AW: [FT]Star Trek rules - BIG thanks

Hi everybody again, big thanks to everybody (specially to David Griffin). That
was exactly what I was looking for.

David, just out of curiosity: What models do you use for your photos? Are they
in scale to each other?

Model sources include:

Task Force Games Star Fleet Battles miniatures (old and new) FASA miniatures
Some FASA scratchbuilts I've bought recently Galoob Micromachines Rawcliffe
Pewter "preassembled" ships

Basically, anywhere I can get a new federation ship and I can afford it, I buy
it. Of course I tend to buy ships I can use in my wargaming as opposed to the
bigger versions used for display. Some are so old the paint is yellowing. I
might have to repaint some of them, but I'm reluctant because I can't find the
rub off lettering anymore for the numbers on the dishes.

Scale is always a problem. The micromachines have no consistent scale. The
FASA miniatures and the Task Force Games miniatures are usually reasonably
close to each other in scale because both used the same size constitution
class starship.

For the rest, it's anyone's guess. I really wish galoob would have exercised
some effort to keep the scale closer. I'd love to have a defiant the right
size.

Oh, forgot one source. There's a guy name of Bergstrom

http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Meteor/4155/thumbs/orderform.html

(but don't try to use the order form. I think there is an email address in
there somewhere)

and he has a few tiny versions of some federation and klingon and romulan
ships. He has a little Enterprise D I called the Dolphin class heavy frigate.
They are only 0.80 apiece. There are also little Klingon D7's and little
Romulan warbirds. All are $0.80 apiece.

There are lots of other neat little ships like a ship that resembles Galaxy
Quest's Protector, a tiny shadow ship, a martian war machine (great grav tank
for dirtside), a martian walker (infantry walker?), tiny battlestar
galacticas, tiny narn cruisers, and so forth. Unless you play at a very small
scale (like the Star Fleet Elite line Task force put out so people could play
in regular small hex grids) these ships are at best destroyers and at worse
corvettes, but they're cheap and well made (and cute as buttons).
