Shuttle 01

This little diorama came about when I bought a set of Star Trek Micromachines to turn into ornaments. Most of the Trek Micromachines are of large ships (like the Enterprise) in such small scale as to be used for very little else. But this TNG shuttlecraft was just large enough that I wondered what its scale actually was. I measured it and calculated that it was about 1/160 scale. This happens to be a standard model railroad scale (N scale) for which I had some figures on hand. So, I decided to make a diorama of an away team exploring a planet with the shuttlecraft.
