phantom Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Took out the Star Trek Tech manual from the 70s. Built the last of the 3 Enterprise off shoots. This is the Dreadnaught class. Three engines and a much bigger secondary hull. All three of the weird ships. All nice Canadian names....... The fleet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vidar_710 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Nice build! FYI, check the manual again. The Dreadnought didn't have a B/C deck under the bridge. 😉 Cool looking ship all the same. Tracy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 Yeah, I thought about using two lower hulls, But then I would have to buy two complete kits. Not paying over $130 for a what if of a what if. These model kits are getting expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vidar_710 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Two lower hulls would not have worked for you. Remember, the lower hull concaves into the profile of the hull. Just cutting off the B/C deck, replacing it with a styrene plug, and putting the bridge on top would have done it even though the top profile on a Dominion class is quite pronounced.. Example of a styrene plug from my old Copernicus project... The old ERTL kit B/C deck is incorrect, so I cut it off and replaced it with a corrected shape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MHaz Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Shawn, Great build! There's a version of the Federation-class blueprints that shows the standard Class I saucer section: Cyngus X-1 / Federation-class Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 Yep, From other sources I have read Dominion is one of these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
