What’s “TOP”?
And, yes, hell no to Trump.
Typo for TMP?
Indeed! Dammit, I hate it when I miss my typos like that! Corrected.
Double indeed, with bells on! Thanks for noticing!
Just picked up a combo of one of the earliest size comparison charts, Michael McMasters 1978 Size Comparison Chart, together with Aridas Sofia's Federation Starship Recognition Chart. Both are rolled, I had a folded version of the former but this is a better condition copy. The latter of course has a companion in the U.S.S. Enterprise Heavy Cruiser Evolution Blueprints by David Nielsen which is so oddly similar in style one might almost think they were by the same person (alas I do not have the original envelope of that last one, just the three sheets).
Both the latter have the huge Ariel-Class ship which is so similar to the Discovery I can't believe it's not in the ancestry somewhere.

Yup, "ancestry" is certainly something we can read into these charts in hindsight. One of the Ariadne's parents probably was Vulcan, say...
(Yet another opportunity for me to mount my trusted hobby-horse and state that NCC-1031 used to be a carrier, with vast interior volume, until in the 2250s found surplus to requirement and turned into a flying laboratory where oddly shaped experiments occupy some corners of the former hangars, but others remain empty save for impromptu scaffolding and turborails.)

Nielsen and Sofia are indeed the same person, to the best of my knowledge.
I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe!
I have both of the comparison charts. I had the Decatur chart, but it got lost in a move.I never had the Avenger or Dreadnought sheets.
These were all such great products.
I miss those days
As do I 
Just to clarify, Todd Guenther DID design Pompey. It was his two-nacelle refit of Saladin and Hermes.
the Dreadnought comparison chart is missing
For various reasons - most involving having multiple backup plans in case of Facebook and/or Twitter flaming out - I already have a MeWe account.
Sorry for the thread necromancy, but just saw these on eBay. While I have a few of them I never realised some of the others even existed!
