The model itself is a highly modified Ambassador class that has a lengthened secondary hull and new saucer details with new phaser placments.
What do you guys think?

Great job Jason. It never ceases to amaze me what you can do to your models. I like the inclusion of the sketch to see what you basically had to start with. Keep up the good work! Posted by Griffworks (Member # 1014) on :
As always, kewel job, Jason. Amazes me just how nice you can make those lil' 1/2500 scale ships look, dude.
Your version of the Apollo Reminds me of my U.S.S. Truman model, which was meant to be the predecessor to the Nebula design more so than the Miranda.

Was that supposed to be the Heimdall? Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
It's spelled that way on my model, but my crappy typing skills are making me look sily: gotta correct the post. Happens: I have'nt slept in a while. Posted by SoundEffect (Member # 926) on :
Nice model Jason! That's a cool design...if only we could've seen the real thing on screen!
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Yeah, but never would have worked as the Pegasus without major script tweaking: that'd be TONS of people participating in a illeagal act instead of twenty or thirty.

All they needed to do was enlarge the bridge and the windows. Instant resizing!
Nice work, Jason.

Did they ever state the crew size of the Pegasus? I thought it was more a case of a handful of people who were AGAINST the mutiny, including Riker and Pressman.

Never stated, no, but a couple of guys on a ship as large as the Apollo class would not get very far. Nor would it be possible to perform such illeagal experiments for long without someone sneaking a communication back to Starfleet. The story just works better with a very small ship.

You guys got any TNG/DS9 era ships you'd like to see made? Original designs welcomed.

Akira and Steamrunner-esque starships from other eras. TOS/Connie, Movie-era, Ambassorized...
Mark <--- That'll show 'em!

Why did you move the pylons and nacelles back from the center of the saucer as shown in the drawing?
More First Contact concept ships - Zandura, Goodson , 1st Steamrunner concept , The Endaveor concept - I heard there were 16 designs altogether but only 4 made it to the movie plus the ones that at least a sketch exists.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
It looked odd with the nacelles making a backward "Z" against the angle of the pylons and I'd already decided to lengthen the secondary hull as a challenge to myself and to make it more of a unique class and not just a re-arrangment of available parts.

Ok will you do the Valdore?
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
NO....Ravenstar Studios is already going to make the Valdore this year and I'd hate to do all that work when I could have just waited. Same reason why I'm not building a New Orleans.
I am probably going to bite the modeling bullet and make a Springfield (not looking forward to carving those nacelles though....).
I've got a nice Olympic class by Tim Lindsey that I've given added shuttlebays to that I'm finishing tonight. One of the shuttlebays is going to be open with a small shuttle inside. I really have to make the Son'a command ship to gowith my battleship though. It's going to be a real bitch to make too: it's all complex curves. Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
