Subject: [OT/FT] Stupid Micro Machine Tricks
Awhile back, someone pressed me on some alterations I was planning on Star Trek micro machines. As I am a starter, but seldom a finisher, of projects, breath holding is contra-indicated. However, I did want to point out some possibilites for those who have eBay accounts. If you log on, look up completed items by tnc-audio, try to ignore the final bids. Inspite of my admiration for the imagination and quality of work that brought these bids, IMNHO, they are just insane. As I'd mentioned trying to build FASA-inspired ships, a look at Fed Fleet 3 will show a near example in the long, skinny one. There's a FASA that uses the Miranda hull married to an Excelsior engineering hull with 1701-D engines that has the similar effect to this obvious Miranda/1701-A plus extra engine. Most of the rest are cut from whole cloth, but justifiable extentions. The fun is in trying to identify the various parts; there are a few Star Wars items thrown in, and in the past, the builder has used some of the Galaxy Voyager pieces, too. The_Beast
