Another kit from deep in the stash. This one is from Ugh Models which produced quality , not seen every day sci-fi vehicles from the Star Trek and other genres. Sadly they are no longer around. First signs of them were in 2013 and they seemed to be gone by 2118. If anyone has more specific info LMY
Anyway the kit is the 1000 scale Romulan Chowder - class Cruiser. from the Star Fleet Museum site:
As UESN forces began their advance into Romulan territory in late 2158, the Romulans gradually abandoned any realistic hopes of resuming offensive action or achieving their war aim of conquering Vulcan. Instead, defense of Romulan space and Romulan worlds became paramount. For this reason, ship production began to shift from Cabbage-class cruisers to the purely defensive Chowder-class cruiser. Also known as "squids" or "Veronus" by UESN Intelligence, Chowder cruisers replaced the large hemispherical hull of Cabbage with a gently tapered cylindrical hull 30 m in diameter. A small wing atop the hull was tipped with two spindles that may have been auxiliary directional warp nacelles for increased maneuverability at warp speeds. A smaller version of the standard Romulan fusion power plant appeared to be used, but slightly slimmer warp nacelles were capable of propelling Chowder to a maximum observed speed of wf 3.2. Armament included a plasma cannon and six missile launchers.
What drew my attention to it was the "Not A Saucer Shape, Not Seen Every Day" nature of the ship. The kit came in 5 parts, with a base and some decals.
Clean up was quick and in no time to construction was complete. I added a wooden disc to beef up the base.
The base was painted black and I'm deciding what green to use. Images show if from a Deep Green to an almost gray Sage Green. But that's for next time. Thanks for looking.
