50 Blueprints p6 (rec.arts.startrek.tech reading list)
FEDERATION FRONTIERS
Mike Rupprecht and Mark Wilson have joined forces to offer their deck
plans for sale online (http://members.aol.com/FdFrontier).
Mark's plans include:
1. Federation Shuttlecarrier Comparison Chart ($5.50)
2. Federation Shuttlecraft Identification Chart ($5.50)
3. Ships of The Delta Triangle, Vol. I - Automated Fuel Transport
U.S.S. Skagerrak ($5.50)
4. Ships of The Delta Triangle, Vol. II - Large Survey Vessel U.S.S.
Aliquippa ($5.50)
Mike has detailed blueprints of the Reliant-type ship (Miranda,
Avenger, whatever) available for sale at
http://members.aol.com/FH1860/ under the title "MIRANDA CLASS GENERAL
PLANS". Interestingly, Mike started off with the plans titled "AVENGER
CLASS BLUEPRINTS", before the term Miranda ever came into popular
usage - and now offers the same plans with either name. Now everybody
can be happy!
Mike was kind enough to send me a copy of the plans. They've highly
detailed, elegantly rendered, and just generally nifty. A construction
history and detailed ships directory are included, as is a legend
explaining just what all those fiddly bits of machinery actually are.
This is what the "official" TMP blueprints should have looked like.

THOMAS MODELS
Thomas Models has some pretty TOS-era "tech specs": the
Constitution-class - for the pilot ("The Cage"), the second pilot
("Where No Man Has Gone Before") and the series (yes, there are subtle
variations), and the "Scout/Destroyer" class from the Franz Joseph
Technical Manual. These plans are intended for modelers who want to
get the detailing on their creations perfect, but can be enjoyed by
everyone. $4.95 each.
