Deck Plans VI: The Undiscovered Bowling Alley
- Thread starter Captain Robert April
- Start date
Forward running light. Taken out in the next refit.
Oh, and the escape pods are gone with the next set of drawings. As Shaw has pointed out, the primary hull is the lifeboat, and in most situations, leaving the primary hull behind is almost always a very bad idea. Plus, dumping the escape pods frees up lots of space for crew quarters.
Butting in.
Back when I drew more, I made all my lifeboats inflatables. Think of an Oreo cookie, the creamy part was like an balloon, a sphere with a tough skin that could withstand re-entry. the chocolate parts of the cookie, one (the top) had life systems, communications and food. the other cookie had engines, power and a docking adaptor.
A whole line of these were stored next to the docking ports, arms would place them one at a time on the ports, the sphere would inflate to five or ten metres.
Saved a lot of room on the ship.
I had them under the rust colored semi-circle on the upper surface of the primary hull, partially as a justification for that particular feature. I think it came to around ten large escape pods.
So, anybody know how to Madison?
I think I might dovetail this with the other project I've been threatening to do, the E-A....
The main thing is the difference between the two engine rooms of the refit and the -A. Just taking that old cutaway poster and slapping an A on the end of the registry just doesn't cut it.
Obviously, I'm gonna attach the same meanings to those hatches on the E-A as I have to the original version.

Does anybody happen to have the cross section of the refit from "Mr. Scott's Guide To the Enterprise"? The decal guide for the PL 1/350 E-A model would be nice, too.
You're a gentleman and a scholar.
I scanned Mr scott's cutaway. However I am limited by photobucket to 1024 pixels wide. The actual scan is 8000, anyone have any ideas how I can host this?

Can't help you with the decal guide for the PL 1/350 E-A model though, sorry.

Star Trek LCARS Blueprint Database hosts scans on large scales like that. You might have to scan ALL the schematics in that book as your donation though...

Is the original scan under 1Mb? If so, you can set up photobucket to use that as the file limit instead of 1024 pixels. If you click "more options" under the "Upload images & videos" button, you get a window where you can pick that option.
Nope, it's over 4 MB! I may go down the LCARS route, I'm a big fan of that site. In the short term, I have borrowed some space at the following location: http://www.mytran.talktalk.net/Bigpic.jpg
I'll keep it posted until Monday, in case anyone is interested.
