Chief Lackey Rich > Ive visited you blog before. That post on space station is full of nice ideas.
Best plastic kit ever made for starship gamers if you ask me - although I haven't gotten a chance to play with the Resistance ships yet. I suspect using parts from both the stations and Resistance will make for some incredible designs, especially if you're not married to the idea of keeping the result Dropfleet-legal.
I'm inclined to agree with you on how pretty the Santiagos are, although I'm also a big fan on their monitor designs for sheer chunkiness - they're almost on par with the Resistance destroyers for that.
