This
kit-bashed model was based on a side-view design published in
the Deep Space Nine Technical Manual, and a difficult-to-see
miniature in a Deep Space Nine episode.

The saucer section,
dorsal section, and nacelles were from the Enterprise-A kit, The
platform between the nacelles was made from sheet styrene. This
model was built before photos of the miniature were available.
What is now known is that the platform connecting the nacelles
was kit-bashed from the two pylons from Monogram's U.S.S.
Voyager kit.
Since
the miniature was without a name and number, I was free to
choose a name and registry for myself. The ship was named for
the famous Neptune Theatre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The
ship's registry number comes from the theatre's street address.

Flat Black, Copper, Medium Gray, Sky Blue, Gloss Yellow, and
Zinc Chromate.
The name and registry decals are from a set from Web Games.

The
dedication plaque of the Triton Class Neptune. Triton is the
largest moon of the planet Neptune. The quote is a line from a
song that seems to signify the unending nature of exploration.
