[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bernd: [QB] Let me start with some considerations on how the ship was actually assembled. The only two reference photos: [URL=http://www.shiporama.org/images/kyushu1.jpg]http://www.shiporama.org/images/kyushu1.jpg[/URL] [URL=http://www.shiporama.org/images/kyushu2.jpg]http://www.shiporama.org/images/kyushu2.jpg[/URL] My preliminary reconstruction: [URL=http://www.uni-siegen.de/~ihe/bs/startrek/schematics/neworleans.jpg]http://www.uni-siegen.de/~ihe/bs/startrek/schematics/neworleans.jpg[/URL] The saucer is definitely a Galaxy type saucer with scratched windows combining two decks to one. I don't care much about the lifeboat sizes, they are just rectangles and not necessarily the same as of the Galaxy. The bridge could be taken from the 18" model while the saucer could be from the 10" version. However, the bridge looks less detailed than the Cheyenne bridge. Maybe it is supposed to represent another version, or the 18" bridge was just not available, or the image is just blurred. Could the additional pods be textmarkers? I think we can assume the two top and the one bottom pod have exactly the same size and shape. In the top view the nacelles look a bit different (less wide) than the Galaxy nacelles, however, the bottom view clearly shows they are the same type (only much smaller!). The pylons could be made of any bended polystyrene part, they are probably not modified Galaxy pylons as in my preliminary schematic. The enginering hull causes some problems. First, it is a significantly extended Galaxy engineering hull. I can't imagine how they actually could assemble two hulls and nevertheless obtain a harmonic curvature. Second, I'm not so sure about the neck. It is a modified GCS neck and it has to be a lot less steep or a piece has to be cut off, since the bottom view shows the engineering hull is very close to the saucer. However, the top view looks as if it were exactly the same size and steepness of the GCS neck (maybe less steep, though). Finally, the engineering hull front end is straight beneath the saucer center, maybe even in front of it. If I'm right with my estimation, the Galaxy forward torp launcher would already be partially inside the saucer, so I didn't draw it, although there is something like a launcher visible in the bottom view.
