If you want to give your new ship a custom name, but don't want to spend the few bucks for custom decals. Try using the letters given on the decal sheet that came with the kit and rearrangeing them. To find all the possible word combinations for your pre-named ship, use your favorite search engine and look for sites that will let you enter in a word, or group of letters, and the program will show you all the possible combinations. Search for phrases like "word games", "scrabble", "anagram", "word finder". One site I found was - http://www.w3tg.com/wordfinder/. This can be a lot of fun just on its own. I found out that I could rename the USS RELIANT to the USS LATRINE or the USS RENTAL by simply rearranging the letters! |
