Hello,
Here is something that started out as basic templates in order to make a 1/350th background model for my TOS E and got carried away. I looked around and couldn’t find a set of DY-100 blueprints I liked, so these have evolved over the past few days. I know that there are a few kits out there, 1/350th and ½ studio scale, but that’s no fun.
I have a few pics of the SS model that I was able to extract basic dimensions and proportion from and I am pretty happy with the results. I am looking for a clear picture of the part on the bottom of the very aft bulkhead. If anyone has info they can share I would be interested in adding it to the drawings.
Please before anyone start down the “Studio Scale model part secrecy road”, I DO NOT want to know what kit it's from. I don’t plan on building a studio scale version, just a 1/350th version, plus I want the drawings to be as close as possible.
The other parts are easily identified as car oil pans and supercharger risers. Also they used the same grill material as on the Enterprise's pylons for the antenna array. Copy/pasted that right over from my Enterprise drawings, fit perfectly.
These are just the draft, done at studio scale 43 + inches long and are by no means complete or perfect. So any feedback is encouraged.
