Jayru (JSnaith's) 3D Trek

Study is coming along nicely... Things I will change, the connecting pylon. I don't like it, it doesn't work for me. Rest is coming along as I would expect -

Comments welcome, more later.

PS: remember this is a study model, a jumping off point for me.
 
I look forward to seeing what you do different than what @Donny did all those years ago. :techman:
Point me to their work, as I would be happy to get some sort of reference material!

And that leads me to a couple of questions:

1/ Do I go full TOS and not bother showing where the phasers and torpedoes launch from, or do I add those ports?

2/ Should the Avenger version have some sort of weapons pod, rather than a sensor pod?

More soon.

Begins here (fair warning, this could be a deep rabbit hole):
to roughly here (about ten pages of WIPs, solicited input, etc.)

I'd say make it a bit more detailed than normal TOS, so add those phasers and launchers.
Weapons pod for the Avenger would make for a nice variant.
 
I like it!
The shape of those pylons reminds me of the yellow bits of the hull pennants on the TOS Enterprise:

I hadn't thought of that... I've been using the Legendary TOS Miranda from Star Trek Online as my reference point.

Thank you! Quick question, did Cryptic use his work to make the Legendary TOS Miranda for Star Trek Online? I ask because they look identical, and that's been my only reference point. Don't want to tread on anyone's toes here.

Yes, I'm thinking that's the way to go as well... Also with the Avenger I may flip things around, so it's close to the original design before Mayer signed the plans the wrong way round (if that's true).


More soon.

I believe so. IIRC, @Donny worked on STO prior to working for Roddenberry Archives.
 
I think... I'm going to abandon doing a TOS Miranda - it has been done, and very well done. Not sure what I could bring to it that would be different, except minor details.

That said, I did a lot of work on the study, and I have a hankering to do something with TOS, so...

How about a Phase II Constitution?

I have the paper plans, so I can use them as a ref.

Comments and thoughts welcome.
 
Well, It's always important to do what feels best for you. I was very curious about your take on a TOS Miranda, but if you feel it's not worth spending your time on while you'd rather do something that gives you more joy, you've got my full support!

And yes, a Phase II Connie would be awesome!

The direction I was going in took a lot from the ship I was seeing in STO, I need to regroup and rethink because that ship has already been done and done well. The Avenger is still a real possibility, however. Maybe a Phase II Avenger... that has nice possibilities.

In terms of doing the Phase II Constitution... In all the years I have been doing 3D work, I have never done a Constitution. Maybe it's time I did :-) I have made a good start, but family drama kept me away from the main rig today, so it will be tomorrow morning when you get some renders.


@JSnaith Now I regret making the comment. Hmm, how about a SNW Miranda?
It's no problem and no issue :-) It's nice to know who the artist is who did the work, and to give them all the kudos they deserve for it.

More soon folks.
