Gotcha... I've got a mirror on the way, then... Hope that's OK by all involved, and that this isn't the start of some slippery slope where these pictures end up plastered on the walls of a Moscow alleyway.
Edit... right-eo... Here's hoping this won't trigger another spastic snippyfest http://the.tom.8m.com/cosmic_ratatouille/dsn601_a_time_to_stand/index.html The server shouldn't have a bandwidth attack in the unlikely event that every Trek fan online will descend on these pictures like vultures with schemes of using them to seduce Jessica Alba.
Edit again... thanks Dat... done.

Even though Drexler gave his blessing to distribute the pics, please remember his request that he not be credited for supplying them in the first place. So do note that on your websites should you let the rest of the world know about them.

This ship could even be a forerunner of the Constellation class, with the way those pylons look. And the Constellation class was in service until at least the start of TNG, so why is it unreasonable to conclude that this ship couldn't be in service for 75+ years?

this resembles a 'fast destroyer' refit version of the franz joseph saladin/hermes-class.. the only difference being these nacelles are upside down... im not sure where the fan-bash version is from tho

Here's another reply to an email I sent to Drexler...make of it what you will. My questions are in italics.
Upon discussing the kitbash photos with the other members of the Wolf 359 team, I was reminded that you originally said there were 16 photos, although I received 14. Were there two others that you didn't send, or did you just miscount?
Send me the numbers and I will check them against my files!
Do you know if any of the ships were ever relabeled "U.S.S. Curry"? There was some rumor at the rec.arts.startrek.tech newsgroup years ago that one of the kitbashes was named after Dan Curry.
I would not be at all surprised, although I don't have a shot of it. That model might have been lost or even taken home by Dan.
In one of DS9's sixth season episodes, "The Sound of Her Voice" showed the wreckage of the U.S.S. Olympia, crashed on a planet. However, it was very hard to make the ship out in the scene. Do you have any idea what parts the wreckage was made from?
That's a good question and I don't have the answer. That was a Gary Hutzel show and Gary is elsewhere these days. That reminds me I should call him!
Finally, when "Emissary" premiered, Robert Legato, then VFX dept. head, had made a preliminary Wolf 359 shot, incorporating both the wreckage of models originally built for "Best of Both World's", and new ships & wreckage. However, the footage was never shown once the script changed. Would you know anything about this, such as if there were any new ship designs? Would you know how or if I'd be able to get in touch with Legato?
Last I heard Legato was at Digital Domain, but not sure. I don't want to discourage you but I would guess he wouldn't remember.

And now here's something you might enjoy..
I drew a paint scheme accurate schematic of the connie variant... BTW, I hate calling it the 'connie variant'.. thats like saying the Miranda is a connie variant, but since we all refer to it as a 'connie' i figured a name that starts with 'con' would be appropo.. ok, here's the: whadddaya tink?

Since the FJ's schematics were spotted in TWOK it seams reasonable
