Having viewed teh shipset now: Oleg, nice ships, but ... they're -not- Tholian, at least not as a dedicated Tholian/SFB purist such as myself would accept them.
Sorry.
The ships are nice in their own right ... but ... *shrug* ... they just don't say "Tholian Holdfast" to me.
Images of miniatures (sculpted, physical 3D models), though small and a -bit- hard to see properly, can be found here:
SFB Catalog Tholian Miniatures .
Note how the CA (second listing form the top, the left-hand ship) is -basically- two smaller ships, welded mostly side-by-side. The right hand ship in that same image is the NCA, a Cruiser of the NeoTholian squadron.
The Tholian PC is the basic ship of the entire line -- the one based directly on the TV episode the Tholians were first featured/mentioned in (there have been others, though usually they're only vague/roundabout references
).
Just to clarify, SFB classes proceed (from smallest to largest):
PC ... Patrol Corvette / Police Cruiser
FF ... Frigate
DD ... Destroyer
DW ... War Destroyer
CL ... Light Cruiser
CW ... War Cruiser
CA ... Cruiser
BC ... Battlecruiser
DN ... Dreadnaught
BB ... Battleship
If you examine the image for the CW + PC set, you will see the War Cruiser is essentially two PC's, one stuck op the other's backside, then welded in place.
So if you're interested in building a "Purist's Tholian Shipset" ...
