Star Trek Question

Are you sure it was TNG? Sounds like the Dauntless.

Possitive it was TNG. I just saw the episode on Spike TV. Where can I find specs on that ship?

The Soliton waverider. Go to the bottom of this page: http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/schematics/starfleet_probes.htm The model was a reuse of the Mars Defense Perimeter ship model from "Best of Both Worlds" (a bit higher on the same page) made from a Soviet Typhoon and two Los Angeles attack subs.

What I find amazing is that, in this time of CGI, they did it the oldfashioned way of kitbashing
They even left the prop shafts of the typhoon where they were.

That reminds of the those cylon ships from Battlestar Galactica, where you could see the upper hull of a Tiger tank and two half engines of a Porshe (or was it Ferrari ?)

Thats the one I guess kitbashing saved a ton of money and apparently TNG was an expensive show to produce! Thanks for all te help.

A Mars defense ship might make an interesting build. I've always been interested in system defense and police craft.

That would be cool. I will need to find more info on this class.

Common practice in Sci-Fi kits. Check the SF3D range of kits and some of the Star War Models (Slave 1, etc).
You can find MANY parts from other models on them.

It gets even worse in movies when they use a bowling ball lit from the inside and covered in crease to use as a meteor crashing into a ship(Black Hole).
