Hey Dirk,
Very nice model, and I know exactly what you mean about slender pylons and
heavy nacelles. The Classic Trek movie Enterprise has always been my
favorite iteration of the ship. I dearly wish I still had my South Bend
electronic Enterprise toy that was reconfigurable. Remember that one?

Anyway, I once got it into my head to try a Lego version of the ship and I
actually got as far as the nacelles, which came out really well (even had
the blinking anti-collision light at the rear top!) until I realized that
there was no way (minus epoxy) that the darn things weren't going droop from
the weight. Someday though, someone's gonna figure it out, and we will all
be picking our collective jaws up off the floor.
Here's hoping!
Dave
