[FT] I have more ships

eBay - a curse and a blessing...

Anyway, I am now in possession of a motley collection of ships for the Humans
and Aliens in my campaign.

I now have the following: (from largest to smallest, sort of;

Unopened Blisters: 2 x SB #3002 COM Battleship SB #2003 CAM (?) S Type
Battleship SB #2002 CAM Battle Carrier SB #2004 Gam Desslok Command Ship I
(fiddly bits)
SB #2001 GAM Tri-Deck Carrier
SB #1004 EDFS BattleCruiser (Yikes, what's with all the fiddly bits? And this
is 'one' ship?) FT105 NAC Tico DD FT202 ESU Lenov Scouts

loose in package: a NAC style ship smaller then Ticos (shorter overall,
shorter neck, shorter body, smaller 'head',) one wing (left, right one missing
I assume) looks like Minerva in FB1 only significantly longer wing.

I /think/ (note: *very* open to suggestions) I will 'make them' to be:

2 x SB #3002 COM Battleship -  Human  or Mertun CA's or BC's
#2003 CAM (?) S Type Battleship - Possible Nekton CA or BC
#2002 CAM Battle Carrier - a hybrid CA/CV perhaps
#2004 Gam Desslok Command Ship I (fiddly bits) - a Nekton CL/CE/CA
#2001 GAM Tri-Deck Carrier - Human CVL
#1004 EDFS BattleCruiser (Yikes, what's with all the fiddly bits? ANd
this is 'one' ship?) - a DD?
FT105 NAC Tico DD - DD's
FT202 ESU Lenov Scouts - Scouts

'Loose' Ship - a Corvette or Frigate or maybe an Auxillary (Sensors?)

As for the NAC/ESU mix - well, here on the frontier, you use what you
can get.

And to think, after the beads ships I was going to try and get some NSL
ships....

Since I am not familiar with Starblazers (the general idea only) any 'history'
would be nice, especially about all the fiddly bits and the 'helicopter blade'
in the #1004 EDFS Battlecruiser blister. Not that it will be incorporated in
the FT design but just for discussion and my understanding of their designs...

Gracias,

I've put together a couple of Starblazer minis before. Note: you will not use
all of the photo etched pieces. I think the most I put on was 8,
but some might take more. There should be  an instruction/diagram sheet
with each ship. If you need additional reference got to:
http://members.aol.com/neghvar2/index.htm . I held the p-e piece with
tweezers and put accelerator on it, then put glue on the mini.

The Minerva-like NAC ship is the Miyazaki DD (OOP), and, no, it only has
one 'wing'.

As for info on Starblazers, someone else will have to help you. I haven't seen
the show... yet, I am trying to find someplace that rents the videos before I
break down and buy them.

How did it differ from the FB1 DD's SSD (I think that's the acronym)? Weapons,
speed and etc.?

Gracias,

It was actually a Frigate.

There is no official SSD for it. But you can look at the ones I did for
it at http://www.ftsr.org/ft/ft25/ships003-050.asp#miyazakic and
http://www.ftsr.org/ft/ft25/ships003-050.asp#miyazakie

By the way, I believe GeoHex still casts them (FT104).
