Steve, just saw the latest installment of your video series. Thanks much for the kind words. It means a lot coming from you
You should've seen the first one I did years ago, though. Yikes, lol.
I tried to incorporate as many of the major details from the production model(s) as I could, based on all the research I did when planning out my 22" studio-scale Shuttlecraft (still a WiP).
I had thought about adding some of the smaller surface details, but from a realistic standpoint you'd only be able to see so much on such a small-scale model.
Not that I didn't want to, though. My anal-retentive standards for detail and accuracy can be a bit of a curse sometimes
Something not shown clearly in either my own pics or in the video is the small in-step on the port side nacelle. Just couldn't help myself in adding that detail to it, lol.
As for deciding which one to accompany your half-scale
Enterprise kit, keep in mind the smaller one is the correct size (based on some calculations I had from way back).
However, the size difference is fairly negligable, so you could probably get away with using the larger one, too. Given my afore-mentioned standards (like I said, a curse, lol), I wanted to make sure you had one that was to the proper scale.
Now just imagine what that would look like sitting in a properly-scaled shuttlebay?
Again, thanks for the compliments on my work. If anything, it should be
me thanking
you for being the opportunity to contribute in a (albeit small) way to your awe-inspiring project, Steve. I consider it both an honour and a privilege. So, thank you.
Keep up the fantastic work, my friend. I look forward to seeing more greatness with this :cool
