So, I decided to strip and repaint another one of my old 1/537 refit saucers, mostly to practice brush painting and masking with. I decided to make it up as the saucer of some unseen DS9 "frankenfleet" ship, so parts from other old kits and various other bits and bobs will be added to it. But this is where she's at now.

I do plan to build her in Blender once I have done the Enterprise-B.
I look forward to following this build.
Quick question: Where did this piece come from? Looks familiar, but I can't put my finger on it.
Yeah... if they had used the 1/1000 Reliant kit nacelles & impulse engine, then literally everything on the ship would be in proper scale. Of course, the 1/1000 Reliant kit hadn't been made yet when the episode was filmed. If they had used the original Excelsior kit's native nacelles, this ship would become TRULY puzzling, because then it would basically be using 100% stock Excelsior parts on it, which begs the question of why the yard teams would bother to rearrange the components, rather than just retain the standard stock Excelsior configuration, lol.
