The Tamarian Depp Space Cruiser from TNG: "Darmok", was a redress of the 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 ship, 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, 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 original Tamarian configuration was only used once more on DS9 for a Klaestron ship. But here it is supposed to be way smaller. Ex-Astris-Scientia estimates something around 200m, and so i also give an alternate scale for a size about that.

If you need this in another material, size, or quantity, send me a message. I will try to make it as you need. Be sure to read my comments below my shop page first.
