Andy Probert releases prelim plans for USS Ambassador kit!

[Warped9]

^^ Yep. That should have been the Enterprise C.

 

[Bill Morris]

Very beautiful!

 

[Unicron]

Very nice.

 

[Starlock]

Verdammt! THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!!

Although I am a bit surprised that Andy did not let us know that the design was finished by March.

 

[FalTorPan]

Friggin' awesome. Looks like I need to update this page.

I love the design much better than the Galaxy-Class, and would've preferred this to that in TNG.

In some respects so do I. It's not as visually unbalanced and front heavy as the 1701D.

I love parts of it, but I'm not in love with the pylons and nacelles.

I like this design very much. It's aesthetically beautiful, and my favorite images are:
1.) http://www.modelermagic.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/KG_AP_TR_AMBASSADOR_004.jpg
2.) http://www.modelermagic.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/KG_AP_TR_AMBASSADOR_006.jpg

Very freakin' nice! This should have been the TNG hero ship. Or at least the E-C from "Yesterday's Enterprise." I never did like the Ambassador-class as seen onscreen. Too damned clunky looking.

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I saw this linked elsewhere that people posting in thus thread might've missed. It appears that the Ambassador 3D model was finally completed.

VERY impressive! Are there stats on it (length, width, height, etc)?

Bumping up the thread-
I visited the site Amazon.com for the Ships of the Line 2012 calendar. The Ambassador-class starship is featured prominently in this calendar. There are three illustrations where this class is shown, with a special insert comparing this ship to another class. This special insert features Probert's Ambassador.

OMG, that Planck-Class is freaking ugly... jeez, why do they need to let all these butt-fugly, over-greebled, fanwank designs into the calendars every year? That one image pretty much soils an otherwise decent calendar.

Nice. I love that the 3D boards have kind of become the testbed for SotL. I get a warm fuzzy when I see the names on the calendar every month.

Looks nice...

One comment, though... Did they re-use an image from an earlier calendar in this one? I'd swear I'd seen that "Tomorrow is Yesterday" image previously... if it's new, it's almost indistinguishable from a prior image, anyway...

 

[Tallguy]

It's one of DEG3D's. http://www.trekbbs.com/showpost.php?p=3462562&postcount=241

The "original" was one of Mojo's from waaaay back. As I recall, he used an actual stock pic of the F-104 fighter composited with the CG Enterprise.

A little surpirsed they selected that, there's plenty of other scenes that could be re-created...

[sojourner]

Looks like they are using Deg's version.

It's a good model but unbalanced in many ways. Beautiful 3D work nonetheless. But the Real Ambassador make more design sense.
