The Drayan Vessel from VOY: "Innocence", was a further redress of the original Talarian Observer. There is a good article about
the history of this studio model at ex-astris-scientia.org. Because the original studio model most probably had its mounting rod for filming on the underside, each time we see the vessel it shows the model upper side with the bridge dome. In the case of the Tamarian Depp Space Cruiser, the shots only show the underside of the alien ship during the episode, and so we see the bridge dome there. Bernd from Ex-Astris-Scientia assumed, that the unseen top side of the ship therefore doesn't have the same structure, just like the filming model. Each subsequent appearance of the ship, including its further modifications, are only shown with the bridge, regardless if the ship is shown from above or from below. The T'Lani Cruiser even is explicitly shown from both sides, each sporting the bridge dome. Therefore, it would be possible to assume that it has this structure on both sides. Eaglemoss also followed this assumption with their model of the Tamarian ship, and in order to not having to make a bridge down and bridge up version, i also decided to keep it that way for all versions of this ship. This would only contradict one scene of the Bothan vessel from VOY, where the ship was shown from the side, and it didn't have a bride dome on the bottom, but as the ship in this particular episode is an illusion anyway and just meant to be a generic vessel, i decided to ignore this. The Drayan version was the last modification of this model and only used this one time. The episode hardy allows to determine the exact size, maybe a similar length as the USS Voyager (344m). I therefore keep it at the same 350m as the T'Lani version.
