When can I buy the Art Asylum version of this?

Doubtful on Art Asylum but there still are plans to do models/model kits of this ship for sure.

Very graceful.

You are doing a great job, buddy! Thanks for the dedication and the skill making our girl a contender with the ships of the line!

I agree :thumbsup:

Well, it's not much, but I figured I had to show something to prove that this project is still alive.

With the way my schedule is these days, I can't make any promises, but I am working hard to put together a whole batch of new WIPs before the end of this weekend.

Stay tuned.

That looks cool, Vektor! Starting to shape up now on the hood.

judexavier · March 27 2008, 02:48 PM

Vector, Man o man. What a killer, wonderful ship. What blows me away is your design skill, with all the related elements echoed throughout the design. And the little details are fantastic. One thing I kept thinking of as I read through this is "what a wonderful/memorable "character-icon" this ship would make in a television series or movie. It really stands out and defines a whole new design ethic to the Trek world.
Maybe it's the flowing curves and proportions. I could see a Vance toolkit based on this! That would be fun.
I have to agree with another post, something to the effect that "Star Trek fans make better ships than the TV/movie people do."

Outside of the StarTrek universe, I'd love to see your designs for a sports car, or boat, or a coffee maker for that matter!

Awsome work.

Got quite a bit done on the primary hull this weekend.

Some of you might find it interesting to know that the hull panels were created by extruding and beveling the gaps between them inward, not by extruding the panels outward. Either way, it's a tedious pain in the butt, but probably not anywhere near as bad as the windows are going to be.

Very SWEEEEET!!! I bet the little blue guy is happy he finally gets to take a break! LOL

Nope. If you look closely, you'll see that the Little Blue Guy is still on-duty next to the bridge module.

CaptainRoop · April 7 2008, 10:28 PM

Wow you are right he is next to the bridge.

Glad to see the Secondary Navigational Deflector back up on the ship, I missed it from the previous version so long ago. Now if we get the 2 Wyvern V Anti-Recoil Proto-Cannons on the bow of the ship, it will be nearly complete to what it was before the changes again.

Almost time for another spin around animation

or maybe the standard 5 view shots, front, back, side, top and bottom all in one pic, again after the cannons are added.

Just thinking out loud, post what ever you like, I am content whatever it is
