Re: Scratchbuilding Nacelles - Part Deux
I love these nacelles, but they scream out for the entire ship. Whatever happens on that front is what happens, but you've outdone yourself with the work on these nacelles. They look spot on.

There are Times, Sir, when men of good Conscience cannot blindly follow orders. You acknowledge their sentience, but ignore their personal liberties and freedoms. Order a man to hand over his child to the state? Not while I"m captain.

Re: Scratchbuilding Nacelles - Part Deux
The whole ship looks like it't be a prety simple conversion of the existing Ent-A kit. I just have to modify the nacelle pylons, the neck and the saucer impulse engines. A few other small tweeks here and there and BAM! Done.
I might try to get to work on the pylons this weekend along with the connecting points on the nacelles.

Don't forget the ventral saucer. The flat outer band appears to be thicker than the one on the E-A:
