Awhile back I spent five months doing a U.S.S. Enterprise for Dragon's 700th scale model which has been announced but seems t be delayed. I have had a lot of success selling drawings of the Scharnhorst model so I thought I would repeat the process for Enterprise. The problem lies in the nature of the model making business. A 700th scale model doesn't need to have as much detail as a 350th kit. But a 350th kit doesn't need as much detail as 1/100th scale drawings. There was also the issue that I didn't model some of the existing CAD that Dragon already had, like the anchors and a couple antennas. So in order to release a set of drawings, I need to spend another few months detailing out the model I already have. Towards that end, I began to look over the model and see what I was missing. The first thing I added was a relatively simple AN/SPS-42 landing control radar.
