This set is actually very good with moderate modification.  The Sathar
capital ship comes in 2 mainbody sections and pylons witht the engines.
This can be modified into 2 capital ships with the front half requiring
no
modification or slight modification (I put an main engine nozzle where
it
normally attaches to the back half)  The rear half, now without a decent
bridge I attached a Sculpey disk and depending on your tastes you can
add
2 or 3 pylons.	2 pylons gives an Enterprise effect and 3 gives a more
airplane look.	Final size fo each half is about 3".  The Sathar
cruisers
are excellent without modification although a bit lacking in detail, but
then that's what paint is for.
