Ambassador Class REFERENCES NEEDED
« on: January 04, 2010, 11:24:29 PM »
Hey guys.  To begin with, I'm on the hunt for a really good set of Ambassador schematics.  I've done some checking but am not really satisfied.  If you have some, or know where I can get some good ones, could you please post here.

Timing! I found my brothers old Star Trek Fact Files the other day and scanned in a load of schematics at crazy high res, including ones for the Ent-C. I've got either the 3 seperate images (each about 10,000 x 10,000 and around 250 MB) or all 3 peiced together (at 26,781 x 11,681 and 375 MB) but the latter may have some errors around where I peiced the images together. I can, of course, scale them down to whatever size you'd prefer first.


If anyone else is interested in any of the other schematics, drop me a PM and I'll see what I can do.

One of Wiley's many thousands of projects.

Not wrong, just that the JLS Ambie serves well for early TNG era (and its very good too).

The JLS is a very nice model...but you can never have enough selection....some models it seems are done to death....and as much as DJ likes to build and design his own ships....i think there is a certain joy for all modelers to build cannon designs...with a bit of artistic licesnse...such as the lack of torpedo tubes on the Ambassador Class model from TNG:Yest Ent and the shots from DS9 Emmissary when we see Wolf359....

How so? Apart from the phasers around the shuttlebay it looks entirely canon to me.

Honestly I still believe they should have better aft phaser and ventral phaser coverage, I know its been discussed to death

Personally I love this ambassador http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/JL_Studios_Ambassador;97003x but I need to adjust somethings on it like I believe a dominion war version where it manuevers better, stronger shields, and maybe slightly stronger weapons, although they pack more than enough punch to take down a KM keldon

DJ is there a class you can't model?

Glad to see you've moved into the 24th Century.

The studio model built for TNG had to be finished quickly which explains lack of ventral phaser coverage and no visable torpedo launchers and why the Ambie doesn't match the original planned Ambie design.

DJ if I were you I'd add a ventral array like most references include despite it not being on the Enterprise. Although I do recall a shot in Deep Space Nine of an Ambie firing phasers from that region during the Battle of Wolf 359.
