"Can I be of... assistance?"
First post - first replica scratch build for me, hope I'm not in the wrong place....
The Spaceship Pisces was in Episode 4 of the show, and was depicted as a long range scout ship sent out from the Starlost Ark. It had a crew complement of 3 and an (in-show narrated) size of "60m long, 10m wide, 20m deep with a 12000 m^3 displacement" and was powered by "twin gigomatic(?) reactors".
I've not seen any photos of the studio model, so am hoping to work backward from the kit bits evident to figure out the size of the studio model, as I can't locate any details online. I've blocked out the ship shape and proportions already.
I've attached the best stills of these areas, and included a still of the the 1:1 studio model so I can work backward as the actor standing next to the doors is Lloyd Bochner, who was 5'10.5" according to IMDB - so 6' given the boots his character was wearing (...it was the 70's...) (Working from that set piece scale, I've worked out the entire ship should have been 7.5m tall, 17.5m wide and 31m long - no-where even close to the narrated in show size)
Specifically, I'l looking for any assistance identifying sources of the following, which I'm speculating are kit pieces:
1) The circular shape on the nose with the 14 (or 16) spheres in a ring, looks mildly domed in the middle
2) The circular shape on the top of each "wing" with 12(?) spheres in a ring
3) The three repeating pieces on the side of each "wing"
4) The three repeating pieces on either side of the tail section
4) The four repeating pieces running on either side of the dorsal ridge
Any tips, pointers, or suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
P.S. the episode can be found easily online, and the video seems clearer when watching than the stills I grabbed...
