	I have all the models but I forget some of the names so forgive
me if I
stuff up a little. Basically Primus to Vorchan should all be moved down
1
rating. I see the diffence between CE and CL as one of function and
armament so you can forget one. One of the models was called a destroyer
on
the box (the Alterian I think, long thin one with a hook on it's nose)
which might suit there or as CL. That would really only leave small
gaps.
I'd be temped to "dress up" Romulan ST models for the smaller stuff but
that depends on how stead your hands are and how bind you wish to go.
Hope
this helps.
