Vagabond Class & Vagabond Class Refit

In order to hone my kitbashing skills, I searched the web far and wide for interesting kitbashes to try my hand at in my favorite scale of 1:2500.  The rally low cost of those sized kits made it easy to acquire the parts needed to have many a bash fests.

During my travels, I happened across the website of a very skilled model maker named PT Riley and he had built the original TOS era Vagabond.  You can check out the model at THIS LINK.

I liked the looks of the ship and the backstory he had made up for it, so I started chopping and gluing.

The Miranda class seems to be a favorite among Star Trek fans.  This is probably because it was the first Starfleet ship to be shown on screen that wasn't a Constitution or Constitution Refit class.

Since I like kitbashing in 1:2500 scale, I have purchased a lot of AMT Round 2 3-Ship sets over the last two years.  Although the Miranda class is not my top favorite, I can't deny that her unique hull and that oh so popular "roll bar" and weapons pod open this model up for some very interesting kitbashes.
