Funny you mention it, I was actually gonna order some brakiri ships (and the abbai milani) for scale purposes and start a scratchbuild of the ship(the second one down).
Don't know how good it would look, but it's a start.

Thanks again Timeslip. The project turned out great afterall.
About half of the orders are ready to ship. The rest should be picked up this week for shipping (I didn't get the full order of moulds as I'd anticipated).
Only 9 units left! Timeslip, maybe we should cast another batch?!?

How about this for stats:
Hull: 6
Speed: 10
Turns 2/45
Damage: 70/15
Crew 70/20
Craft: 2 Thunderbolts
Troops: 4
Traits: Interceptors 4, AJP, HEL-Trak, Flight Computer, Self-repairing 1d3
Weapons:
Heavy Particle Cannon, 30", 4AD, TD, B, SAP, Boresight
Railguns: 20", 4AD, AP DD, Fore and Aft
Q-Laser Array: 10", 6AD, AP, MB, TL, All Arcs
Advanced Missile Rack: 30" 4AD, SAP, Precise, Slow loading until crippled, Turret
Particle Beam: 6", 6AD, Anti-fighter, Weak, Turret
So it sort of bridges the gap between Marathon and Nemesis, which is where I think this ship fits in.

I agree that it should bridge that gap. However at 10" speed (which I can see), the Hvy Particle Cannon should def. be only 25".
I also like the 10" range on the Q-Laser Arrays. With these changes the ship feels more like a brawler with some flexible long ranged punch.
The troops should be kept lower to my mind (2) - EFNI.org describes this ship as being high on automation and low on crew...and therefore the high crew threshold.
Also, Self-repair I think should be kept at D6...to stay in precedent.
Overall how does that look?
Lastly, the first shipment of Nike's has been sent out. Domestic orders were shipped Priority (because it was surprisingly cheaper than Parcel Post) so you should be receiving them...next week? Several Chicago area folks have theirs - I look forward to your finished painted versions!
International orders could & should take longer.
