USS Discovery (Nebula)

[Schalldampfer]

Since I just finished up my Excelsior Class USS Melbourne I decided to look again at my other ships from Wolf 359. The first we will look at is the Nebula Class USS Discovery NCC-62045. I built this up quite a number of years ago after wanting a Nebula of my own. I thought since the Melbourne was changed to an Excelsior class in DS9: Emissary, the one we see in BOBW and in the background of Emissary would actually be this ship. It is very similar to the original studio kit bash except for the rear pod. The original was two 1/2500 Galaxy nacelles on a pylon over a shield like part. This looked kind of strange for an in-universe use. Instead I used part of the AMT Enterprise D stand and the roll bar from the 1/537 Reliant with some other bits to create a new pod. Decals are custom from JT Graphics.

Nice work! Love your use of the Miranda roll bar halves for the pod.

Thanks! Copper for all except the inner oval ring which was gold.
