needs more gribbly bits

Because you can never have enough targets...

WYN AuxDN Nancy with extra swag to test new software (1/3125 based on 32m/160m pods). Model is hollow using .040" shell. Most surface imperfections are my fault from using a 10-year old can of gray primer, so parts of it will need to be brushed and resprayed.

Oh My Frakking Gawd... That is gorgeous.

Email me. We need to speak.

Will McC is the chief engineer of the Shapeways Store; maybe he would share with you the "standards and practices file" that would help you evolve into ships we could sell and pay you money for creating.

Do the 'turrets' and PFs come as added parts or printed in place?

Printed in place, that's all one continuous piece of plastic. I have a model for the SCS version with the full flotilla, but I'm not completely happy with how the hangar deck looks yet, so this version got printed first.

Can you sit that next to an official ADB mini Fed CA and/or Klingon D7 for a size comparison, please?

With SL2500 D6 as scale. The Nancy was printed at the smaller SL2400 1/3788 scale, the wreck behind it was printed at full SL2500 1/3125 scale (well, started to print).
