One of the lesser known flying saucers in Nazi UFO lore is the "Vril" saucer, claimed to be the first of the saucer fleet that has somehow pulled a houdini from the face of the earth.
I decided to do some extrapolation to see what a "supersized" vril would look like, and I came up with something akin to a miniature saucer battleship.
I even included a bridge deck for the model. What I did, really was a combination of Galactica's CIC and the Enterprise's bridge. I was planning to put propaganda posters and even a flag in the bridge, but I would have gotten a pantload of flak for that (hehe, flak...)
In a nutshell, this model is kind of a tongue-in-cheek joke, poking fun at science fiction shows as well as giving a large dollop of gratuitous wartime germanic aesthetics. And a little trivia: The "R-1" seen on the side of the main cabin stands for Raumschiffe 1, much like how U-boats are designated U-XXX, another joke I put there.

I kinda lost interest in this project after I went into a depression bout, so it's not my best work sign1
