No prob. There are a couple of formats that I can send to you for use as a
graphic.
EPS-usualy sharper, tho at the size of minifig torsos, that may not really
matter.
JPG-it's basically a photo. This one is good if you want a small file.

That was one of the problems I thought about when I was playing with the
thought of building a ship, tho it would be neat to try to do microfig
renditions of the sets, especially engineering. 1x1 trans blue round bricks
would be great for the warp core.

lol, no...but basically, what could be done is to place flashlight bulbs in the
warp nacelles (at minifig size, I would assome they would be hollow). Just go
to your local Radio shack and get a cheap flashlight and take it apart.

Pretty much, but the pod is a wedge shape. And while yellow is the common
color, orange would look pretty sharp.

Looking forward to seeing it! I'm curious to see this project grow!

| Right now, my biggest problem is finding a folding table ... so far I can't find anything wider than 30", but I really WANT (ideally) 36" by 72". Jeff Benson jbenso1@towson.edu (24 years ago, 9-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)
