*really hopes Erick names the ship in accordance with a reference from The Simpsons* Posted by EdipisReks (Member # 510) on :
damn that looks awesome. if you made molds and came up with a resin model kit of that, i would definitely buy it (assuming quality was high, which i'm sure it will be considering the quality of your models).
on another topic, Fructose, your Enterprise-C looks incredible. www.starfleetyards.com is still down, apparently, so do you think you could post the paint colors of your Enterprise-C here? i've e-mailed Jay Aycock about it, but i haven't gotten any response (i'm not sure if the address i have is still valid).

btw, i'm assuming that Akayazi you have on your preview page is a model kit. because of that is scrath made (using CNC, or whatever), then all i gotta say is .

would U.S.S. Shelbyville qualify both as a Springfield/Simpsons reference and as a BoBW/Shelby reference?
How bout U.S.S. North Haverbrook Posted by Matrix (Member # 376) on :
I am having trouble trying to get onto the site? Anyone else? It can't be me, because I can go on any other site (I checked).
Posted by EdipisReks (Member # 510) on :
the site works absolutely perfectly for me.

So what *is* the dorsal pod piece you are using? Something scratchbuilt? Or a pre-existing hinged cover of... what?

That's some fantabulous craftsmanship, sugar flyboy. Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Just call it "USS Homer". A "Simpsons" reference, and a plausible Starfleet-given name...

A sister ship for the Odyssey? Posted by Fructose (Member # 309) on :
The pod is a scratch build. Just something I sketched out to look like the pictures. And I was thinking about naming it USS Chekov, since that's the only name we know of. But Shelbyville isn't a bad idea. (Not Homer though. Ugh.) The Akyazi is a kit I bought online from www.mcdanielmodels.com. And The paint scheme for the Enterprise-C is a light gray base, flanker medium blue for the light blue and flanker blue gray for the dark blue. (Or the other way around, I can't remember for sure.) The nacelles use copper and a mix of red and black to make a very dark red. Oh, and the dome on the bottom of the saucer is jet exaust, I think. They are all Testors colors.
I'll probably have it done in a week or two, depending on when I get the decals I need. I'll keep you posted.

Are you keeping that captain's yacht as one? It otherwise looks awfully small for one.
Posted by EdipisReks (Member # 510) on :
thanks for the color list!
Posted by Fructose (Member # 309) on :
Sure thing. And I'm going to leave the captain's yacht. I figure it's a smaller version of the big one on the Ent-D. Besides, it's a little late now.
