Subject: Assembling GZG FT Models

The latest discussion on how to assemble the CMD ships, raises a point that I
have asked for information on in the past and had no complete response to.

I address this to Mike Elliott as the on-line presentative of GZG. Could
you
please post or publish in any form - definitive instructions on how to
assemble the Full Thrust line of ships marketed by GZG, although they are
manufactured by Copeland.

The problems mostly relate to the large ships with several parts, I have tried
peering at the photos in Full/More Thrust but for some of them it just
is no good.

The photo-copies supplied with a few of my ships are seldom adequate and
as I result I haven't built any of the large multi part ships yet.

I even volunteer to create legible electronic versions in
postable/printable
form once I know what goes where, I will even give these to GZG if they want
them, all I need is information - please respond.

This is a short-fall in a very excellent line of models.

How about listing construction diagrams on the Web page as well as pictures of
completed models? I think it would be great to see how everyone paints their
ships.

The big thing to remember with CMD ships is that there is no 'official'
way to put them together. Look at the big NAC fleet in MT - especially
the pocket carriers! There are many ways to do it; the main bitz (on NSL

ships, at least) are pretty obvious, and the rest can go wherever you think
it'll look good!

For the NSL ships - well, most seem to have a 'ridge' on the 'back', at
the rear, where the bridge fits. Of course, my NSL Battleship has its bridge
on the wing instead, and one CE has it under the belly, but what the hey...

A very good idea, who has access to a web server & a color scanner and the
time? They could be mailed color photos which could be posted. I have some
time but no scanner hardware or puvblishing web access.
