The only Klingon female (that I can recall) in ST:TOS had her hair up in a beehive.

The other Klingon woman I mentioned (who's on the transporter pad behind Mara in some stills) also had her hair in a beehive. One might speculate it was a regulation hair style.

Or it could have been the 1960s. My sister will deny it, but she wore a beehive in high school. I'm sure there are photos to prove it.

Oh I have no doubt 1 mini I'll make will have a beehive!

I've seen recent versions referred to as a "peacock".

Occasionally in the past, it has come up about doing the Free Trader or other ships in-scale with figures.

This video is of the scout ship for Traveler done up that way for 28mm scale figures (that ship is the kissing cousin to the SFU skiff type).

On a quick scroll, I didn't see the buy-in price for the files, but I can't imagine them giving the modeling work away for next-to-free. The printing would be a significant investment - it's big and that's a lot of filament and resin (and a lot of bed-time and babysitting)

Will, that is so flipping cool! I would love love love to be able to do that with the police boat. But at 1:59 scale, it would be over six-foot long.

490 hours of filament printing... wow!

In my email today:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2nddynasty/free-trader-beowulf-starship

This is a kickstarter for deck plans and 3D models for the Type A Free Trader Beowulf for Traveller. This appears to be done by the same shop that created the Type-S Scout/Courier posted above.

It's pretty cool. And I remember the days when we just had some mediocre printed B&W papers and our imaginations...

How big would a gunboat be? Like a U1?

I thought I had been told that a G1 or U1 would be about the same volume/size as a Beowulf Free Trader. Is that correct?

If so, that'd be pretty cool. Get the players a ship the size they could actually use.

By Stewart Frazier (Frazikar3) on Wednesday, October 26, 2022 - 07:04 pm: Edit

G1 approx 32m x 26m x 6.25m

Boom ~ 17m x 3m (6m for bridge)

By Jack Bohn (Jackbohn) on Wednesday, October 26, 2022 - 08:39 pm: Edit

So, G1 in 1:59 is half-meterish, or about 18 inches. Wasn't the original Enterprise model kit 18 inches long?

By Mike West (Mjwest) on Thursday, October 27, 2022 - 08:24 am: Edit

An 18 inch model would be cool. I do imagine, though, that an 18 inch model would be price-prohibitive.

By Garth L. Getgen (Sgt_G) on Thursday, October 27, 2022 - 05:27 pm: Edit

At 1:59 scale, the ST:TOS Enterprise would be 16 feet long with a seven foot diameter saucer.

I think he meant the the old AMT model was 18 inches long, not that it was at 1:59 scale.

Hey what about doing just the bridge consoles? And maybe the captain's chair? Other than the mega bloks TOS bridge I've seen 1 'scifi bridge set' out there. Done in 28mm it be a great RPG thing, or at least I'd think.

By Jack Bohn (Jackbohn) on Friday, October 28, 2022 - 02:34 pm: Edit

The old AMT kit could represent the Mustang or Thunderbolt! Well, the parts are so different, it'd be like trying to build the TV version into the movie version; at best the thick parts of the kit would be structural support for your modifications. (The edge of the saucer is two decks high, but at 1/650, 1/59 of a PF's one deck needs significant buildup.)
