Gorn BC variants?

Post by Weirdo »

Are there any variations of the Gorn BC that can be represented simply by pulling one of the warp nacelles off? You can thank my cat for this question.

That's my plan B. Wouldn't be the first time, I've done it with a Kzinti ship that came with only one sensor dish.

Unfortunately for your situation, no, there are no single-nacelle Gorn BC variants. I don't think the Gorns have any single-nacelle ships, at all.

Situations like this are why I'm a "dog-person". :wink:

Is it an older Starline 2200 mini with the separate engine parts on struts? If so, you might be able to get someone who has bought the ADB spare parts packs in the past to gift you one. I might have one in my stash, but can't look at the moment.

The spare part engine can also be used to repair a modern one-piece mini, but will involve a lot more work with a hacksaw. I've also made Gorn engines from scratch with brass rod chucked in a Dremel and sanded (lathed, basically) to shape, when the project required it.

Getting a new one would entail getting that nacelle to match the paint scheme exactly, otherwise the difference would make it look worse than before, and I certainly am not stripping off a paint job I worked hard on.

Thanks, but I'll probably go for the damaged look. I still have at least a couple debris-trail bits I can use, at least.

Monitor variant?

Had a couple freighter conversions in mind, but they'd all wreck the paint.

Never mind, my wife find the nacelle. Good condition, too.

She is awesome.
