ty for the kind words, and here's a further mashup, still w/some of Axeman's parts and couple of things from a DAZ build-your-own space station set.

I love this even more... you're on a roll, Klaus!

Santaman · August 24 2012, 12:26 PM

Hey, thats a great design Klaus!

Makes me realize I don't think out of the box enough!

No... No you didn't...

Now get to work!

B.J. · August 24 2012, 04:57 PM

Ooh! I like it!

About the only thing I'd do to improve it would be to change up the nacelles a bit so that they're not a TOS copy, if you're not already planning to do that.

Klaus · August 24 2012, 07:31 PM

ty! I'll see what I can do about the nacelles, those and the deflector dishes are the only things left now from the Connie parts set I began with...

If i were to try it your way, I'd get glue all over my monitor and keyboard!!

...in the meantime, here's a beauty shot:

The ring around the planet looks like an effect in The Matrix. It's all virtual!

It must be -- the ring isn't casting a shadow on the planet nor is a shadow cast on it.

This is great, but I think if it were to really "take off" as a TOS design, it might benefit from using just one dish/pod, and then having the dish/pod and the nacelles offset from each other by intervals of 120º, like forming a triangular arrangement.

YARN · August 26 2012, 05:45 AM

Make those pods into mini saucers. Maybe lose on of the deflector dishes. Make the front end a sphere - a la 2001 (the Discovery) and you've got my vote.

also, more cowbell.

Wingsley · August 27 2012, 05:22 AM
