Shuttlecraft "Halley"?

According to the "Mr.Scott's guide to the Enterprise" book, it is indicated that the HALLEY is the shuttlecraft 1 of the Enterprise.
Since this is the unofficial / non-canon file, I dared have chosen the HALLEY.

Very Cool.

Very much in the style of the covers I have seen of the Star Trek Fact Files. I couldn't tell it was any different except that Fake Files replaced Fact Files. Well done. Posted by CaptainMike20X6 (Member # 709) on :
with a name like Fake Files i would've snuck a reference to the Enterprise-class, Avenger-class and possibly the dreadnought Entente NCC-2120 onto there.. but then who can be bothered to keep up with my wit..

CaptainMike that will be in issue 2. Posted by Masao (Member # 232) on :
Nice work, Masaki!
Are you buying all these Fact Files? I haven't bought any.

Yes! I am subscribing to the Fact Files from DeAGOSTINI Japan.
Great work! What font are you using for the name? I've been looking for something closer to the proper "Galileo" typeface for ages, without much success.

Is this supposed to be the courier craft used by Spock, or the unseen starship auxiliary depicted in that unused matte painting?
Jackill's did a couple of variants, more or less based on the two Probert originals - here is their take on the light starship auxiliary: Chisu. A couple of those would certainly fit aboard a refitted Constitution, but the bigger courier craft (or any 13.8 m long variant) would have trouble with the elevators. OTOH, any craft smaller than 13.8 m would be unlikely to seat 2+6 (height-wise if the shape is constant, that is).

Shuttle name's font is "Swing ".

Excellent! Now where could I get that without paying for it? Not that I'm a total cheapskate mind *cough* I'm just a little unemployed and destitute at the moment.

But, I suspect the script on shuttle Galileo was handpainted by some sign painter rather than being a commercial font. It looks rather simpler and noninform (screencap of side of shuttle from "The Galileo 7"). Of course, if shuttle names were handpainted, I wouldn't worry too much about matching the font exactly anyway!

Double post: I mistook the "quote" command for the "edit" command!

Triple post!

Yeah, 'Freestyle' is what I've been using too, it works well enough I suppose but it would be nice to have something closer to the original. Perhaps this can be a challenge to our Font makers? I know there are a few of them on this board. What say you chaps, think you can reproduce the old Galileo/Copernicus typeface?
As for 'Swing' I suspect that this (or something similar) is the font that was used on the Delta Flyer so it'd be nice to have it in that respect.

The "a" is too small. Somebody didn't check their x-height...
(I hated my typography class....)

13.8m, it is too large and an elevator is not fitted so that you may say. I made the size of the shuttle smaller.
You, sir, ROCK.

Masaki, you are totally awesome on your work. Are you going to make more profiles in English because that shuttle Halley is totally awesome.
Keep up the great work!!
Cheers,
Sarvek

Great work on the shuttle. Look forward to the plans for the VIP lounge, which is what we should've seen as the Obs. lounge in Trek V.

Masaki,
That's fantastic work. I've never thought of this possibility, but it would be a great idea to present PDF supplements to the Fact Files (only that there might be a problem with the publishers even if they are named Fake Files).
