I have never seen the a picture of the Enterprise’s hull and keel, so I can’t comment on accuracy. But I think I’d prefer a waterline version because it looks so much sleeker and less clumsy.

Any chance of bringing the whole thing more to life by adding some micro-scale planes? Or is the scale just too small?

well, version 1 was waterline and upwards only, link: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=70760

and yes, the scale is to small to make microscale planes, they’d need to be somethin like 2 studs long and 1.5 studs wide, which would be just a little bit hard to do.

thanks!
