I wonder how it would look if the B1 underslung nacelles branched off the top (where they're attached in the A1 design)... Nacelles would probably be... just below the saucer? Pylons would either be longer (to be wide enough), or the nacelles would be "tucked in" tight...
Just idle musings, here. We now return you to your awesome Sentinel build, already in progress... ![]() |

![]() Now back to to our primary progress today - brass deflector tubes are installed in the bow. Also, the outer walls of the primary were fabricated from .080 styrene and glued in place, ![]() ![]() Last edited by AdmiralBuck; 08-14-2017 at 08:43 AM. |

Wow. So simple-looking, but I still have a raft of questions:
1) What do you recommend for gluing brass to styrene? 2) What do you use for filling in the gaps between the brass and the styrene? (I'm assuming this is a fairly basic question, and that 90% of the audience just skipped ahead to the next forum, but I've had stuff that worked and stuff that's brittle and fails quickly - I need an expert opinion...) 3) What goes in the brass pipes? (In canon, and in the model...) Many thanks for the ongoing education- ![]() |

3) I really don't know what goes inside the tubes. On the show, these holes were represented as three white illuminated flush-mounted discs. I wanted to do what Cat did on his Miranda as they occupy the same TOS universe. Adding some additional detail to this feature was a great call by Dave. I plan to insert another piece of telescoping brass tube, recessed about 1mm for edge detailing. Dave recommended adding a clear faceted plastic (edit correction: GLASS) gem into each tube about 4 mm and then backlighting with a blue / orange switchable LED for the added choice of color variation.

In the meantime, I took the liberty of compiling views of your Shangri La and Wasp models. I hope you're okay with them. They were just too good-looking to pass up and some of the more imaginative movie-era designs I've seen in a long time. I got my eye on Shaw's USS Columbia, too...

You know - you really should ASK PEOPLE before you do things like that. Sure, 99 times out of 100 they'll say yes - but to just take them like that..... it's unprofessional on your part. |

Quite right. Apologies.

Aaron, I use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to do my 2D work - so, not exactly what an engineer would use. I wish I knew how to use a 3D drafting program. Some of the above 'garbage' comps are nothing more than cut and paste images I found online of starship hulls (Reliant in particular) for a quick mock-up of shapes in scale. The top view is one of mine - from Wasp, and the engine in B1 is a quickie photoshop illustration. For really nice orthos, I'm using Illustrator (CC15) - which is vector and can be scaled infinitely.
