So to make 3D ships - you just have to build them out of smaller shapes!?! Is all 3D done like that?

Great work. Do you envision this as a class variant? Or as a prototype despite the details that are rather movies-style?

Yes, just like putting together a model kit, only you make all the pieces yourself.

*sigh* The Republic is not Constitution-class...

He arbitrarily decided that the Republic and Farragut were Constitution-class, despite there being NO indications of class in the dialogue. Go watch "Court Martial" and "Obsession" to see what I mean.

Sorry I've been here too long, was that a real response or a sarcastic response?

No, a sarcastic response would have been "yes, 3D is done like that all in all, with triangles big and small", which it wasn't.

I have nothing further.

Okay took a while, but here's an update....

I had lots of fun trying to make the secondary hull. I attempted to stay faithful to the design from the Technical manual, but there were a few inconsistancies. From the top and side views the engineering hull seems to flare out at the midline behind the nick (not a circle, an ovoid)and then come back to a circle by the shuttlebay. This is not so on the FJ blueprints, there the dimensions are correct. I tried for a while to reproduce the flawed look but it was rather unattractive. Instead I built it by hand and it looks quite good so far. I'm going to correct a few things that were roughed in and then on to the struts and nacelles.

Hey nice job there. Once your done with this ship do you plan on making any other Franz Joseph designs?

Probably make a scout/destroyer and a tug afterwards.
