Star Trek Akula Class Light Cruiser

thingiverse

An Akula Class Starship from Star Trek's TOS era sits proudly, its sleek design a testament to innovation and precision engineering. A small, faired-in deflector dish is cleverly integrated into the underside of the saucer section, while two compact shuttle bays flank the dorsal neck, each designed to accommodate a TOS shuttle with minimal clearance. This is no behemoth cruiser, but rather a nimble vessel built for speed and agility. We envision the interior as a streamlined "U" shaped tunnel, allowing crew members to move efficiently between landing and takeoff points. The design prioritizes functionality over extravagance, resulting in a seamless user experience. The 3D model is expertly crafted to minimize waste and overhang, with precision-cut parts that fit together with ease. Strategically placed indentations facilitate pin vice drilling for added stability when using glue, ensuring a strong and durable bond between components.
