That's "MiNbari", for Valen's sake! B-)

Really? Could you provide a bit more detail on this -- modifications,
etc., if any?

And let's not forget the not-Narn heavy fighters, GZG cat. no. GF-008. I
don't
know what they're supposed to be in the FT universe, but they'll do for
Narn
fighters as far as I'm concerned.

I note that the B5 Wars people plan to release miniatures for the
fighters as well
as the big ships, but, with only two to a blister, I doubt that they
will be anything
like in scale with the starships, so I think I'll be using the GZG
stuff. Now, how
can we get Jon, Mike and co. to produce not-Centauri, not-Minbari,
not-Vorlon
and not-Shadow fighters -- and maybe a not-Thunderbolt to go with the
Star
Tigers? Some not-Vipers and not-Raiders would be nice for the BSG fans,
too.
Ah, dreams...

Phil, starting to save _now_ for all the B5 miniatures.
