Flat Models

I posted many many of these over on the old Mighty Ten-12. Here are two I recently was fiddling with and their wiki pages. The scale is one meter to the pixel.

Thank you. I have three and five views of some of them. Sadly only the Manta is a model.

This little 21st century warp two colonizer was biting my ass. The geometry was driving me nuts, the nose was not right. It got the better of me and I mocked up the beast.to see what the angles really were.

You see I thought the nose was an octagon pyramid with eight sides. The top view was kicking my ass. Turns out thou cannot deny Euclid. He will prevail and you get what you see 1 pixel to 1 meter scale. Plus the mock up.0.1" to 1 meter. Sloppy, but convenient.

If you want the treknical details they are here: Bendross IV

That's a big ship! You gonna carry on and keep building her?

Nope. That is what is called a study model. It answered my question. It will be in the trash shortly. It is not very precise, it is only 67 pound paper. And, it would be 31+ inches long when finished at the rather odd scale I used. As a subject it's not worth that much model. At most it is worth a 1/2500 model.

The general idea was a massive impulse freighter converted to a slow warp ship as a colonizer. The design is something that you can see the DY100 from it. It is in that family, but much larger.
