Planet of the Titans U.S.S. Enterprise

LordSarvain · October 24 2010, 01:18 AM

I've been working on this for a while now and thought I'd share it over here. It's based on the Ralph McQuarrie & Ken Adam designs for the Enterprise for Planet of the Titans. Obviously I've gone my own direction with the details but I've tried to retain some elements to keep it at least faintly similar to it's original designs. So after a lot of wondering what if this is what I came up with. There's some more pics at my deviantart page http://lordsarvain.deviantart.com/

Pretty. More please.

The Lensman · October 24 2010, 03:38 AM

WOW! That is really awesome! Way superior to the actual design and definitely Trek like, unlike the original.

AudioBridge · October 24 2010, 03:47 AM

Never cared for that design much...until now! Looks fantastic. Keep it up!

Warped9 · October 24 2010, 03:50 AM

Yep. Now it works.

I love this.

Admiral Buzzkill · October 24 2010, 04:38 AM

Yeah, me too.

Bernard Guignard · October 24 2010, 12:53 PM

Very Nicely done I like it a lot

Gul Re'jal · October 24 2010, 01:10 PM

Nice!
The hull reminds me of a Concorde aeroplane? Was it your inspiration?

Dac · October 24 2010, 02:25 PM

I've seen this over at SFM for a few years, and all that time i've absolutely adored it.

This baby deserves to be animated.

Albertese · October 24 2010, 06:07 PM

That's beautiful! I can't wait to see it colored. I can easily see this as a 1701-F or -G.

Sarvek · October 24 2010, 06:41 PM

Fantastic work. Can't wait to see more.

RedSpar · October 24 2010, 08:16 PM

LordSarvain, this is a wonderfully executed update of the rather clunky original McQuarrie design. You took a turd and pulled off the impossible. You polished it.

Fantastic work - I love it!

Admiral Buzzkill · October 25 2010, 01:38 AM

This is great, but there was nothing wrong with the Adams/McQuarrie ship. It simply wasn't what trekkies were used to.
