Federation DDL

Post by Wolverin61 »

I'm thinking about making a Fed. DDL out of a BC saucer and a SC engine I have lying around. The deflector dish hanging down under the saucer would block the torpedo launcher on the neck though, so I'm thinking I'll either move it to the front edge of the saucer or just leave it off entirely.

Which would be 'better'? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I'd take a slightly different route...

I'd remove the "huge, honkin' sensor dish of enemy detectin', +5" and replace it with a more modest version from the kitbash pack.
That way, you still get a sensor dish, but you've also cleared your fire zone...

Unlike the poor pitiful pilot of the hapless F-18 temporarily assigned to a Federation LTT. :roll:

I'm thinking I'll just leave it off. Vanguard's drawing of the TMP era Saladin class doesn't have one so it'll be like that.

Thanks for the input.

Finally got it together and finished painting it last night. Going to try to find somebody with a digital camera I can use so I can put up some pics of it, along with the CVS and fast BCF (FBC?) I did.
