Enterprise-D Lifeboat (ASRV)

[jparenti]

This was a design by Rick Sternbach that didn’t make it into any episodes but after seeing a cutaway diagram and lengthy explanation of it online I had to see if I could make one. It’s mostly finished now except that I’ve reworked the sign next to the hatch to display the actual text (a picture of which was posted on a Facebook comment by no less than Rick Sternbach himself, who seemed to approve of my efforts!) and I want to include some other lifeboat numbers so you can make a few and they can be displayed in “gaggle mode”.

There’s higher resolution versions available online that I worked from. The sketches were helpful in naming parts.

This is nice. Interesting going with the cube approach, but makes sense when seeing the lifeboats "clumped" together.


Are you planning on releasing the model?
