Introduction: USS Enterprise Constitution Class
This is my very first instructable: As a student in mechanical engineering I have always been interested in the show Star Trek, so I decided to create my very own star ship. I used online blueprints to help remain accurate, though I did make a few personal modifications as to give the older ship a more sleek design.
Hope you enjoy and thanks for looking!
