[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: Looking at the Chekov pod (which I'd hoped was a detachable mission-specific pod but now looks to be standard issue with an unseen deflector—annoying), I'm wondering if the piece might be a cut-down airplane fuselage with appropriately-reshaped wings. Also, I don't think it was part of the original model, because either there's a TON of transporter emitters there for some weird-ass reason, or about half of them are acting as stand-ins for lifeboat hatches, which is weird as there's proper ones on the rest of the model—unless it's an add-on piece.[/QUOTE]I think you're right. I do recall reading somewhere that Miarecki did build it like that because he wanted to ship to resemble the Grissom, but now that I see the model up close, that was probably just bullshit someone made up. It totally does look like an add-on part that wasn't on the original design, and it certainly doesn't look like it came from the original Ent-D model kit as was previously thought. [QUOTE]So not only does Buran actually have an oddly-staggered nacelle placement, there's not even any pylon for the ventral nacelle?? I think ASDB designer-engineers were doing a whooole lotta space crack in the 2340s.[/QUOTE]Yeah, I wonder why Okuda didn't use another sub conning tower as the pylon for the second nacelle. It's not like he wouldn't have had any handy, since he said he and Sternbach bought a bunch of sub model kits. On that subject, I hope that in the future there are uncovered photos of the Mars defense perimeter drone. That's the one ship we haven't gotten good pics of yet. [/QB][/QUOTE]
