Baker CLASS -U.S.S. Ripley LV-426 (SRS Prototyping) - PIC HEAVY

[srspicer]

Given the large cargo doors on top of the hull, 'LV' could also stand for -Logistics Vehicle....a well armed one at that!

[Gidiot]

And as promised, here is the Baker class ship LV-426 next to a reliant class (soon to be modified into a Chandley/ Soyuz class variant USS NIMITZ for size comparison.

I always took the LV designation as "Life Viable" in the aliens universe - as a planet that can support human life

Perhaps LV in the Trek universe could mean "Light Vehicle" once the Ripley is done I'll see if we can get a shot of her next to another ship, she's actually quite petite...

"Light Vessel" is a more appropriate term but that's just semantics

please tell me the ship is mainly used for xenomorphic cataloging or mineral surveying

OK, the USS Ripley is on her way back (potentially with a few easter "Eggs"... hehehe ) here are the final detail images!

painting, and detailing done, here we go:

This is either a Main Cargo bay door for the Saucer or an axillary shuttle bay I'll have to make my final decision once i've seen it in person.... I remember making the decal as a cargo bay, but I may need to have a dropship for dropping my marines after we lose contact with the colony...

She'll soon be home next to the Becquerel,

Nice piece of work. Largest that has ever been done I think. Much better than the old FASA model.

Hey, can you give the dimensions on this build, please? That'll give me an idea of what I want to shoot for on a similar version that I'd like to either try and build myself or perhaps commission a printed model for.

Many thanks in advance!

I like the subtle aztecing. Good work!

She looks quite nice!

Were you able to get the dimensions for me, perchance?
