This is a cardboard model of the Shuttlepod El-Baz as
seen on Star Trek - the next generation.

This model was constructed by Ulrich Prahn. He made the design
and most of the decorations.

I made some additional decorations and the conversion to
postscript. I also wrote the instructions, and since I'm
not a native English speaking person, they probably look
kind of awkward.

We gathered the data for this model mainly from the blueprint 
and the pictures of the shuttlepod, which are included in 
Starlog's "Star Trek - The Next Generation Technical Jounal".
We also used a videotape of the TNG episode "Time Squared".

The copyright to this layout is by Ulrich and me. 
Please make as many copies and printouts as you wish
and give them to friends and acqaintances.
 
Please do NOT give away copies of the Postscript files 
without the instructions and this readme text!

The cormmercialization of this model is explicitely
FORBIDDEN!! That means you are NOT allowed to make profit
from selling the files or printed sheets!
