When did you send them? I haven't checked my email in a couple of days.
There is no bay as such, just the doors and the surrounding exterior structure. I can tell you what the dimensions of the bay opening are and I can probably give you an idea of its maximum depth once I get home and have a chance to take the measurements off the model.
By the way, what I had in mind for the
Blackfoot's docking bay is a bit different from the typical, TNG-era, box-like Federation starship hangar bay. I'm not envisioning a floor as such but rather a kind of alcove surrounded by form-fitting structural ribs. The
Blackfoot wouldn't actually "land" in this bay, it would probably be grabbed by a pair of extensible docking arms and retracted into the bay. The
Blackfoot is more like a runabout than a shuttle and I just think it needs a more robust connection to the mothership. They don't call it a "docking" bay for nothing.
Just my thinking on the subject. Your milage may vary.
