Does anyone know where scaled kits such as these are available? Apart from the AMT/ERTL lot?

Are all of them scratchbulids? I'm just starting to build my model fleet. However i only can get hold of a coulpe of ertl kits. Currently i have the Defiant, Ent-B, Reliant, a Miranda kitbash which i call the Triumphant class, the Ent-C, Ent-d and I'm starting to make a centaur using a reliant and excelsior kits. Seeing your stuff persuaded me to get my arse into gear and start working at them!!! -------------------- "Marge, trying is the first step towards failure!!" Homer Registered: Jun 2002  |  IP: Logged Jason Abbadon Rolls with the punches. Member # 882 posted                       Cool! The Steamrunner, Sabre, Norway, Nova, Rennasiannce, Prometheus and several of my designs are scratchbuilds. The Nebula class ships are either conversions from Victor Dolph or the SSM kit. Sounds like you are off to a good start with your fleet! Got any pics? I'd love to see them! also check out the 2500h thread at the starshipmodeler.com forums. Alot of great models there. -------------------- Justice inclines her scales so that wisdom comes at the price of suffering. -Aeschylus, Agamemnon Registered: Aug 2002  |  IP: Logged iam2xtreme Member Member # 836 posted                    what materials do you use to build the scratchbuilds? to say that they are scratchbuilds they are really impressive. -------------------- "Marge, trying is the first step towards failure!!" Homer Registered: Jun 2002  |  IP: Logged Jason Abbadon Rolls with the punches. Member # 882 posted                       The Steamrunner, Norway, Nova and Sabre hulls are carved from the resin of a broken Starcrafts 1400th Promethus and a 1400 Cardassian galor class that I bought on Ebay on impulse. I enlarged the ships' schematics on a copier at work and used that as reference (seeing the actual size of the ship is a BIG advantage for scale and proportion). All the decals and markings for these were made on Adobe illustrator 7 and color printed onto Chartpak clear matte decal paper: works kind of like a dull sticker but looks just like a decal after the finishing clear coat is sprayed. You should try a Norway or Sabre. Both ships were some of my first scratchbuilds and they turned out well. The hulls are simple shapes and not too large or tiny. The nacelles on Nova, Norway, Sabre and Steamrunner are made from wood "popcicle sticks" (sold cheap at any craft store) and cut/shaped to the correct size. Sabre's nacelles are layered coffe stirrers from Starbucks with some styrene detailing. the Prometheus was my first attempt at sculpting with two part resin epoxy. Nice stuff for simple shapes, but you should work on wax paper to prevent sticking. This stuff dries in about 24 hours and can be sanded. The Akira classes are from Spaceboy (now defunct) and I have done what I can to accurize them , shy of scratchbuilding the incorrect nacelles. Also check out TM lindsey's webpage for the best, most detailed 2500th models ever. He's producing an Excelsior from STIII now and sells fantastic kits of the Stargazer ,Nobel and Sydney class ships. Hope this is helpful! -------------------- Justice inclines her scales so that wisdom comes at the price of suffering. -Aeschylus, Agamemnon Registered: Aug 2002  |  IP: Logged Jason Abbadon Rolls with the punches. Member # 882 posted                       Ravenstar Studios is releasing some fantastic 2500th kits! Including a Chandley (from FASA) and a Romulan Winged defender! -------------------- Justice inclines her scales so that wisdom comes at the price of suffering. -Aeschylus, Agamemnon Registered: Aug 2002  |  IP: Logged Akira Member Member # 850 posted                       were can i buy prepainted and prebuilt models? -------------------- Christopher [email protected] SR20Egg Registered: Jun 2002  |  IP: Logged iam2xtreme Member Member # 836 posted                    Nowhere that i know. I buy custom decals from federation models so my ships have registrys other than those of the vessels ertl supplys. For example i bought decals to change the Ent-B to the Lakota and the Ent-C to the ambassador. i dont buy models from there though as i cant afford them with the postage rates to the uk. Also, Jason, where can i see these ravenstar kits? -------------------- "Marge, trying is the first step towards failure!!" Homer Registered: Jun 2002  |  IP: Logged
