I've picked up a number of Star Trek and Star Wars and a couple of
Bablyon 5 Micromachines from Toys R Us, KayBee, and a store near
us going out of business, all on sale.	I don't really like
Star Trek and have never seen B5, but they looked like neat ships.
I've got Renegade Legions ships which will make pretty good
smaller ships, though only for one side, since they look mostly
similar.  But I'm not sure what to do for ships in between sizes.
Do you treat the Micromachines ships for being the scale they're
supposed to be, or for the size the model is?  I'd rather do the
latter, but I've got way too many capital ships if that's the
case.  If I could get something bigger and use these for the
cruiser size, that would be OK, or just finding something between
the little size and the MM size.  I've made a couple by cutting
pieces off--if you cut the guys off the Star Wars jet bikes you
get a neat looking ship, and I cut the big tank off the bottom
of one Star Trek ship.	But I still have too many about the
same size.

I probably should have played the game before I started buying
the ships.  :-)
