The very same drydock structure, but a much bigger ship. Nice image, though.

I don't know, those drydocks look pretty modular to me. I could imagine a variety of sizes available that would look practically identical.

AHHHHHHHHHH this must be the new calendar that Margaret Clark from S&S was mentioning to me when I quizzed her on the whys and whynots of new 'beauty' shots for upcoming releases... and how the Season 1 DS9 picture... is used over and over and OVER again - and that the only other 'beauty' shot of DS9 is from season 2 - with the runabout, DS9 and wormhole. She said that there was going to be another 'ds9' in the 2001 calendar...

Even though the Galaxy in that dock is a scaling error, I believe Andrew Probert originally meant the drydock to be not only modular, but also extendable. That is, it would move in and out to accommodate ships of different sizes. It would be nice to see some of that in the dockyard scenes.

Well, they're off to a good start!

Is this THE Trekship-book to buy, or are there other upcoming projects? I want to buy one but I need to know it's the best choice.
