Someone did on Scifi-meshes.
Not the best representation, but still, it has been done.

Re: Origianl NX-01

That's just one of several original NX-01 designs, if I remember correctly. One of the others looked a good deal like the later "Delta-warp" ship.

Another NX design:

@JuanBolio: I believe you're thinking of one of Eaves designs for a pre-NX class that was used in the intro.

Re: Origianl NX-01

I can't say I'm too keen on that design. It wouldn't look out of place post-Nemesis.

No, I know the ship you're talking about:

The design I'm thinking of was just a sketch of the same kind as you and the OP posted, and appeared next to them in a compilation image of might-have-been NX-01s. There's a small possibility that I might be thinking of the design you posted, actually, but I seem to recall a distinctly triangular hull.

Edit:

Bingo! This is it:

Don't know if this was an idea for the NX-01 or a different ship, but when I first saw it it was presented with the other two designs, and possibly one or two more, already posted here.

Thanks!

A good first pass, but appears to have taken some liberties of their own (details & proportions).

I wish the show would of at least shown something similar to this design near end of the series - to give a hint as to whats coming on the horizon.

I got to say I like this designed better the what is on the show. I can see why they didn't use it. I think the ship is at lits 15 to 18 decks.

Re: Origianl NX-01

It doesn't fit in as a predecessor to the TOS Enterprise, but it is a gorgeous design. I would not have minded seeing this as J.J.'s Enterprise.

Re: Origianl NX-01

i used to have a link to the thread where this thing was made, but have lost track of it over the years (i think it was on scifi-meshes.com, but could have been elsewhere). i most recently saw it here

should be the 2nd image

Re: Origianl NX-01

Maybe/Hopefully MadMan1701A would be gracious enough to utilize his talents and take a stab at a new interpretation.

Re: Origianl NX-01

a couple years ago i was working on a version of it myself, trying to extrapolate a 2ndry portion based on the design charactersistics of the already existing hull, i didnt get very far though.





one day when i have more time i hope to finish it (and yes its not smoothed intentionally, i was trying to somewhat imitate the plating effect on the saucer by giving more harsh edges to the curving between decks)

Re: Origianl NX-01

on a related note, i cant recall that there was, but was there ever any ship seen that was a sort of a bridge between the Phoenix and the Enterprise-NX?

ive recently been working on a sort of next step in the evolution after the Phoenix, a sort of scoutish type prototype, based on a refited Space Shuttle. striping the wings and main engines, and retro-fitting the cargo bay to house the warp core, etc.. i dont have any images to show on it, all my sketches are by hand at this point.

does anyone have any suggestions on how such a craft would look?

This is one of his ideas for Enterprise's opening sequence ships.

Look at his blog entry for more:

Phoenix, then this:

Then this:

Then the NX... basically.

Well there is Eaves' beautiful but unused concept for the NX-Alpha/Beta for 'First Flight':

Phoenix, then this:
http://johneaves.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/ff5.jpg?w=665&h=395

thats kind of exactly what i was thinking, except instead of using the titan style modification from the phoenix, moving up to a shuttle modification with similar aft-end configuration as shown there.

i was thinking of doing it maybe more TMP style however!

Cool thread.

There are a couple things here I haven't seen before.

Ooh, I really like that one! I wouldn't have minded that as JJ's Enterprise...
