Ok folks here is my build of Clever's USS Rhode Island in 1:1700 scale.
It really is a pocket starship lol. There are a few small gaps :(

Glade to see this one! Especially at 1700th. What a little jewel. Wonderful build. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice build Sidewinder. I like it. I might do one as well. Are you starting a pocket fleet?

keep up the good work.

Looks great at that scale. Is the original a Clever-standard 1:1000? The 5th page of parts looks to either be cross sections or formers. Did you use them at this scale? I'm probably not building this one yet, but figured I'd ask while the idea is fresh.

You've had a lot of build threads as of late. I'd be interested in seeing another whole-fleet shot if you get the time. Last time I saw it you had only 8 or 9 ships. I'm sure its a lot bigger by now.

Have you built Nothing's Voyager yet? Plan to? I think that's high on my To-Build list. For Trek models, it may be first or second to Ron's TOS Enterprise... or maybe Mike's repaint of it...

I dont remember exactly what the original scale was, I think somewhere in the region of 1:650 and no I didnt use the formers, I just reinforced the bottom of the primary hull with a lamination of 1mm card to keep it from potato chipping. Havent built the voyager yet but it is definately high on my to-do list as well, got Marko's 1:1700 rework printed and ready to go.
as for the whole fleet shots, ask and ye shall recieve (a few still need stands)

ok all are 1:1700 (or reasonably close lol) unless otherwise noted

Front row from left
1. My USS Xerxes, 2. SF Papercraft USS Reliant, 3. Ron Caudillo's USS Enterprise, 4. Paragon's STXI USS Enterprise (Old version), 5. Cmags' mod of SF Papercraft USS Enterprise-A, 6. Paragons USS Hood, 7. Zosho's USS Stargazer, 8. Clever's USS Rhode Island, 9. Zosho's Sabre Class, 10. Bill Perry redraw of Ninjatoes' USS Defiant, 11. My ENT Era Romulan BoP, 12.

I also have Paragon's Vulcan DSRV in 1:1700 but somehow forgot to get it in the shot, was out of cubes anyway lol (Except the Z***** cube and I wouldn't inflict that on you EDIT** just noticed it is peeking around the corner in one of the shots, IM SORRY, SO SORRY :(). anyway it is still waiting for its proper stand, that of course being D-Whale's Maymora :D
