Apollo-class USS Centaur
Scottish Andy:
Hi all,
I was wondering if someone might do me a favour. The USS Centaur from DS9 was made from Excelsior and Miranda model kit pieces. Almost everyone has it scaled to the Excelsior components. I happen to be awkward and want them scaled to the Miranda components.
My reasons are long and varied, it's better not to ask, as I'll actually tell you.
I was hoping some nice modeller would rescale LC Amaral's beautiful "Centaur light cruiser", available on Battleclinic on this page:
http://www.battleclinic.com/docks/dock.php?id=54
to a scale length of 210m, which is how long the Centaur would be with her Photon Pod and Bridge taken directly from a Miranda.
Any chance of this happening? Many thanks and appreciations sent to those who may want to humour mt madness. :D

My dear Scottish Andy - one remark USS Centaur was not the Apollo class. :) The Apollo class was the vessel usually described as Ambassador with the hull configuration of Nebula class :) What I mean is a Nebulish Ambassador :)
ModelsPlease:
Apollo Class
IIRC LC Amaral included this is his Ambassador Pack.
I can see how you came up with the Centaur being the Apollo Class ::)

--- Quote ---Author's Notes:
The designation Apollo class for this particular Star Trek model is conjecture from the era that the model is from and the obvious design gap. U.S.S. Centaur, as shown in DS9 episode 'A Time To Stand' featured this kit-bash of the Excelsior and Miranda class models. The DS9 Technical Manual did not give a starship class designation, but many fans including Nick and myself both consider this to be the Apollo class that have starship registries in the 11000-range. Starships from this class include: Achilles, Ajax, Clement, Gage, T'Pau and Agamemnon. Many names are taken from mythology which, in conjunction with the registry numbers from around the Excelsior period, make the Centaur as NCC 43042 compelling as Apollo class.

If they had done research they would have seen several different designs designated as the Apollo Class...
An Excelsior :huh:

Useless Info ;D
Scottish Andy:
Thanks for the replies, Guys. I am aware of the Nebula-configuration Ambassador-style ship allocated to the Apollo class, but for my corner of the Star Trek Universe, it just doesn't fly. I take that to be the Rennaisance class. The NCC numbers for the Apollos are in the 11xxx and 12xxx series, which doesn't fit in with my registry number system.
That aside, anyone willing to re-size LC Amaral's Centaur for me? I don't know what's involved in modelling so I don't know if this is an easy task or not, but I have nothing, and I'd really appreciate this.
Thanks.

Is that my Knox Class in your sig Scottish Andy ? ;D
