The Enterprise D was built the same year, and it's some 17 cms long. I used white card
paper for the hull, just as with the
"A", and a gray colored pilot for the windows. Hull plating was done drawing lines as the blueprints on the technical manual showed and then pushed them down with a pin. I
colored paper with pastel chalks and cut every single lifeboat hatch, as well as the phaser banks and other details such as transporter emitters and RCS squads.
The nacelles were a big pain, bigger than the oval saucer, but at the end they came just fine. On years to come these were improved significantly. It's saucer is detachable, but unfortunately, got no picture of that detail. If you look closer you can see the separation plane...

The Runabout, Tamesis, was done a year after that. Got the blueprints from a friend on Austria (Thanks Herlind!) and this
was the outcome. She's not scaled, and measures like 14 cms long.
The only different thing on its construction is that I used clear acetate painted black to simulate transparent aluminum windows. Its nacelles are what I like the most...they're neat.
