Nebula conversion kit question

[fubar]

Hello all

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum i wasn't quite sure where to post this!

I'm looking into making a Nebula class ship from Star Trek, i understand there isnt an actual Nebula class model kit but it has to be a kit-bash instead. Can anyone tell me if these are the correct parts to make one up?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Those would, indeed, be good places to start.

Yep - a D and a conversion kit. Hunt down another one (unless you won those) and get hacking.

Does anyone know if the resin parts for the Nebula conversion are solid? Or are they hollow like the plastic kit?

The reason I ask is for lighting purposes.

Thanks all,

Iain.

Only kits I've seen were solid. Federation Models sells the conversion kit in that Ebay ad, but they do want $140 for it

This guy http://www.dlmparts.com/excelsiorvoyagerds9.html does built for lighting - no idea about UK suppliers for it though.

Thanks, guys.

@custardchris. That nebula conversion looks like the best option for lighting, thanks for the link.

A bit pricey for me though and I wish he wouldn't use coloured clear parts. I'd much rather let my LEDs do the colouring.

Wow, thanks for the link, custardchris! These guys've got a superb kit for lighting the maquese ship - might be of a great time saving when I turn to mine))

I have used Don's light and Magic before, quick shipping and reliable...

DLM has a very nice step by step build up of the Nebula here:- http://www.flickr.com/photos/30727025@N02/sets/72157622508512619/
