Itty Bitty Trekkie Ships

So, a little while ago I posted my modest effort at making 1:5000 scale playing pieces for tabletop starship gaming. To my shock, some people even liked it. I was getting some more models ready for uploading, then I dropped everything and went off play other games.

Sorry about that.

But I'm getting back into the spaceship games now, and the paper models for them.

First off, the ships of the old Tech Manual. They need a little tidying up, but that shouldn't take long. I've got a couple pictures here, if you're curious.

Next, I'm about halfway through drawing up a TOS-style Constellation-like ship. No pics yet. Sorry again. But it ought not be a long wait.

After that? Maybe a TOS Miranda? A D7? Romulan warbird? FASA and SFB? I see others already doing the like, and doing it very well. Should I find some other, unexplored territory to goof around in?

Nice work on those ships! Could you upload the ones you have? I've got a Federation fleet in SFB that desperately needs more ships.

Thank you, all. I promise I'll get the Tech Manual ships uploaded just as soon as they're cleaned up. Won't take long. It would take even less long if I had the sense to work on 'em instead of reading and writing messages on discussion forums :)

McHale, I like that TOS Excelsior. Not too complicated for a beginner like me. The semi-boxy shape the engineering hull is what does the trick, I think. May I ask where those pics come from?

EDIT:
Why did I write "Romulan warbird" in my previous message? I meant Romulan Bird-of-Prey. Y'know, the one Spock's daddy was flying :)

Btw, you little Declaration-class ships are a big hit in my Star Fleet Battles games. I pull them out and someone always says "That's paper?! Where can I get some?" And then I proceed to direct them here. In fact, that little model was part of the inspiration to start making the entire line of SFB ships in 1:5000 scale (the other part was the frustration in having to pay hundreds of dollars for a fleet of metal minis :o ).
