Title: Star Trek TOS shuttle plans?
Post by: robh on December 26, 2015, 04:16:36 PM
Any Star Trek junkies here have plans/schematics of the Gallileo type shuttle from the Original Series? I would like to scratchbuild one for my 25mm figures.

On which, open shout here for anyone with old true 25mm Heritage Trek figures (or compatible ex MM range) to spare/sell/trade to please drop me a line.

Just stick 'Galileo Shuttle Plans' into google mate. Hundreds of scale plans out there....

What about, to save you some hassle....

It says 4.5". That must be about the right size. Going by the plans, it seems about 9metres long, which roughly equates to about 5"?

There also seems to be 1:50 scale models out there. I don't know how rare they are.

Dunno, I thought this looked closer to six metres.

Always thought it had a bit of TARDIS to it.

Yeah, I agree that picture, if a person is roughly 2metres tall, would make it approx 6metres. The plans work out about 8 though.

Yeah, but, does it look like someone tall could 'comfortably' stand up inside it?

They even comment about that on the site of the folk trying to restore the original. Galileo Restoration (http://www.galileorestoration.com/author/admin/)

As I said. Tardis.  ;)
