Of possible note: apart from the signatures and dates (Adam's is in Draftsman, which seemed appropriate, and I forget the name of the font Muramune's is in) and the Chinese characters (it says Dìqiú, if you couldn't guess), I used the Authentic Blueprint Fonts that come as part of the install of Siemens Solid Edge ST6, the CAD/solid modeling software we use in the School of Engineering Technology at the University of Maine. The narrower font that most of the title block is in is Solid Edge ISO, while the large print above it is in Solid Edge ANSI. This is a stylebook foul I would be docked points for in an SET CAD/M class, but I thought it looked best aesthetically.

It's Revision G because there were six preliminary images before the final version of the original color Phoenix Queen illo arrived. I may put together an "evolution of" gallery page/post for that, like the old one for the design of the One-Hit Wonder. The drawing size is a made-up Future Size, but someone more interested in these matters than I am could work out how large the sheet would be based on the Queen's dimensions and the scale provided. (At that scale, the full-size drawing would be such that the side and top views of the ship would be about two feet long, so, a pretty hefty print.)

The geometry of the title block is based on the one I had to design for submitting my coursework drawings in MET 121 and MET 126, the two introductory-level Mechanical Engineering Technology classes in which Solid Edge is used (including the "tolerances unless otherwise stated" block, which has only had "INCHES" replaced with "STANDARD UNITS").

I am, as you may have guessed, a bit of a blueprint nerd.
