Daniel Biringer Blueprints

[publiusr]

I think that is lovely…killer side view.

I think the “Star Trek: Secrets of the Universe” also had a huge flat generation/sleeper ship next to an image of the 09’ JJ-Prise:

It had octagonal segments as I recall.


Maybe call ship in your blueprints a differential drive?

A Casimir-plate something-or-other…

Still nothing on the “Dark Viking?”

 

[Stibbons]

Not been able to find anything on "Dark Viking" I'm afraid. Did find a few Cinefex archives and trawled through them but got nowhere. Nothing on the internet, not even a hint.

I did find that Allie Clay Peed III died in 2017 alas, a long time Star Trek fan, left his mark in the three blueprint sets he produced. More than I will ever do and I have them all. I salute you sir (Vulcan salute, obviously).

Having fun combining Vadenda superfreighters and Voltara tenders at the moment, good RPG opportunities there. Note that Voltara tenders are nothing like chicken tenders.

I seem to remember Dark Viking in a Starlog ad...maybe Starburst of CINEFANTASESQUE or something.

What were Alan Clay's three blueprints again?

This no longer works

Allie Clay Peed III- Gorn Battleship, Federation-class Dreadnought and Vadenda-class Superfreighter.

Try this archive, it's slow but functional- https://archive.org/details/lyman_007_hotmail_228

Thank you.

Thinking of scanning that?

 

[Stibbons]

Don't have a scanner large enough, they're big blueprints, 14 by 22 inches (36 x 56 cm).

The Gorn ship and the Dreadnought are both on the Cygnus X-1 blueprints site, as are the Voltara. I've actually got a few blueprints and size-comparison charts that are not on that site, it's pretty good, but doesn't have everything.

 

[publiusr]

I’d like to see those other blueprints if possible

 

[Stibbons]

The ones I have that they don't are the Vadenda and Biringer's Tractor-tug. There was a thread on the size comparison charts I did here- https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/starstation-aurora-size-comparison-charts.297797/

And as I said, the rest are here- https://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/lcars/blueprints-main2.php

There are a few different Dreadnought blueprints, only one is by Mr. Peed.

 

[publiusr]

Thank you for that.

Any other views of Apache?

[Stibbons]

I don't have any but the Starship Schematics Database has this-

Weird looking thing...

 

[aridas sofia]

Those other views of Apache are most definitely not what Guenther intended. The linked multiview is by someone else - probably the late Neale Davidson. Guenther never shared the other views he had in mind.

 

[Stibbons]

Yes, it's from Neale Davidson/Vance's work that this comes, it's also in the Vance's Schematics page on the Cygnus X-1 blueprint site. Thank you for clarifying that. I wonder what the ship was intended to look like.

I didn't know that we had lost Mr. Davidson. Is Todd Guenther still with us?

Yes, Todd is alive and well.

Good. Has he given up pen and ink?
