You are doing a GREAT JOB on this project! This is coming together nicely!
I like the two ships that you added to the photos to show size comparison.

Nice work, as always.

Hope you have a spare HD! Hate you lose this one. That Bajoran ship was sweet too.

@DC Station is saved and the Bajoran Vessel too, only the final sheets of the Maquis fighter is lost!



Glad to hear that! You're tale convinced me of backing up, I can tell you.

It looks good too. The hinges even look posable.

Have you posted the Bajoran yet?

I've been waiting for that one and the Talarian Observation Craft. Someday, when the pain is not too great, I hope you can rebuild the Maquis. You did a combo with a Federation ship, as I recall, that was a kit-bash used in DS-9, for the Dominion War, or was I dreaming that?

I wasn't a great fan of many of their kitbashes used in the later series, but that one looked quite smooth and natural, even for my critical eye.

BTW: the scale shot with the Oberth is informative:

well, hinges are posable and i hope i can do it also with the arms!

The Bajoran vessel was just a side note in another thread:

I hope, that i can release it for Christmas, but no promise!

the Maquis was a base for the Yeager Class! here was the threas about it:

The instructions for the Talarian, Tamarian and also the Karemma are still in work!

I really hope you are able to restore / remake the lost Maquis fighter files... :(

Marko,

Pretty cool. You know I have followed your threads for years and understand why it takes a while for the instructions. Your build sheets are very detailed and make construction a pleasure.

Glad to hear that the Marquis wasn't a total loss. I must have miss-recalled the event. I do remember that you'd lost some ship in the HD crash but must have gotten them confused.

You still pick some of the best subjects; the ships that many people fail to appreciate. Looking forward to a German Christmas...

Back about your Talarian ship, I thought it a shame that the Nxt Gen didn't do more with them.
