[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [qb] Doesn't the Centaur model use a Miranda bridge instead instead of the Excelsior's bridge, thus making the saucer small than an Excelsior? I believe the window details in the model are also different, adding to the fact that it's a smaller ship. [/qb][/QUOTE]Not really.....although it is a bit confusing. The Excelsior was intended to be a 600 meter long ship: and the bridge reflects that. Buuuut, when TNG got rolling, they decided to make the excelsior 465 meters long (to illustrate the Galaxy's huge size) and so if you placed a Miranda and excelsior model next to each other, the Excelsior's bridge is actually (at 465 meters) much smaller than the Miranda/connie refit bridge! Dumb, I know, but it's the truth. So, we're forced to either consider the Excelsior's bridge to be recessed with only the sensor dome sticking out or just to ignore it. The two Centaur stlye ships I've built both have Miranda bridges, are both scaled as using an Excelsior sized saucer/nacelles and both look correct with the window placement of the studio model by using the windows from a GCS. See? http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=1301771&uid=657989 I even used a correctly scaled Miranda torpedo launcher, just for plausability's sake. :p [/QB][/QUOTE]
