I just mucked around with some of the pics Soundeffect has taken of his model. It's a fleet-at-warp scene. I tried to keep them in the same rough era. That is supposing that they are all from the same era. I suppose an old Phoenix-type Nebbie could have been around then.

I was just looking at it again and I really think the Centaur is SUCH a good looking ship and design. Wish it was seen more often. Oh and the Curry doesn't scrub up too bad up against other ships of it's vintage. (I'm a bit iffy on the whole war-kitbashing idea now with reguards to A Time To Stand). I mean if they were THAT desparate - they'd bring out the Ambassadors and Springfields and New Orleans.

I agree with you on the Centaur - it looks to me like a kind of Excelsior-era Miranda. Its a shame everyone assumes it's a kitbash.
Is the Curry the one in the bottom right hand corner? It doesn't look too bad at all - the only problem is the bit of secondary hull sticking out the front - the rest is quite nice.
Also, on the kitbashing thing - perhaps they already had, and they were destroyed. I can't imagine them standing up against the Dominion for long. I also can't imagine SF mixing and matching ship parts without trying other things first - I shouldn't think the ships were particularly useful.

Yeah the Centaur and Curry don't look too bad cleaned up; actually, even the Medusa looks pretty good. Although my favourite of the DS9 kitbashes (and I'm not that keen on the shipbashing concept either) is still the Polaris.
Good work!
