I haven't been to his site, but has anyone seen a paint job for the elio to look like the Delta Flyer from Star Trek Voyager? I think the way that the Elio is curently designed would already fit the way the Delta Flyer is shaped. Just an idea, but I would really love that. I don't know about the others, but I am willing to pay several thousand to make the Elio look as authentic as I can towards the Delta Flyer.

But wouldn't you be going backwards?

If you ignored the wheel pods (paint 'em space-black, or just remove them) and added the warp drive "wings" to the rear half of the Elio (extra storage?) then I could see it working.

Haha it takes a lot more then that to ruffle my hair. And yes, I am a Trekkie. I feel no shame in it, and love every bit. Just don't ask me to choose a captain :biggrin1: That would be like trying to decide if Alexander the Great or Washington was better.

Then shouldn't the nacelles be mounted above and outboard of the trunk lid, and swap out the hood for a cool saucer section? :rolleyes::D

The saucer section would indicate a galaxy class vessel. This would be the Delta Flyer, a shuttlecraft. There isn't a saucer section and only 2 escape pods. I would be putting the nacelles up there because that looks like the most logical choice. Unless it would look better back by the read wheel. What are your thoughts? With the Delta Flyer, the aft and port nacelles come out from the shuttlecraft when they are about to jump to warp.
