This configuration resembles the Orion class CA from the Valiant
Stardate:3000 line. The forward section was a disc with one large
tube-like
projection near the front top. Below the disc section was a small
weapon
mount. The pylons on the side mounted forward facing tubes appearing to
be
weapons and sensors. The long middle section was very modular-looking
with
both sides slightly angled. The rear three engines were almost
identical
mounted in a triangular configuration. Inside each engine exhaust were
two
nozzles. Overall the ships in this line were very detailed with a near
future look to them. Most of the Terran ships followed this design with
a
forward disc section, followed by a modular block section, and ending
with
large engines with plenty of exterior plumbing. These little guys were
my
favorite minis, but unfortunately I only own a few of the Terran ships.
If anyone knows where I could find some of these old minis, I would
greatly
appreciate it.
