A young lad saw starships:

Purty!
I think we were all that young lad at one time or another. |

Outstanding as always, and some of my all time favorites. Just like the Valiant ships, lots of model RR parts there! Anybody have an "In" with the MKP folks? I have been tinkering with some masters I was thinking of bartering to them, but no response via email.

Whose models are those original pictures of please?
they look great. |

I remember those, great ships. I belive Monday Knight Productions (might have the name slightly wrong) sells them now. |

Just to let you know the ships were made by Alnavco/Superior and I believe there were 5 Fleets all told. I used to have a lot of them but for me the problem was trying to mount them because at least one time I tried drilling into the mini and it cracked. |

Currently available as the Galactic Knights range from Monday Knight Productions. link I haven't been in contact with MKP for a while but there is a Galactic Knights yahoo group out there and I posted a link to this topic over there and that might get their attention. |

Captain Gideon and Star Ranger are both correct. I just left a phone message with MKP as they were our casting source for our resin 3 to 1 scale fighters for Silent Death (and we'd like very much to bring those lil darlins back into production as well!). Let us see if we can bring the good people at MKP out into the open… Leland R. Erickson

BlackWidowPilot, thanks for sharing those photos. The Superior Models line of Starfleet Wars minis (now Monday Knight Productions' Galactic Knights) is my favorite set of starships. Virtualscratchbuilder, love your builds! Do you have any more photos of your creations? |

I will post some more later today. |

Here we go…
The larger is meant to be a big heavy cruiser. The smaller, which is yet to be finished, is a frigate. |

Oh I remember clearing out the garage to play, with the original rules! On the floor in the garage. Using painted orbs of different sizes as plants systems. Then I join the service and my dear mother sold them ALL in a GARAGE SALE!!!! MOM!!! What have you done!!! The only game to survive that on slot was my Avalon Hill game "Tactics II" which I still have. Now I have to muster the money to slowly get them all back one or two at a time. Great paint job on those.  |

Then I join the service and my dear mother sold them ALL in a GARAGE SALE!!!! MOM!!! What have you done!!! There was a thread a while back on "mom" disasters. |

…one time I tried drilling into the mini and it cracked. My problem was there's more detail on the bottom than on the top, and the tops are VERY busy! I never could bring myself to try a test hole; not surprised by the 'cracking'. Would take careful drilling at that. Truth is, I preferred to keep the beasts in the box, on foam. That bottom detail could be flattened and otherwise marred just setting on a table. After my first lead ships, Minifigs, they just brought tears to my eyes, so beautiful… Doug |

The saga continues, with the Entomalians showing up to challenge the might of Imperial Terra, and yet another alien menace attacking a border outpost of the Terran Empire:
