Huh! So that’s where the Niven first appeared. Looks like it started off its life as an AMT kitbash. Cool find... never seen that one before.

Indeed and only cost me 10$ [Smile]

Hopefully i find another and send it to someone within the ship design fandom with a document scanner so its contents can be added to the various online databases [Smile]

Or check your public library. They might have a scanner you can use for free.

Your library actually checks what you're scanning?

I work in a library with scanners and a photocopier, and we've never told anybody what they may or may not scan. I mean, if they were scanning porn and putting it right up on the computer screen, we'd stop them, but not because of copyright.

Found and contacted Bernard Reischl on Facebook through his company Prometheus Graphics. He has a portfolio on his website with much better schematics of the USS Niven. This publication was a one-off, no others planned in the series.

Even if it didn't say 1989, just looking at the cover screams late 80s early 90s Trek. Like made during ST:VI era.
