[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] So I bought a bunch of models off eBay, and bought paint, glue, styrene, blades and files etc., and went to work on my new model. I had since discovered that I needed Tamiya's Light Ghost Gray for the primer instead of the Testor's Light Gloss Blue. As I started re-building a new Rigel class model, I also had another idea that was cooking on the back burner. I had always wanted to build a kitbash using a Galaxy saucer and a submarine for the secondary hull. I found a small Typhoon sub kit online for like 6 dollars. I originally wanted the sub to blend into the saucer, but that was just too much work for an amateur like me, so I settled for gluing the sub to the Galaxy neck. I was going to just make it a one-nacelled ship, with the nacelle on top of the conning tower, but I starting thinking about FJ's Ptolemy tug, and got a better idea. I ordered two more sub kits just to get their conning towers for the nacelle pylons (although I did use one sub hull as another transport container as you see in the pics). I experimented with making it look like the original Ptolemy, but as I stated in my faux email, I liked it better upside-down. The top of the Galaxy saucer is now the bottom of the Ptolemy saucer. I cut off the bridge and covered the hole with the bottom of the captain's yacht I used on the Tolstoy. It's basically a big sensor dome since the Ptolemy doesn't have a navigational deflector (I'll post a pic of the underside too). The connecting arms on each side of the sub's front are actually the nacelle pylons from the TOS Enterprise. The registry is one number short from the Yorkshire-class U.S.S. Denver, which was described as a transport ship, so basically this is my version of the Yorkshire class. More on the Tolstoy tomorrow... [/QB][/QUOTE]
