Hi everybody. I'm looking for pictures or plans of the Baton Rouge class cruiser from "The Chronicals of Space Flight". If anyone can help I would be most grateful.

You'd never be able to use a search engine for that.

You guys sound like you are a lot of fun. I appreciate the links but I have all those images already. I have seen, while surfing the net, some fan produced CG images and a very nice three view drawing. I must have been a sleep at the wheel because I didn't save the images. I'm building a 1/1000 scale model for a FSM scratchbuilding group project. If you run across any pics please think of me.

Good man! There is already several Baton Riuge class ships in that scale (under construction) and I'll dig you up the links.
I take it you're using the Polar Lights kit as a basis to start from?

Jason, I would really appreciate those links! I'm not using any kit parts. I'm starting from scratch with plexiglass and styrene sheet. The main inspiration will be the painting from "Chronicals". If your familiar with this image it leaves the neck area in doubt. Most interpretations of the design seem to baddly want to add convex shape to the top and bottom of the saucer but I don't see it in the painting (who knows about the bottom side). By the way there is a fellow getting ready to offer a resin kit of the Triton class from "The Chronicals of Space Flight" and it looks pretty good if the pics of the masters are any indication.

I'd like to see someone work out that neck section in a proper way! As you said, most CG work makes something hideous out of it, completely ruining the otherwise fine design.
