I thought it would be good to have a thread to post links, on sites that has information to use for models. Links for the real subjects, Sci-fi, drawings, book, pictures, or any if we need. If you find any research material, for any subjects, post here. I will start. This link is for the Ships of the Line books, in PDF format, and a few other ST books. http://www.ladiesofneverwinter.com/library/

Do any of those have blueprints for the TOS Enterprise? I'm on dial-up at home and cant open a 33page pdf without it being a real pain. However I do have other ways of gaining this information but not today.

None of them have blueprints, color profiles. I have dial-up, and it took me a couple of minutes, to download each. They are worth getting.

Does anyone know of any online sources where you can get startrek blueprints and etc without having to buy a book or etc...? oh, and I don't know if it's the time of night or the server they've got but those pdf's are downloading quick... I'm going to go check them out now.

Information wants to be free

For the Military Modelers try the Federation of American Scientists www.fas.org and go to the US Weapons Systems section. Lots of info on current inventory stuff both US and OPFOR.

You are in luck, I found the link http://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/lcars/blueprints-main2.php for ST blueprints. A Gold mine of free downloads.

Phil Broad's site. Good pics, some blueprints, good starting point for a variety of scifi subjects.
