I did too, except in a couple of cases (Voyager
and the Defiant, though even for these they are
actually bigger ships in class then I would have
made them at first). Which ships do you find out
of scale?

Remember the Repulse class and the Excelsior class
are both excelsior minis, but the Repulse is a 
battleship (because it's small) and the Excelsior
is an SDN because of it's size. Same with enterprise
D's (some are small -- micromachines, and some are
bigger -- rawcliffe). The small Enterprise E's have
been sovereign class battleships up to now. Now that
I have a big sovereign mini, I'll probably change the
name of the battleship and use Sovereign for the 
explorer class (in 300mass range).

I'd like to see these scratchbuilds. I bought a
bunch of scratchbuilds from a guy on ebay and
some of them are quite neat.

There's a guy in our group who has the Klingons spec'd
like he likes them and he plays them all the time. 
They aren't overarmed but they are VERY tough to
destroy.

I'd like to see them when you're done.
