USS Jefferies - Study model
This is a study model for the MOC I’m working on the USS Jefferies. What you’re looking at here is the core of the model with one of the big booms sticking out the side that form the wings. The box of assorted LEGO at the end is a weight to represent the warp drives sitting at the end. The big rock on top is just so it doesn’t fall over.
All this is to check whether those wings will droop; and they do – but not nearly as much as I thought. I will do a bit of a redesign and try this again. Worst case I might have to just have two nacelles (basically halving the weight on the end) which will reduce the droop massively.
A big shout out to Jeddy and Daddy who recently gave (GAVE!) me a massive bag of various technic parts and miscellaneous plates; many of which are in this model.
