Hello,
i continue in my series of simply star trek ships.
New set of models is based on classic TOS designs and include:

1. phase 1
Constitution class cruiser - USS Excalibur
Ptolemy class freighter - USS Deneb
Saladin class destroyer - USS Xerxes

2. phase 2
Federation class dreadnought - USS Entente
Shuttlecraft Galileo
DY-100 Botany bay

first prototypes - beta build is possible, but instructions is not yet complete.

Did you know there is already a Botany Bay available? I can't recall where I spotted it, but it was a page with a number of other ST models as well. I can search if you like?

If you'd rather build it yourself, then it's not a big deal (we can never have too many ST models!!)

Cool project!!! I like it! What scale will it be?

BTW: the Botany Bay (from Ulrich Prahn) is here available:

After all this you should do yourself a paper statue :D

For a Trekker fan this models are like a xmas gift so please don't "stop" at phase 2.... go on ghgh

PS: are you thinking of creating also an enterprise version from the excalibur model?... It would be most appreciated and the perfect start for the fleet ^^

FANTASTIC!! I have been meaning to do a TMP refit Ptolemy Class and Federation Class Dreadnought as follow ups to my refit Saladin, its just gotten kind of put on the back burner atm. Very nice work Rawen. Keep it up!

Ok I converted them to PDF for scaling and printed them. original scale came out at roughly 1:1318. scaled mine to 1:1700, will be getting on that soon but Rawen has inspired me to work on my refits (as my saladin these will be derivatives of Cmags' mod of the SF Papercraft Ent-A) to compliment his fine work.

OUTSTANDING WORK!

I can't wait till till you complete your work! I have always dreamed of a Original Series based ships. Changing the names though would be nice for those of us who have a favorite ship in the fleet........"U.S.S. Kongo" (Constitution Class) appealed to me at a young AMT / Franz Joseph designs stage....."U.S.S. Revere (Franz Joseph Starfleet Tech Manual - Hermes Scout Class)....."U.S.S. Martel" (Franz Joseph SFTM - Saladin Destroyer Class..."U.S.S. Konkordium" (SFTM - Dreadnought Class) Some of the names my dwindling memory held in high regard......

Today i test the nacelle and Constitution secondary hull - some bugs were found:

1:Too much complicated system of naccele pylons
2:back part of the naccele is too big.

Other parts looks OK.
