The main body and cockpit are a cut-up-and-rebuilt AH-64 Apache Helicopter.
The engines are scratch built, and represent my concept of an inertial drive engine.

Enterprise NCC 1701A, in HO scale would be 11.49 feet long. The Primary hull would be 5.5175 feet long, and 5.34 feet wide.

I am tempted.......but that is almost the same length, and almost twice as wide as my three module set !!!

Card stock and balsa, to keep it light enough to "carry".
I'd have to "break it down" to transport it ( the primary hull alone would be too big for my trailer ) and it would require an extra trip, in addition to the trip to transport the modules.
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
