1/350 TOS Destroyer Bash. With Lights!!

[Forbin]

The PL 1/350 E bashed into a Franz Joseph Style destroyer, plus a saucer-mounted hangar and deflector.

I'm happy that all the lights worked after all the manhandling of painting. I'm totally bummed that the motor in the nacelle broke before I took any pictures. Well, it looks okay without the spinny thing in still pictures. And yep, I went with TMP purple for the warp engine.

Lotsa photos here:

Best of the Bashers strikes again! Phenomenally great work as usual.

The modifications to the Azrael to make her a less typical Saladin is truly the icing on the cake.

Sucks that the motor in the nacelles conked out before you could even show them working though.

I take it its named after the one in the Starship Farragut ep?

Best looking TOS Destroyer in all of the Internet here

The name is taken from Franz Joseph's original list of names in the 1975 ST Tech Manual!

I managed to replace the broken motor without destroying the destroyer. Maybe I'll take some video this weekend.

The sauce mounted deflector is the best solution I've ever seen, love it.

Awesome! I especially like all the weathering you've done.

Ahh i guess they did too then ^_^;

Hmm I need my Trek books more often as i have the 1986 copy of it still.

Yeah, but you can't beat the deflector dish hanging out of the lower sensor dome.

It's another beauty Mr. Payne.

Yeah. I think I accept most of Forbin's bashes in my personal canon.

Somebody did a bash (or at least a drawing) with the deflector at the bottom of the neck, above the nacelle. I thought that was elegant. I like this idea for the deflector just as much. I always thought something was "wrong" with having the deflector dish mounted to the middle of the saucer. Of course, I also thought the sensor dome was the phaser bank.

Now there's a nice compliment! Thanks!

That was me too, but it was based on Warped9's design, which was based on Masao's pre-TOS designs.
