December Art Challenge - Klaus

Well I'm going to have a go at the warp-capable version of Santa's sleigh, here's a start:



w/cargo containers lol...

 

[Klaus]

Here's something a bit more sleigh-like...

 

[Venardhi]

Kind of loses the 'drawn by. . .' feel having the nacelles be the skis. Maybe you could have a bunch of nacelles (4 perhaps?) coming off the front and going out to the sides a bit to make it look like they're pulling it along rather than pushing?

(you could add a fifth, front and center, with a red bussard cap even)

I agree that it's a shame to lose the 'drawn by...' feel. An alternative might be to keep the nacelles as skis but have the cargo containers in front of the sleigh, in place of the reindeer...

Great modelling though.

If I can get my hands on some batteries before Christmas, I'll take a picture of the sketch I did.

Here's a taste: It's a starship sized cargo shop, with 8 nacelles..

 

[Klaus]

The drawn by nacelles idea is an excellent one, I'm going to pursue that...

I kinda want to do several different ships for various religions, maybe even some xeno-religions. Anybody know of some good Star Trek religions?


As far as the other Terran religions, I was going to do something like Santa Clause (robot), Kwanzaa-bot, and Hanukkah Zombie from Futurama.

Well, as far as Trek religions go, I think Bajoran and Klingon is what we know best, though there are plenty of one-shot foreheads of the week that I can't remember for the life of me.

OK, here's an update... I did one with 9 nacelles but it seemed a bit too much lol, so I went for this:
