Command Con II by-product!

Subject: Command Con II by-product!

Well, I never expected it to happen so fast but I have it.

At Command Con II I spent $1 (Yes, I am normally a non-gambler but the
funds went to the BMHGA (Big Muddy Historical Gaming Alliance - the
local
historical club I belong to...) and won a 25 dollar gift certificate
(actually two tens and one five) that had to be used that weekend the
con
(vendors, etc.) and from that I bought two 'average dice' (never owned a
set just because) 3 three pots of Armory flesh tone paints and......
Full
Thrust 2nd Edition.

Now, what do I do?  I am busy trying to (besides have a real life with
wife, two kids at home, two grown up (well 1.5) and two grand kids on
West Coast of USA, house, yard,etc) buy/mount/paint figures for DS2 and
DBR, paint figures for Matchlocks on the Warpath and Starguard, and
find/write a satisfactory set of rules for "Fantasy" 1:'X' (ratio TBD) 
battle (as opposed to skirmish) gaming - NOW I need to find/build
starship/spaceship miniatures.

OKAY.  Since I think buying them will be a low priority initially, what
size scratch built ships should I be thinking about?  What would you
consider a 'normal' size for a escort, a cruiser, or a capital ship?  

In the Tuffleyverse, are the ships built to a particular scale?  I won't
have web access to TMP (The Miniatures Page) until lunch time at work
(no
browser at home) and then no guarantee the system will be available or
that I will have the time to look.  I known Naval miniatures are built
to
(IIRC, since I just bought a few - my first -on clearance) to one to
[1200, 1250, 2500, 4800, 6000] scale(s) but I expect the ships to run
between .5" (Missile Boats) to 5" (BIG capital ships)?	{That would be
circa 12.7mm to circa 635mm???)

Gracias, Triphibious/Glenn (first war game played 1959)
