This is the Sci-Fi Spaceship Miniatures Federation class Dreadnought conversion kit, built by me. I bought the kit several years back (nearly six years, now) and built it one weekend using an already built Enterprise kit from ST: III, which I'd never decaled and had lost said decals not long after I'd built her. Did this one over one three-day weekend while I was single and living in the dorms...
I purchased this conversion kit from a now defunct company in Irvin, Texas, though I forget the companies name now. The decals used on this one are those from Sci-Fi Spaceship Miniatures (same company who made the this kit), are far from the best I've ever seen. The side pennant is simply the pennant from a spare Ent-A sheet I had. The pre-made ship names and miscellaneous numbers were all just a bit too big, and the red was a bit too close to the black lettering for these to be of any real use on most models. Unfortunately, I found this out the hard way.
Eventually, I'll pull it out of storage, strip and repaint her.I've been thinking I might strip this model down, add megaphasers off of the area where the pylons and nacelles meet, then repaint, and re-decal her using some of the decals I have from either Thomas Models or WebGames.
I'm in the process (over one year now!) of building another Federation class dreadnought for a friend, which will become the Dominion NCC-2115, which is in Franz Josephs Original Series "StarFleet Technical Manual". Fortunately for me, I'm not on commission, and *I'm* supplying both kits...
