mine at almost the same angle as the study model pic so it can be scrutinized. Let me know what you think of my interpretation.

OMG! That is great. I'm DROOLING over the Challenger!! That's fantastic - the detail you have put into things like the correct corridors and the shuttle bay etc.
WOW!
There is another person around here who does nice models - who is that again? He did the Cheyenne etc.
I said to him, and I'm saying to you - It's crazy that we never saw some of those other starships more - I mean your models are so good - they could have easily been used for filming!!
Background ships at least - instead of the craziness that is the Raging Queen etc.

I dig Stephen's work....he's not too bad. ( kidding, kidding! Put down that X-Acto!) Andrew, who built the Chyenne besides Soundeffect? I have my crazy updat version (pics this week BTW) but aside from Shik, Me and Stephen I know of no other physical model builders at Flare.

Buy a great Aeroshuttle in 1/1400th (1.75" long) for $10 here: http://www.federationmodels.com/ Look at the "products" listing and the at the federation models kits. They offer a couple of nice Delta Flyers too in two sized with decals so all you's have to do there is minimal painting.

I believe the Firebrand's damage is part of the model. Stephen is a "purest" and would'nt even twealk his DS9 Kitbashes to make them more plausable (like I do). I don't think Stephen has a New Orleans (suprising actually!). CHeck his website to be sure ans see his Challenger with repairs in progress to see some kewel work.

Yes, see my first post. The Challenger is wonderful!!
I'd love to see a 'clean' model of the Freedom Class. Plus if he'd really wanted to be a purist - he'd have to remove hulking great chunks of the saucer!
You have you ships on your wall... where does SE put his?
