Human: [**Note**: Thingiverse is currently experiencing major issues, including preventing the "Download all" button from working. To avoid tedium, I've posted all files in this kit as zip files on a Google Drive location at https://drive.google.com/open?id=1N_ddsqlwfIOt0OzYHveA7RDJ9QSc9LB5. If you'd like to get all the kit files without hassle, please visit the Google Drive.\r\n\r\n**Further Note**: The recent Thingiverse UI update has also broken my markdown formatting for this overview. I've created a README document at the drive location (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1csqOLNw2GocyxEx7c1LksHdpEX4jgE-zUohM-rkNEG0) to document the kit's contents.\r\n\r\nThis is the first expansion parts kit designed to complement my Star Trek Constitution Class Parts Kit, adding support for the Miranda class and its major canon variants. All parts are meant to be cross-compatible between kits.\r\n\r\nThis kit supports the following ships:\r\n\r\n- The Miranda class, first seen in Star Trek II as the USS Reliant.\r\n- The Lantree variant, first introduced in the TNG episode Unnatural Selection.\r\n- The Soyuz class, first seen in the TNG episode Cause and Effect.\r\n- The Saratoga variant, first seen in the DS9 pilot.\r\n- The Antares variant, first seen in the DS9 episode Favor the Bold.\r\n\r\nAlso included are a couple of kit bash examples showing how these parts can be used with other parts.\r\n\r\nThis is an ongoing work in progress as I evaluate quality issues and improve the part set. As a relatively new user to 3D modeling, I welcome feedback and criticism. Although I've validated all part meshes as valid and watertight, I haven't printed any of these yet. I have concerns that the fiddly bits like the antennas on the Soyuz might cause problems. If you do print anything from this kit, please let me know how it goes.
