Greetings fellow Waypoint users.
I want to convert one of my Paris class frigates into an Stalwart class frigate.
So,what do I need to change in order to recive an accurate version?
I know I need to open the front gap,so Im glad about every tip I can get.
And before someone says check some wikis,I have done it and I havnt really noticed any diffrences,so thats why I ask here.
There really are not many differences externally for the standard unsc frigates. For stats a stalwart typically carried extra troops in exchange for it’s missile bays.
There doesn’t seem to be much of a difference from what I can tell. I think the Paris is a bit longer, but at this scale that difference is negligible.
On a similar note: any ideas on converting Marathons to Autumn-Class Cruisers?
(I have a bunch of the former and need place-holders until I can afford the latter)

The Atumnclass seems to lack the middle construction that goes up,so I think removing this would be the best,however it can be that the ship could become unstable if you remove to much.
Theres also some sort of “ramp” on the side of the atumn class shortly before the thruster section starts,so you need to reproduce them to.
On a side note:
It seems that the Stalwarts have diffrent wings over the thrusters,any idea how to make them?

There’s this product called “Green Stuff” that I know is used a lot in 40k modeling (some people even build entire custom miniatures out of it), so I think it would work just as well here. It comes in blue and yellow epoxy putty, and depending on how they mix them, you can make your green epoxy putty as firm or soft as you like. I think it would do what you need it to.

The Paris-class has the open gap in the front too. Only real difference is the size.

Every UNSC frigate has this open gap.
Its closed on the models because the stability couldnt be provided if the gap would be open.

Aye.
Now if only we’d get a 1/700 (Stalwart/Charon) frigate model for Ground Command… and a SDV Corvette for the Covenant side.
Little Update:
The model is now finished and prepainted.
Now I decided to paint the it with the colors of the Stalwart Dawn which we seen in Reach.
My question now is,can someone provide an picture on which I can see how the ship was marked,as an web search didnt bring up the wished results.

We never actually see UNSC Stalwart Dawn in Reach, only hear one of the (presumed) officers on board over comms.

With rules for Archer, MAC, and plasma projector strikes on the ground.
