Another spare parts bash

[Forbin]

I love Dreadnoughts .
This is an extra PNT Models 1/1000 DN 2ndary hull mated to a new Modular Models Surya class primary hull. Phaser emitters (teeny glass beads) were added in the FJ/Mastercom positions. Markings are based on JTGraphic's post-TOS-but-before-TMP design. Overall color is "Neutral gray" - I wanted something darker than usual for a battleship.

Awsome its like a TOS version of your Alexander Class

 

[HarryM]

Very impressive!

Cool modeling work, as always.

I like the built-up saucer section. Now it makes some technical sense.

Been wanting to use that since I read an Osprey history of Thermopylae.

[geek]why is the registry number over 2000? It suggests it post-dates the introduction of the Excelsior class[/geek]

It looks nice tho.

 

[Bernard Guignard]

Wow another one that we will need Schematics for great work there its a winner

 

[Psion]

That is gorgeous, Forbin! Good choice of colors, too. I actually like that design better than FJ's dreadnought.

 

[NickInABox]

That's an ugly baby, but I love it. I wonder what a 24th century version of it would look like!

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Beautiful work as always Forbin.

Nice to have more shuttle bays than the Federation class.

 

[Santaman]

Cooooool..

Not really. Since this is based on a Franz Joseph design, and FJ's tech manual assigned registry rnumbers not chronologically but rather by vessel type (i.e. scouts/destroyers are 6XX, heavy cruisers are 1XXX, dreadnoughts are 2XXX, and tugs are 3XXX), there's really no problem.

 

[Forbin]

Si, I tend to use the FJ system (or at least keep it in mind) when doing TOS bashes.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Have you ever considered modelling the Star Fleet Battles carrier (USS Pizza Cutter)?

Um, is that a TOS purist system?

Wow Nice build out Forbin.

I don't know what that is.

Define "TOS purist" in a way that doesn't make me think you're trying to be an insulting elitist.

Great model as usual. My hat is off to you sir. I would include an emoticon to that effect, but we don't have one. It is due in on Tuesday.

Any chance your going to put out a calendar like you did a few years ago?

I don't know what that is.

He's thinking of the Napoleon-class.
