well, I've done some calculations:  The average turnaround time for one of my mods from first appearance to release is 9 months.  It's like I'm pregnant and giving birth to ships.
Hmmm, wonder what your wife thinks of that? :P

The wife is happy so long as she's not renting her womb anymore.  This womb is off limits.  The husband can propagate the species with his b@st@rd ship offspring all he likes so long as it's not from this womb.

If someone has a copy of Mr Scotts guide laying around could scan them in for you. If I remember correctly it has front, back, top, bottom and side views all 1:1 scale with each other and I would imagine they came from the studio.

I got a copy of that book I will see if I can get the scanner running in a few to get some pics of it.

*Edit*
No Joy there my scanner isnt working right I will be working on it later today see if I can get it working.
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

I believe that if you have the ST: Encyclopedia (the one with ST: Insurrection bits in), at the back there are scaled drawing of most ship in Trek.
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

DJ, Does this mean that you are gearing up to make a refit version also?

   This just keeps getting more exciting by the minute.

Don't bother.  Mine may not be quite what you're expecting.

Does that mean you'll be adding some creative license to her like you did with the Ambassador's new aztek pattern?  Because it worked wonders for the Ambassador :D.  Of course, didn't they add an aztek pattern to the original Constitution class in newer shows like DS9 and Enterprise?

Well this is a surprise. DJ made this thread almost exactly 2 years ago, and the thread has been dormant for a long time since. And now with the hint of an upcoming present to the community? Hmm...

*Spock's voice* Fascinating :D

I wonder how this enterprise will compare to mine. I'm looking forward to see it.

Im going to take a few guesses as to which one he could be working on....

Wow! Can you say "Wild Speculation"? :p

That took some serious research! Very entertaining post! Quite a few designs I didn't know about, ranging from the bizarre to the sublime.

Vektor's version has always been my favourite. I try to close my eyes and imagine how much more homely the movie would have been with that design!
