In the phase II design, the superstructure had a docking port on each side of the bridge. While planned, it never got onto the model, but the desk 14 torpedo bay of TMP, would have been the weapons deck on the phase II model, having both phaser batteries and torpedo launchers (I forget the source of that).

A pair of phaser banks on the "neck" facing due starboard/port would be a nice touch. Mabye a single forward facing torp launcher on there? It looks far too thin for two (unless they're vertically mounted- an idea I dig very much).

Wiz, have you forgotten your old password or something? If so, it can be mailed to you rather than you creating a new account.

Yep. That's me.
I'm wondering if any of you followed THIS thread over at the that other BBS some of you don't seem to like, on the art forum. A talented CGI artist was building the Phase II ship, and got it about 95% complete (no textures, though). It's based closely on the Phase II blueprints by Joe Jennings and Matt Jefferies that I have in my collection (and were the basis of the Constitution II in Ships of the Star Fleet) and are now posted on Phil Broad's website -- HERE.

Problem is that I no longer have my original email account and when I tried to set up the new one, I goofed and Charles hasn't been able to correct it for me.

A friend of mine already offers a 2500th Phase II kit. And the Ringship...and Deadalus...and a Romulan War-era BOP...
My models are almost exclusivly from the Dominion War era: mixing in too many older ships looks....odd.

Very nice ideas in that link. I think the torpedo launcher would be better served with a single rectangular launcher instead of that cyclopean rounded version.
Bueatiful work on the nacelles.
