[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I bet a combination of the paint job and the typical Trek lighting will make the ships look suitably battle-scorched, though. The Constitution-bash looks like a veteran of a century of battles... The Centaur is a beautiful little ship. How little exactly is up to discussion now: the most identifiable pieces are the Miranda bridge, torp module and phaser cannon, so perhaps the ship should be scaled according to those. In that case the "shuttlebay" should definitely be a deflector, since it's too small to be practical for shuttle ingress/egress. Not all modern warships have helicopter hangars - and not all starships need shuttle hangars, not when there exists this thing called the transporter. The other ships probably have to be scaled according to their primary hulls. The Intrepid or Constitution hulls leave no room for speculation, and the 3-naceller and Shelley saucers retain the small Excelsior bridges and are otherwise very clearly recognizable as Excelsior offshoots. BTW, what the heck are those little boxes glued on both sides of the 3-naceller stern? In the original drawing, I thought they were poorly drawn Constitution impulse engines, but clearly they aren't. What purpose could they serve? What prompted the modelmaker to add these dangling bits? Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
