I'm currently in the research stage for building a diorama based on Operation Return in DS9. The scale will have to be around 1:8000 because of restraints on the amount of space I have. This will make DS9 between 7" and 8" in diameter, the Galaxy class and Jem'Hadar cruisers around 3" in length and the Federation attack fighters around 1/4" in length. There is no pattern currently available for Jem'Hadar cruisers so I'll have to try building them using Drex Files. I'll try to convert the Valkyrie template by Bones to bring it more in line with a Federation attack fighter, but a massively shrunk orthographic might be easier... I think this one will be the most challenging since it's only going to be around 5mm long, so I'll try a test build of one of these and a Jem'Hadar cruiser to see if it's possible to start a proper build log.
So far I've seen references to a possible 14 classes of Federation ships, 2 classes of Klingon ships, 2 classes of Cardassian ships and 2 classes of Jem'Hadar ships. These are as follows:-
FEDERATION:-
Akira (7+) - USS Mateo NCC 63002 is named
Centaur (1+) - USS Centaur NCC 42043 is named
Defiant (1) - USS Defiant NX 74205
Excelsior (8+) - USS Fredrickson NCC 42111 and USS Hood NCC 42296 are named
Federation Attack Fighter (10+)
Galaxy (10+) - USS Galaxy NCC 70637, USS Magellan NCC 71820, USS Trinculo NCC 71867 and USS Venture NCC 71854 are named
Jupp USS Jupp
Miranda (14+) - USS Majestic NCC 31060 (destroyed), USS Sitak NCC 32591 (destroyed), USS Trial NCC 1948 and possibly USS Cortez NCC 1834 are named
Nebula
Olympic
Sabre (3+)
Sovereign
Steamrunner (3+)
Yeager
Those in red need confirmation.
KLINGON:-
Bird of Prey (5+) - IKS Rotarran is named
Vor'Cha (3+)
CARDASSIAN:-
Galor (10+)
Hideki (5+)
JEM'HADAR
Cruiser (5+)
Fighter (10+)
There are no patterns available for Jupp or Yeager classes, so I'm kinda hoping that they weren't there
