USS Young - PTOLEMY CLASS by Franz Joseph

[AdmiralGR]

This it the build in starting next

Every since I was young and got the Franz Joseph manual I've wanted a model of this. That book was prob what made me fall in love with Starships!

Looks good! I remember that book too, it was a great study guide.

Sunday morning update

Used a small brass pin for the deflector. Note to self - fit this when making the deflector - don't try pushing it in once the glue is all set!

I built the Rawen version (Repaints by bgt01) but i also found addon parts by Falwin. Falwin had done a redo of the container that was a little shorter and more in line with the Franz manual dimensions. - I have no idea where i go the files but i can share on PM if you wanted them.

Tips and Observations - It was relatively easy to build, the only thing that was "tricky" was the Nacelle Pylons - getting the angle was flipping hard, one of mine is too close to the container compared to the other but hey! A solution might be a piece of wire in a U shape inside the saucer and hanging down.
