Looks like solid work in progress there. I've long wished that I had that particular skill set.

TheSeeker · April 8 2011, 01:40 PM

Looking great so far.

It is extremely rare to see a model with so much originality, one that I don't think would have been better off as a 3D model.

It pleases me to no end to be able to say that it almost looks like an actual prototype for an actual model kit, or a filming prop.

now that takes talent
really nice piece

MadMan1701A · April 9 2011, 02:15 PM

Whoa, that looks incredible? When you're finished with it, do you mind if I build a 3D version? I think this would would great against the New Enterprise.

REL · April 9 2011, 05:17 PM

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the kind comments.

MadMan1701A that would be fine with me, when the model is complete I'll take ortho pictures.

To someone that asked the design process, I just drew a quick sketch, but for the most part I'm making it up as I go with no plans, haha.

To answer the questions of what it's made of. It's sheet styrene over a plexiglass frame.

Stunning as always. Nice to see you took a unique path and didn't go for a Vor Cha take.

Herkimer Jitty · April 10 2011, 07:18 AM

Holy Damn.

I like how you played off of the manta ray looks of the original Jefferies design, and made it nice and sleek, like the original D7.

This is awesome!

I have a minor suggestion for when you get down the road a piece with this:

One of the more interesting choices Nick Meyer made in ST6 was that the Klingons were the kind of guys who'd take bits and pieces of captured/destroyed enemy vessels and mount them on the exterior of the ship. It was essentially invisible in the film, but to be honest, I thought it made a lot of sense. Sort of like fighter pilots "keeping score" on the exterior of their aircraft -- only with a more Klingon feel to it.

Anyway, something to think about. It may not work with this design.

Pretty remarkable all around.
