I want to see more (and accurate!) schematics of the Valdoe, Scimitar and....more Sternbach articles!

Perhaps this is dead old and has been discussed millions of times before, but doesn't Wesley's Academy Trainer on these pics look remarkably like being made from parts of the Revell Voyager Kit??

I think it's more like a combination of the front section of the Marquis fighter and the cockpit of Voyager's Type 12 shuttles. I don't really see any Voyager in there.

I tihnk they did. I saw it on Spike's site and it looks similar. One thing I forgot to put on the wish list was the USS Righteous main bridge, turbolift, Main Engineering and whatever other rooms were in ST Borg. I saw some vidcaps of the Righteous bridge and it is similar to the Enterprise-B and Excelsior in that they used the Enterprise-A bridge as it's base. The bridge had the captain's chair in the middle, a ops/conn in one in front a level lower and in back of the command chair, an msd showing a regular Excelsior class facing starboard with sone signage. I could not see a dedication plaque but I suspect there was one. I need to look at them again with a closer eye.

@Dr. Phlox: I've got my Revell Voyager Kit right next to me at the moment and the engineering hull is exactly the same shape as the part they used in the academy trainer. Imagine Voyager's foldable nacelles in the place where the trainer's winglets are, the Voyager shuttlebay (cut into) at the aft end of the trainer. And the cockpit is where normally the spine on the Voyager saucer would connect with the engineering hull. No?

Ah, I thought you were referring to the saucer, I suppose I can see where you're coming from now. Afterall, I think it looks like the Type 12 shuttle, which in turn looks like the Intrepid. Makes you wonder if the Trainer design had any influence on the Intrepid(although I think it was probably a coincidence). Does anyone know who designed the Academy Trainer?
