[quote="semperatis"]Ok then dr,here are the Fireballs, hope you like them. The comic/mag that I remember it appearing in was the Look and Learn,circa 1965.
If you need help as to what models are what,just pm me,and I can let you know.( I might have pics)
Those Fireballs do look rather splendid!
Hmm... yes, I think you are right, I do remember Look and Learn. But I believe that either Ranger took over, or Ranger was the original and the two comics merged. It's all a bit vague now, but Iremember it being somewhere in the picture!
Thanks, I'll look throught the catalogue. I have some of the models anyway. I think your frigate was the only "Fed" that I hadn't managed to match the catalogue listing to a mini |

The Ranger comic began in 1965,as a companion comic to look & learn,but it wasn't successful,running to only 40 issues,when it was incorporated back into the L&L. Look & Learn ran from Jan '62 to April '82. The Trigan Empire was it's most popular series ever,running for a staggering 854 issues. Yes,the Trigan Empire did start off in the Ranger comic. _________________ Federal Republic of Aurora fleet builder.

Ah... either your memory is a lot better than mine, or you've done good research!
There was a good comic about a space cadet class too. Don't think I ever saw that one republished. |

Excellent minis mate, I've bought quite a few of them from Ian at Irregualar over the years.

I took that a bit too literally and used your hangar pods to perpetrate this model of the Galleon-class carrier HMS Ark Royal;
With her escort group, Bulwark, Steadfast and Sentinel;
The central hull ended up as the core of this Babylon 5 Cotten-class fleet tender, EAS Pericles;

It should have been called a Blackstar cruiser,but Ian got it wrong,and called it a Liner.
I love the kitbashes Dan,they really do look good. _________________ Federal Republic of Aurora fleet builder.

The three Klingonesque type ships,but there is still the prototype to come, it hasn't been painted yet.

Here's the prototype of the gullwing type.I wasn't too happy with this model,which is why I re-made it as a cross between a D-2 and the gullwing.
revamped version

Long before the model came out,I made this Fed NCA from scratch,it's not a kitbash.

Very nice.
Yet again, at first glance I thought it was an ADB mini - you have some pretty formidable scratch-building skills to duplicate so closely. _________________

Thanks dj,I like to think that the NCA is probably my best scratchbuild. _________________ Federal Republic of Aurora fleet builder.
