Hi gang! I've started on a Federation Surya class starship.

My goal is two-fold: 1) see how fast and well I can model (I don't want this dragging on for months) and 2) generate a bunch of generic Franz Joseph parts for future kit-bashing (someone wants a destroyer). In some ways it's Boldly Going Where Vektor Has Gone Before. But hey, it's not another Connie!

(What? Model a Galaxy? Have you lost your MIND?!?!)
It's fun finding out where FJ made mistakes with his plans (regarding their own consistency, not how well they duplicate the TV show). I haven't found a lot, but there are a couple. The one I'm talking about is on the aft drawing of the warp nacelle.
My biggest glitch at the moment is figuring out how to get the top "secondary" deck to merge with the saucer. It's not "just like the Reliant". Which may be where the errors come from. The shape is either not possible (as drawn) or I'm not seeing it right. If anyone has an aft or underside drawing of this ship (or photos of a physical model) that would be swell. Until I can get that sorted, I'll get back to the nacelles. (Which are SO much easier than the actual TOS model nacelles, btw.)
I'll get back to the drydock soon. I'm stretching my legs.
