Lookin real good but that thing on the ship's nose should not be there....is that something unique to that ship?
I still have your FASA re-creations from the Starship Combat site- gotta get around to building some of those...

Me likes! Lots!
and Jason? you should WORK for... who ever the fuck does the CGI shit for Paramount. You would make ST ship fanbois sing! SING, i say!
thank you- I brag to all my Trek pals that Masao posts here and I speak to his greatness and everything and how one day I'll get discovered like he was.... I'll see if I can take some new pics of the USS Gao Yao when I photograph the newly assembled fleet (now three bookcases across!).
Vanguard, mind if I steal some of your details for an upcoming model I have in the works with pods? That docking connection is groovy and would make a fine decal.

Erm... what thing on the nose? I added a few 'physical details' to the Cage design, but not a whole lot, just the weapon mounts, and gangway, so you've lost me on this one.
As for the pod mounting details, feel free to use them.
Vanguard, do you have any of those nifty "parts" layouts colored? I always meant to color sme of those for decal application but my old computer is no longer among the living (alas!) and all that stuff died with her.

No toolkits of the parts yet. I probably won't do it until Jaynz 2250 is out. (Which I'm working on now, actually, so it won't be TOO long.)
And, yeah, the decals on the foreward of the ship were indeed on the Cage version. I'm not sure about the WNMHGB before, as references go either way. Of course, by production, ALL the Cage saucer markings were gone.

Oh? FASA didn't use the dish much on anything, honestly. I put them there to be consistant with the other designs.
I figure that by the time of the PB-31/Mod 3, the dishes will be gone for ships without secondary hulls to support them. (Making the deflectors explicitly part of the shield grid for ships lighter than cruisers)

What was the point of the Heston according to FASA? Was it just a smaller version of the connie?
Anyway, they're comming out nicely, but I'm not sure about the Cage style deflectors on some, the Anton especialy. I don't know what to do otherwise though, except maybe an NX-01 style cut out at the front, but that'd look rubbish.

Well, fortunately, the 'Cage' era seems to be short. I have to do some quick math and sit-down and figure out exactly WHEN the phasing to the 'second pilot' could occur. Sometime between 2253 and 2266..
For FASA, the Heston has NOTHING on it, aside from being a cruiser just prior during the FYW.
