Some screenshots of Vorchans look almost metallic due to lighting - I wonder how one would look with a genuine scheme of gold, silver and metallic purple...

B5 Scrolls lists the first appearance of the C-16 as "Sometime in Season 5 of Babylon 5". I haven't spotted one yet, though I'm only part way through re-watching Season 5. But B5 Scrolls has a screenshot of the C-16 from the "Crusade" episode "Ruling From The Tomb", so it does exist.McKickaha wrote:Great cutting and shutting there AdrianH, certainly makes me want to make some C-3's myself. Don't actually recall noticing the C-16. But I guess I must have it on DVD.
AdrianH wrote:No, you're not seeing double, and it's not Photoshop trickery.The Saturn C-16 appeared in season 5 and "Crusade" and is a double-length version of the standard freighter (which B5 Scrolls calls the Saturn C-8).
For the model, one freighter lost its engine and another lost its bridge (which duly went onto the front of the second Saturn-C3). To connect the two hulls I needed the same block which appears midway along the hull of a single freighter, which came from the now redundant hull of the freighter whose cargo pallets and bridge went to the C-3. One 8-pallet piece was cut into two 4-pallet parts, one of which went to each end of the model. The remaining 8-pallet unit went into the middle, supporting the hull joint to make the model stronger as well as providing a mounting point for the base.
