The thing I'd really like to know is what they did with the aft end of the nacelles to give them that squared off appearance. They either:
a) Trimmed the ends off leaving the nacelles slightly shorter than a Miranda. Or...
b) Built them up so they're the same length but don't taper.
I've never been completely convinced of either alternative. There are various schematics that support either and the photos of the model I've seen are unconclusive.

I've seen pictures of the Constellation studio model. It's quite big. Large enough to house all the supports and electronics needed to mount and light it.

I'd like to get a look at those pics, I like the studio models... I heard the Ambassador model was dropped, this being the reason we never saw it during the Dominion war... Regards Jb

I can't see the picture because I am getting a message that the page can't be found. Can somebody email me the picture @ [email protected]? thankx

its because J.B. old boy put it on Geocities, who dont like people using their webspace to simply post pictures on message boards because it fucks them out of the all valuable you-seeing-their-pop-up-window-and-immediately-closing-it-without-reading-it-or-giving-a-shit advertising time.
try visiting his website http://www.geocities.com/msdman2002/, and then type in the extra ' constellationclass.jpg ' at the end of the address and it will show it to you.
And hopefully jb will realize he's annoying us by doing this and just link us to his site and make a small html file for his picture next time. you DO want to stop upsetting us, dont you jb?
in fact i'll write it for you {html} {head} {title}Constellation MSD{/title} {/head} {body} {img SRC="constellationclass.jpg"} {/body} {/html}
replace all the '{' with '<' and the '}' with '>', name the file, put it on your site, and link to it so we dont have to deal with geo-madness anymore, hmm?

The Constellation class studio model definetely can't be a kitbash. I've seen the "Valkyrie" model at the Star Trek Exhibition in Cologne a couple of years back. The Model was about 1.5 meters long. No chance of any AMT parts being used on that one.

a kitbash by any other name...
The term kitbash as referring to the Constell. is accurate. It wasnt made from pieces of the AMT or any model kit, but instead probably from pieces created from the Constitution molds (explaining the size) But its still kitbashed, just not from an actual 'kit'
