[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Some further musing about the "Future Imperfect" Nebula model: The nacelles atop the stern seem identical to Galaxy or Nebula nacelles in shape, despite their smaller size. OTOH, the size seems to come quite close to that used by you and others for the New Orleans nacelles (which are a bit lengthened, though, as you point out). Now, I keep thinking of those "five-engined" B-747s that ferry spare engines on their port wings. Perhaps this specific Nebula was ferrying these bulky and probably ultra-heavy starship components to a distant yard or a distressed starship? Every good scale model kit of a jet fighter should contain the mundane cargo pods in addition to the more flashy missiles and bombs - so every starship model worth its price ought to have the optional cargo sling as well. And Riker (or the alien kid running the fantasy) might have fancied using this option on his model to make it different from the models found on the desktops of other captains. The question then becomes, which starship type would this specific cargo be destined for? And the answer is, of course, Freedom or Niagara. Those could definitely use a canonically confirmed nacelle that's shaped like the Galaxy one, but is smaller to go with the downscaled saucer! Bernd, can you do the honors from that blurry picture (or the better one at Miarecki's home page) to see if they would fit? Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
