After working on the Ajax for rather a while now, I thought I would take some of the elements that I have built and try and add to the collection of ships that I'm building. At the moment I am working on ships from 'Ships of the Star Fleet: Vol 1'.
First up is the Endeavor - initially caught my eye as a candidate since I was intrigued by the intermediate design of the linear nacelles.
I had originally built the Endeavor using a secondary hull based off Charles Casimiro's 11 footer plans - it was pointed out that the design uses the more curvaceous secondary hull favoured by Jefferies and FJ. Once I had built this new version for the Endeavour, I was also able to use it to build the Achernar from the same volume.
Both are still WIPs and there is still some detail to add before I get down to texturing. Still trying to decide how to detail the inner side of the Endeavor's nacelles - the current version is based on a conversion kit for the Polar Lights Enterprise - might be making some additions.
Very nice modelling.
The Franz Joseph-dent on the secondary-hull looks awful though - it always does.
