Check out this mean looking Miranda class kitbash over at Starship Modeler. Definately one of the better uses of different scale parts.

I like it!
Very nice indeed! Say how is your carrier coming along Steve?
Haven’t been able to do much on it lately. Not ime, plus kinda stalled out. Might need a break form it, so I’ve printed up plans for the Hydran Ranger. Just need to decide a scale. Thanks for asking Woody.
Have you found some plans for the Ranger? I would be interested if you have. I used to use the Hydrans from time to time in SFB. That Hell Bore weapon was tough! What was their dreadnought called, The Paladin? I hate to hear your carrier has stalled it was very interesting.
Yes I found the small “plan” sheet that came with the miniature and made 200% size copies. I used a similar method to make the Lyran Tiger years ago. I need to give some thought as to whether or not to “upgrade” to a TNG version by adding panels, etc. I do want to at least lengthen the warp engines and maybe upgrade those too. Yes the Hellbore lives up to its name. I wasn’t real happy with the other Hydran designs.
As for the carrier, I’ll just keep plugging away at her. I’m actually real close to putting on a base coat of color(whatever that may be) and then have to think of whether or not to aztec it.
Any chance you could email me a copy of the Lyran and Hydran ship plans? [:D]
Cool ship, altho I would have pefered a TOS design, cool nonetheless.

I’ll try to dig up the Lyran sheet and see how well they will scan. Give me a few days.
Thanks steven. The old SFB game is chocked full of neat ships. I wish someone hadn’t relieved me of my collection of SFB miniatures.
I know what you mean. I had the whole Kzinti fleet and tradded it away. As well as quite a few others. I kept a few, though, including the FASA ships I had. I have 3 plans scanned, just need to know where to send them. Let me know.
My email is cdwoods@semo.net I can’t wait to check them out! [bow]
i have a few klingon ships like 4 of them
Mike, what ships are they? I liked the FASA Klingons better than SFB. And the Romulan Winged Defender was cool too. That would take a while to build.
Woody, plans are on the way.
I got the plans, Thank you. [:D] I sent you a couple images you may find useful. [;)]
well i got 1 D7 cruiser with a smaller ship probably a Frigate with what looks like a satellite dish mounted to the front that probably is a type of disrupter i got a 2 piece Battleship im not sure of what class but it has a seperate front end with warp nacels and a very large rear section and i got a Klingon Tanker vessel
Excellent work!!! I myself have begun my first attempt at building another class of starship. I’m modifying a Reliant kit to create a Comanche Class Assault Frigate, USS Littleer NCC-3619. I only hope it turns out as well. I’ve never tried this before. All I have to go by is a black and white pic from a book.
Mike, sounds like the biggy is the B-10 battleship. I had one at one time.
Faol, be sure to take pics of progress and post them from time to time.
Woody, you’re welcome. Nice Lyran pic. If I can get Photoshop up and running maybe I can add a background like that to my Tiger pic.
well i found more Starfleet battles miniatures on Ebay i think it might be possible to kitbash a dreadnaught out of the TOS Enterprise by the way how do you kitbash a Akula class Destroyer
You would have your work cut out for you in that scale. The only things you could use as is are the engine nacelles and the saucer pylon. The Federation Dreadnaught is one of my favorites though. Good luck.
