That was probably a dig of some kind, but I didn't get it, because I don't know what an Elkins is.

My theory is the USS Klkins is named after Elkins,West Virginia

Not a dig: Actually, the Elkins might be more accurate. I actually love the Elkins: I think she's a better looking ship than the Intrepid. You will as well..... http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=1755600&uid=657989 The first photo. Two main deflectors would make Geordi's "borg buster" weapon feasable (and they had to have broken the Borg's subspace field somehow! before Enterprise E arrived in FC!)
While Stephen is far far behind the kitbash curve, his model will be in a larger scale than my own, so i forgive him his procrastination. Plus, few people can make a nice looking model from a Intrepid, a Runabout and an F-14 Tomcat.

Your theory is very wrong.
The ship is named for Judy Elkins, VFX coordinator on DS9 and animator for TWOK.

No, because i didn't SEE Mr. Neutron's picture in this thread actually he hasn't even POSTED in this thread! Plus,it doesn't have all the sucky writing over it and it's a clearer cap.

What the hell is the USS Elkins' secondary hull made of?

THe Elkin's studio model is made from a Voyager kit, A Runabout and a pair of Connie Refit nacelles (though mine are modified Constalation nacelles) and a F-14 Tomcat hull turned backwards (using it's dual jet engines-with modifications and deflector emitters- as the secondary hulls. The very rear of the cockpit is the sloped shuttlebay.

It wasn't aware that labeling items for identification qualified the writing as "sucky".

What I still don't get is why you think it's my favourite ship.
