I finally had to do my own version, although I make no claims to its ultimate accuracy. And before you ask, no, I can't send you a picture of it; I don't have a scanner. I'm currently putting together a package to send to shipschematics.net. It'll have Cochise and Cygnus, as well as my take on Pytheas (I reverse engineered an earlier version of it as well). I also did a twenty page development package of the Ptolemy class, and I'm currently working on my version of a TOS precursor to Soyuz, the Vostok.

And at least some reshaping of the aft end to make it distinct from the LN-64.<br /><br />As for the Detroyats, all we really have is a side view. Modelers tend to extrapolate a boxy secondary hull out of that, but what if you made it into a sleek, rounded keel shape? And it's nice to have a saucer that isn't a mere Constitution kitbash. TNG has shown that not all Starfleet saucers of a given era are identically shaped (even though the Wolf 359 and DS9 kitbashes suggest that there is SOME merit to the theory that TOS-era ships were made mostly of rearranged standard components...).<br /><br />Still, perhaps the Detroyat could use one of those old "The Cage" style high-domed bridge modules planted atop the flat saucer mesa...<br /><br />Timo Saloniemi <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Identity Crisis</b> <br /><small>Member # 67</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,2,27,2,55,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">March 27, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">02:55 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Originally posted by Timo:<br /><strong>As for the Detroyats, all we really have is a side view.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Not true.
