OK,OK tyhis is how my fleet was made...

Alright, alright, here is how my ships were made...

Fleet carrier:
My first ship, i wanted to keep the flat top look, so i cut some sheet
styrene in the desired deck shape and then glued it on top of a little
box
(hull)
(the contianers for mechanical pencil's lead) . for the thruster i used
a
1x4 lego, with the hollow end facing out glued to the back of
everything.
The superstructure is mainly made up of an old "enter" key from an
ancient
keyboard. To this I added odds and ends to make it look more interesting
(mainly a BIC pen cap on the side of the hull to cover a huge hole that
was left. Once painted it looked alright.

Another ship i made consisted of two scale model airplane bombs. One was
the central body the other was kept in halves and glued to the sides.
To this i added some styrene to create a bridge and added a few guns
(cylinder beads used to make collars mounted on computer connector
pins). 

At about this time io got my dremel (been wanting one for years, finally
got arround to getting it).

My superdreadnought was the first ship i can really say is mostly made
from scratch.  the only parts that aren't are a computer connector cover
that became the exhaust,
two lead boxes (small and interestingly shaped, they are the thin blue
ones with a neck- some might recognise them) 
that became the forward booms and two 2x2 legos i used to anchor the
structure. Everything else was cut sheet styrene.

My dreadnought is essentially a smaller version of my superdreadnpught
except that it is made completely of cut sheet styrene.

There are other ships but the are all made in much the same manner as
the
ones above. More than anything else i'd recomend finding wworkable
shapes
arround the house and simply adding stuff to them (like say, sheet
styrene or whatever plastic you have available and can work with)

As far as cruisers go i'd recommend you simply buy Micro Machines, fix
them up and then paint them, they turn out very well.	 
 
I hope this helps anyone wondering how to make unique ships.
