	According to Nic Robson the OU ship miniatures should be done
but I still
have no idea what they look like. As for the UN ships Nic did have a
resin
model at SAGA some weeks ago (which I bought in a moment of weakness
which
nearly always gets me at Nic's stall). It was a carrier that came in 3
pieces; body, bridge and engines. Fairly smooth sort'a model which to me
looked a lot like the carriers out of Space: Above and Beyond. The
molding
was pretty good overall though there were a lot of small annoying balls
of
resin over the more detailed parts of the model and the engines took a
bit
of filing to fit right. I haven't finished cleaning up the model yet due
to
lack of time but say 2-3 hours to do a good job on the one I got. As far
as
I know this model is the only one in the range so far and I don't know
who
made it or if Nic has any more (I got the last at SAGA) and it's not in
his
catalog yet.
