I spent most of the weekend recovering from the loss of a few FASA to SFC CDs I had. Thank goodness I backed up a variety of ships on other disks and was able to locate OPERATIONAL sites that had ships I missed the first time around in my bid to create the most extensive FASA to SFC collection available. I view this as a library resource for the SFC community, as many websites come and go and models get lost in cyberspace. Naturally, just when I think I?m updated a WHOLE NEW crop of FASA Trek ships arrive on the scene! LOL
Let me back up and explain that I am NOT creating a mod and that I am not really interested in collecting FASA Trek TOS or TNG ships. Unfortunately, many of the adversary races only appear to have TOS versions [e.g., Romulan V-1 Star Glider]
As such, I am emphasizing FASA designs over even CANON material. I don?t see the point in collecting ALL the Oberth Class, BOPs, Enterprise Class [Constitution Refit], Excelsiors, Reliants [Miranda Class] or even all the K? Tinga?s out there. Somebody else can do that. I have limited myself to a MAXIMUM of four models per canon ship, and left the door wide open for FASA ships.
The SCORE so far:
17 of 45 TMP FASA Federation ships have been converted to the SFC series.
17 out of 45 TMP FASA Klingons have been converted to the SFC series.
11 out of 38 TMP FASA Romulans have been converted to the SFC series.
Currently, the Federation USS Baker Destroyer holds the lead with the most number (8) so far followed closely by the Klingon D-10 (6) and the USS Remora (5). The Romulan Nova BB is up to four versions now. This unofficial ?tally? is subject to change of course, as more models, kitbashes or retextures come to my attention.
I AM LOOKING FOR the following ships to either be e-mailed to me at:
klingonfanatic@hotmail.com or have a link posted:
Klingon D-10 (TOS) Gray by P81 ROMULANIZED [Retextured by ???]; It was up online a year or two ago and I can?t find the link or my copy of the ship. I think it was by another SFC member from the United Kingdom .
Bird of Prey (B?rel) Romulanized part of Skinman?s collection of BOPs. I can?t find the link and there is a Gold-White-Brown BOP that would be good as a Romulan S-11 IMHO.
It is also RUMORED that the following FASA ships might still be at the shipyards:
Anduril: TMP V-1 and V-4 [meshes by Scott Hunter]
Captain KoraH: Federation Scorpio Corvette
Khaliban: Federation Chandley
Terradyne: V-20 Star Seeker, Klingon D-16, V-6 Gallant Wing
????: Winged Defender (Prototype style)
Any news/help would be appreciated.
Qapla!
