Description Seven ships now, each as close as Lego-ly possible to the correct scale with minimal sacrifice of looks.  In the back, you can see the UNSC Savannah, a Paris class frigate at 535m long.  To its right is the USS Enterprise, Constitution class heavy cruiser, at 289m.  Again to the right, unfortunately at a tricky angle to see, is the Redemption, a Nebulon B class frigate, which is 300m long.  Below it, the USS Voyager, an Intrepid class exploration vessel, which measures 344m long.  To its left, we have the Acclamator class Star Destroyer, at 752m.  Again to the left, the Tantive IV, a Corellian Corvette class, which is 141m long.  And yes, that's a Firefly class transport, the Serenity, down at the bottom, with its little 82m length.

Because of limitations from parts and such on this scale, some of the models may be as much as one stud too long.  If you can do better, then please show me how.

Thanks!    It was very tricky to figure out a way to make it look right.

Out of curiosity, do you have any instructions for the Nebulan B Frigate?

If you have the Lego Digital Designer program (which is free, if you don't) I can send you a virtual model  of it, and the program can show you instructions.  Or I can see if I can make it give me the instructions, and send them to you as a .pdf or something.

I have LDD. I didn't know you could send your models to other people

Yeah, you just find the file (should be a .lxf type), and send it like any other file.  Email attachments, or in this case, a Sta.sh upload.  sta.sh/02bbh0o5d2tc Just download it and open it with LDD.

Note: I did have to make a change or two in the Enterprise, Nebulon B and Acclamator models, but they are mostly the same.

Ok, thank you vary much! They will be vary helpful in making the rebel fleet for my mini's. If i ever get the chance to post pictures i'll credit you for the design ^w^

Cool.    If you need it, there's the Corellian Corvette there too.  The design doesn't work in LDD, but it's pretty simple.

I can see it, it's a good design. Really works too

There's a slight issue with the parts holding those binoculars on not fitting quite right.  Other than that, it's about as good as one could ask for.

Cool. My only problem is finding enough binoculars

I bet it is. I ordered a whole bunch a few months ago knowing i'd have that problem

Nice.  I should do that..  Just order a pile of cool/rare detail bits.

That's what i did. Still haven't used all of them, except the binoculars :/

Thank you very much.  I worked long hours on those ones.  Glad somebody likes my Firefly model.

Well, now I know what I wanna do once I've gotten my lego bricks sorted. XD


But man, it really helps to drive forward the sheer scale of these ships… and how dinky Star Trek vessels are. XD

Taggerung1 In reply to HaroldPotter [2014-01-14 22:21:18 +0000 UTC]

Lol, that it does.  Most of the time when I'm trying to make a scale model for a Star Trek ship, the problem is that they don't make parts small enough for it.  That 4x4 round plate on the Enterprise didn't exist the first time I tried to make it, and I had to upscale it to a 6x6 dish thing.

Yep.  I'd love to try making a Galaxy class Federation ship.

^_^ That would be pretty epic if you made a battle of federation ships vs a Borg cube

Taggerung1 In reply to OhMyGoshItJosh [2014-01-15 00:16:21 +0000 UTC]

Epic and expensive..  Even at this scale, a Borg Cube like in the battle of Wolf 359 or Sector 001 would be like 90 studs, or 3/4 of a meter.  And of course, a cube, so it'd be huge..
It would be cool though.

The Corvette was one of those epiphany moments, when you suddenly think "Wait, that would be ...yeah, that would work perfectly for what I need!"  And then it actually turns out that you're right, and it really does.
