the only thing good there is the injection nx01. might buy that. Some of them resin models, like 50-60 usd for an 8 or 9 inch model is nuts. ATM kits are 24 inches or there abouts and cost 22.50 usualy at the local hobby store. So if I'm going to pay 69 bucks for that neghvar...it better be 4 feet long or it's not worth the money. It's also too bad that giant 1701-A is fiberglass. Over a grand for that? I'd give them no more than 100 USD. Way way over priced. Additionaly their available kits page is crap. It's a common link, so if you click on available kits for a given ship you get them all not just what you want http://www.starshipmodeler.com/trek/trekscales.cfm for example. No prices, no pix, no phasyical kit sizes given, just text. Lots of injection type models listed but I dunno how big they are when built or how much, so the page is pointless, doesn't actualy help a perspective buyer.. What's the point of this site again? Get everyones hopes up to let them down with insane prices for tiny little ships?

micromachine akira's and prommies would own...reasonably priced too. I just like kits I can paint. Just can't justify paying 3-4 times the price of a 24 inch ATM model for something that aint even bigger than my D***.

Those resin kits are not overpriced at all, that is how much they cost, the fact is resin is a f**king expensive material to work with but you get much higher quality results more often than not because resin kit makers are actually bothered about the subject matter, the mass-produced kits are more like toys, s**tty accuracy and minimal detail. I don't know about fibreglass but I'm betting that's an even more expensive medium than resin.

IIRC alot of micro-sized models are available at Cleeve's Staryards. Link is on Battleclinic. Hope that helps. Alsp check E-Bay they may be available there.

I've never worked with the stuff. It'd be nice to try it, but regardless, I'm not going to experiment with a 60+ dollar kit. Even though the injection kits by ertl and monogram are notoriously inaccurate, I can't tell, and while they sometimes don't fit that great I can manage with them and they're just right for me. I'm not nearly as skilled as these people are on that site. Them guys can make something that looks like a studio model.   The thing that matters to me in plastic kits is size and simplicity.

OK, Starforce, no offense at all is intended, but there just really NEEDS to be a MicroMachines joke made after that... 

To the original post, I would have thought it would be hard to make the Akyazi-type look worse, but TOS-ing definitely does...  IMO, anyway...
