Hey Guys, Has Anyone Built Models of Ships from the Sci-Fi Novel Series 'Honor Harrington'? just picked up a Book in the Series, and Thought i'd ask if Anyone has Built one. May post an Idea Soon,Unsure if i should post it in the Idea Bank or Where you post GB Ideas.  btw, a Lot of Ships from the 'Honor Harrington' series belong to the Star Kingdom of Manticore and use the Prefix HMS! What Say You? Thanks for looking.Dan

There's atleast one on Starship Modeler.
There are no good kits, bad kits or grail kits, just kitbash fodder.

I like the tech in the Honorverse, and the ship designs fit well with the combat and propulsion systems, but visually they're kind of bland.  I've come to prefer the ship designs from David Drake's RCN (Republic of Cinnabar Navy) series.  Those are cylindrical like the Honorverse ships, but have external gun turrets and collapsible sails for traveling through the Matrix (the RCN version of hyperspace).

The attached image is from one of the Honor books, Ashes of Victory, and illustrates two different designs of superdreadnoughts, a standard unit and one of the newer missile pod-laying variety.
