Row 2 second to the right side looks like a TOS-Akiraprise.

As for Jackill's volume 3 - all of it. I have the first two and treasure 'em... But most importantly, I'm curious as to the other Excelsimbassador bashes were in the third book.
Mark
Mostly there are cool new shuttle designs (and a fighter I dont care for at all), many kitbashes on the Excelsior, a cool scout called the Loki class, an TMP era update on the unmanned Cargo Drone and several transports- including a cutaway of the Sydney class! A bueatiful starliner is in there -as well as some cool duterium tankers I've never seen before.
Sad to say, there's nothing Ambassador related in there.
I'll see about scanning it at work and sending you a PDF, if you like.

It's a PDF so it's no ssweat to sent to whoever wants it.
Handplacing all those pages is a chore so it may be a while to scan everything. I may just do the ships and skip some of the extranous text descriptions.

I was not really watching it- it droned on in the background while I started converting an NX-01 to the Intrepid.
Lore's Batman suit was cool though: they should have just had Lore disintigrate Data, get away and become the TNG villian they so badly needed in the last two seasons.
Sela (with her Moe hair) sure never came through on that end.
Think how much better Nemesis would have been if "B4" turned out to be a backup copy of Lore! Fuck- Spiner is SOOOOOOO much better playing a psychopath.

Could I get a copy of that .pdf when you finish scanning it?
I think the whole Sela plotline was completely wasted, she could have been a convincing villain had they written more stuff for the Romulans but the basin cut was hideous, why must the Romulans be shafted with the Vulcans' old terrible hair styles? They should have kept some of the TOS elements of the Romulans in beyond just the name and the pointy ears.
Re: Spiner and Lore, now that would have been fun, what happened to Lore after that ep.? Did he just get scrapped? Sent to SFC for research? Cannibalised for parts incase Data got injured?

Actually that would be something cool to have in the next Ships of the Line calendar - the S.S. Enterprise!
Agreed. But, irrespective of what the Encyclopedia says, it isn't the S.S. Enterprise, it's the U.S.S. Enterprise. How this works out, you'll have to figure for yourself, but that's what's on the original painting from TMP and it's also how it was designated in the old Spaceflight Chronology. Why the Okudas put it as "S.S." is a mystery.

Mabye it was built nad launched as a commercial venture before there was a "united" space service?
Possibly even some anti-vulcan private exploration venture within the solar system or a last gasp of commercialism in Trek's (somewhat) moneyless econemy...
Could be lotsa reasons.
As to scans: I'll start them tomorrow and break up the books into three volumes.

Because you gave the answer in your own post, because they are the Okudas
