Welcome to .space Dirk!
Jon Palmer and I were looking at your ship last night. It’s very well done.
We don’t get a lot of Star Trek themed ships posted to .space, I think
because the ST spaceships you see on TV are generally very large.
Well done!

Thank you for the welcome.
You’re quite right in your observation about the size of Star Trek ships.
Most minifig scale builders (myself included) stay well under the 100 studs
mark. For ST that’s a big shuttle. If you want to build a “true” starship with
Warp drive, you need to go a lot bigger and decent size engines for something
that big would be to heavy to put on nice, slender pylons.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m not gonna try it any time soon.
Dirk
