[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bernd: [QB] Timo: Nice suggestions about the desktop model. I think this particular Nebula could be ferrying those nacelles indeed. Another possibility is that the Nebula is used as a testbed for the small nacelles. Maybe this is actually the first Nebula ever built (the USS Nebula NX-60xxx), and unlike the other ships that made it into regular service, it is still in experimental status. It is also possible that the secondary hull was shortened for the subsequent ships, and only the USS Nebula retained the long hull. I know that locomotive prototypes are often used as test vehicles, since the differences to the series models are too many to employ them for daily service (difficulties with maintenance and spare parts). I should have a better image of the Future Imperfect Nebula somewhere, so I could measure the nacelles. If this model was made from two AMT kits (the big and the small Enterprise-D kit), the scale would be obvious, this case the small nacelles would be 56% the length of the large ones. I will try to draw a 2D sketch. [/QB][/QUOTE]
