Lazy day today…may work more on the Enterprise; she’s coming along nicely. 🙂 Got her about halfway done…I have the saucer pretty much done and detailed (tho I still have more decals to add to it) and have the neck attached…now I need to hit the nacells and secondary hull. Y’know…then the Next Generation ship had the ability to separate at the saucer, many criticized it for not being cool…that was planned to happen from the start. 🙂 Even Kirk’s Enterprise back in the 60’s was supposed to have this…there’s some details under the saucer where landing struts were even hidden under, I believe. The difference was the “D” was the only one that could do the separation and re-attach…the other ships needed a spacedock to achieve this.
And there’s your Star Trek “geek” for today. 😛 Google “TOS saucer separation” if you want to read more…kinda cool. 🙂
As for now? How about some Angel?

Greetings from Texas,
Interesting. It had never occured to me that the saucer section would have landing struts. I had always assumed that they would stay in orbit and use transporters to travel back and forth to the surface.
I remember from the premeir of ‘Next Generation’ that redocking was considered fairly dicey. It was Pecards acid test for Ryker (sp).
I love the shot of Angel. Pity she lost her heels somewhere.

There prolly were struts on the secondary hull as well…good point. 🙂 I’d bet my “Nerd License” on it…lol. 😉
