I wish it was a 1:1 with the original. I'm using a mix and match process here. A 1/1400 ent-c secondary hull, a 1/2500 ent-d saucer with a 1/1400 ent-c bridge and the pahsers re-arranged. It's just my approximation, so I wouldn't consider it accurate. And some how I came up with slightly shorter nacelles than the 1/1400 ent-d. I'd have to go through my notes again to see how I came to that conclusion though. But I can always get full sized ones if you guys think that's more accurate. They aren't attached yet.

I'm fairly sure that the secondary hull and nacelles should be to the same scale...it's just that the Fact Files made them look oversized. At least, from the studio model it certainly looks like they could be regular Galaxy-sized, and it's more likely Jein used those than some custom-resized ones.

Okay, sorry. I just thought you were asking whether you should use one scale nacelles or another. I just mean that if your Ambassador hull is 1/1400, than the nacelles should be 1/1400 as well...

I might be a little behind reguards this princeton issue, but did anyone notice that it had Arboretum windows? Does that point to a Neb/Gal connection as to what was the original part used for the saucer?

I noticed it yesterday during my depressive phase, but it could be anything. But I don't think there's a reson not to assume those are arboretum windows. Anyway, the Ambassador-phasers and the not-round-not-yet-really-elliptical saucer and the Galaxy-arboretum and Ambassador-bridge and Galaxy-nacelles and Ambassador-hull could point out that Jein wanted to create a ship being the unknown step between Galaxy- and Ambassador-class.
