I possibly revise that a little more. Such as the Registry work I did may go into their …

The Halcyon The design is as said in WIP status and some sections (Engines) maybe altered later as the design progresses and I also want to design the internal sets, cockpit, crew area, and cargo bays and I have already started on the land craft bay between the lower engines. the design stands just over …

Federation Space-dock Design slowly progressing,, I will have some fictional scales later *****
Federation Space-dock I have started work on a Franz Joseph inspired Space dock or Head Quarters depending on the designation you wish to give it, I also added a Matt Jefferies inspired Space-Tug that I have called a Hutzel class, named after Gary Hutzel.
