Product Description
This is David Ellingson's take on the Monocerous conversion for the refit movie Enterprise. It is not a direct copy of the Monocerous seen online in various plans, but rather David's interpretation of the design with his own personal "takes" and interpretations. It is more in the spirit of the Monocerous plans seen online, and by no means identical. No copyright infringement or intellectual property theft is intended. Basically, the lower sensor pod was streamlined, redesigned, and mated to the top of a replacement dorsal saucer part. It has also been thickened quite a bit in order to make it into a true B/C deck, and not simply a case of having the lower sensor domed just "plopped" atop the saucer.
As a general disclaimer, it is recommended that the modeler purchase the part in as high a quality printing material as possible; while Shapeways claims that the part is printable in the lesser media, I'm not sure that I agree that it will come out as well.
The center-top of the part is flat to alloq q bridge to be sited there. It circular in shape and about 37 mm in diameter, so size your bridge accordingly. The AMT/ERTL kit bridge will just fit. This is the only difference between this part and the Monocerous Version 3 part.
The modeler may purchase this part as it is, and attempt to fit it to the top of the AMT/ERTL 1/537th scale saucer. However, the modeler will then have to replace the inner saucer ring. An aftermarket part which the Monocerous Version 2 conversion is designed to fit is available. You do not have to buy it, but again, it is designed to fit the part. Your call...
