Is it too deep? I was worried it might be a little deep...
USS Constellation, NCC-1017
- Thread starter MadMan1701A
- Start date
Yeah, it's a little too deep. Maybe trim it down just a tad?
Glad to hear you're feeling better, and excellent work on the model, so far.
Yeah, either trim down the landing deck a bit or pull the doors back a bit.
Just pull the doors back, otherwise the size is just fine. NuTrek seems to prefer large ample shuttlebays with LOTS of shuttles to go around.
Ah, makes sense.
That's what I was thinking...
Thanks. I haven't built anything new yet, but in the meantime, I have some neat renders I just made, comparing this new ship to some of my older models.....
I don't intend for these images to start a Enterprise-Size-War. The TOS Enterprise was built before I started scaling these models relative to anything else, (It's probably 4 years old, by now!) and it just happened to come out this size.
The Constellation is a little "fatter" than the new Enterprise, but shorter. More primitive doesn't always mean smaller, after all.
Here goes...
It was a fun way to kill the morning.

Shouldn't the TOS Enterprise be about half the size you're showing here?
Put a star field behind that render of the 4 ships... and it would make for an excellent wallpaper, methinks!

Well, he did say he made them 4 years ago, so we can let it slide.
I read somewhere on here that the originally intended size of the JJPrise was actually supposed to be 366m. It looks about right considering that the TOS Enterprise was... What? 289m?
Probably... but, like I said, I didn't fix it to match the scale.
I should come up with one that is...
As I said above, if the original E was 289m (that was the original spec, right?) and the new one was designed to be 366m, does that bare out with your models?
OK, I fixed up a few. These should be more or less the right size... I used the diagrams that were being thrown around over in the TrekXI section. I'm going to post those over there, also...
This new ship is huge. I like it.

Sure... I have in my head a really neat fleet shot I want to do.... I just have to get all the ships built first.Looking good, Madman! I agree with Colonel Midnight - you'll have to do wallpapers like this when you're done.
Designed, but scaled up to about 720 meters. MadMan's design looks pretty consistent at this scale.
You know MadMan1701A I really think your Constellation design would also make a good Constitution revamp.

To be fair, the effects shots don't really have her that big (else the Lexington would be over a kilometer, easily) ... it's just studio noise from the same people who fired individuals for setting a comparitive scale. The new 720m number is just penis-envy.
