.....never throw anything away! This,USS Firestone NCC 8600, Class ship, Battle Cruiser, was a pure kitbash, with a couple of scratched parts (pylons, nacelle,and hull. also the megaphasers on the primary hull, and the lower photon torpedo tubes): |

That looks like an updated version of the old Dreadnought class from TOS.

There was a "future" version of this, commanded by Riker in one of the later Next Gen episodes. The dreadnought class, as best as I can determine, is similar. the secondary hull appears to be a bit shorter,somewhere between the "Constitution" class Cruiser, and the "Firestone" class Battle Cruiser, and there is no lower photon torpedo tubes, beneath the secondary hull. This is TOS, between Star Trek II, and the "Undiscovered Country". Some of these could have been re-comissioned in the early NG era.

Don't feel bad. I have yet to get beyond the design stage .

The ship Admiral Riker commanded was the Enterprise-D after a refit, in the final episode titled "All Good Things...". The ship is often refered to as the "AGT E-D". It sported a third nacelle & a mega-phaser canon under the saucer, among other small greebles. Here's a great build by John Payne: http://www.inpayne.com/models/agtd/agtd.html

Sumpter250: Very impressive. Do you have other angles to look at? I am not sure what Prince of Styrene II is looking at. I just do see the gaps he mentioned. His experience is a lot better than mine. Of course I could look at a models with big gaps and not see them. I usually look at the subject. I am sure when my is complete he can point out things I missed. This why these group builds are fun. I always miss things. Sorry I have not been doing much. I am taking a programming course to finish my engineering degree and that is taking all my time especially when I am lousy at it but it is a requirement. I also have to get some supplies and try Woody's suggestion on getting rig of my grooves in the saucer. Woody, I hope things are going good for you and you came out of the storm unscathed and your family is okay. -Scott

Yea, how's things going, Woody? Everything getting back to normal? I've been moving a bit slow on my build, too. Havn't touched it in a very long time. Work has been far too draining to feel the need to build. Last night I did go through my greeble box to look for deflector parts. I love parts that look very industrial, are functional & not pretty, so I think I'll be using some parts from the radial engine of a B-29. I'll have to cut them down a bit first, but it should look cool.

The only other pics are back on page 2, a starboard side shot, and a head on shot.

The patterns, and the material for the Kodiak secondary hull, are waiting for me to "pay them some attention". Model Railroading has captured my attention for the moment. I have a show to go to, end of this month, in Rockford, Il., and have been working on a logging train to run on the modules. A dozen log cars, a "loader", and upgrades to the locomotive.....easy work, lots of "research",(the internet hasn't yet been too helpful in providing the details of a steam siphon, used by the Rayonier Lumber Co. on its #111 locomotive) which is the more time consuming part of the build, and the reason I do Sci Fi.......to escape the research!

Once I actually start the project, I'll have to copy that to my signature......or.....when you see that in my signature,....you'll know I've actually started working on the project! :) :)
