That's just 3D, then there's my unfinished art projects and writing projects.
But ho-hum, here it's 3D stuff, specifically Trek.

Okay, some of you may not have thought about the differences between the in universe Enterprise-C, and the Probert's Enterprise-C...
At least not in depth.
The Enterprise-C ad depicted in 'Yesterday's Enterprise', was a down and fast build. Therefore very Industrial in nature. Like the Borg cube is completely Industrial - no grace at all, just a petroleum refinery...
In other words the depicted has problems. It is like the Borg trying to channel the Art of Federation design...
Now about the word 'metaphor' see the immediate paragraph above. It is making a comparison between two unlike things to make a point.
Jayru, does wonderful work. I wasn't criticizing him.
Nor was I criticizing the Light Works...
Just noticing that if in the real world Probert's Enterprise-C should actually work better.

Just a quick FYI, I never thought for a second you were criticising me. So no worries ;-)
One of my thoughts is what would have happened if twenty-four plus Ptolomy class transport-tugs , with colonization equipment showed up in Battlestar Galactica 2003...
Consider that the Ptolomy would have the same arrangement of Shuttlecraft hangars as the Saladin class Booklet of General Plans way back in 1980...
Let's see. Double the number of passengers, 1,000 versus 500...
This would form a significant increase in the probability of survival of the human species.
Phasers...the senior Captain would describe the Ptolomy's lightly armed...
But able to destroy any ship that the Colonials would know.

Given Trek ships have an FTL system called Warp Drive, and the BSG ships could only "jump", the Trek ships would be able to outrun any other ship, just by jumping to warp 1, plus they have shields, another things that didn't exist in the BSG universe. So I would say they would have a tactical advantage.
I have put a hanger bay on the Ptolomy and Saladin, I built it into the deck 2/3 structure at the back.
More soon.
I like the Idea of using TMP Chairs in the shuttle a later version of a classic design 
I have to admit, I was a bit lazy and just used the Trek chairs I had to hand. I may do the TOS style bucket seats.I like the Idea of using TMP Chairs in the shuttle a later version of a classic design
More soon.
For as clunky as some of the Franz Joseph and FASA non-canon ships could be, I still love them. Some aren’t as pretty as others. But in my mind those ships are just more utilitarian in design than the more graceful looking ships.And... the Ptolomy Class is done!
Last updates of the day, comments always welcome, more soon :-)
The thing about the Saladin and Ptolemy Classes is that they are canon. If you watch Star Trek The Motion Picture and Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan they are shown as computer graphics in the background. And Gene's golden rule was "what's seen on screen is canon..."
Soz for lack of updates, been a busy day legally. More soon.
And the Federation-class dreadnaught was shown prominently (as several Eaglemoss-scaled models on display at Guinan's bar) in PIC S2, despite their amusing back-peddling to the contrary after the season opener aired. There was literally nothing else they could have been, so yeah, canon there too:
I really wish Eaglemoss did get the licensing from FJ's estate to do the models for real, but c'est la vie...

The Class F Shuttle; built and ready for livery:
I have not built this one to plans, but rather to a human scale where the inside and outside fit together. This makes for a slightly larger shuttle than seen on screen, but also means it's rationalised.
Comments welcome, more soon :-)
