Destroyer Update

The last image is 1600x1280. It is an improvement :techman:

OK, got it.

The direct link in the Photobucket window produced an image that was 1024 by 819.

But downloading saved it as 1600 by 1280.

In fact, this behavior is the case for all the other posted images too! So, by choosing to download them, instead of reading the direct link given by Photobucket, one gets 1600 by 1280 images of all the previous drawings too. Why Photobucket does this, I don't know.

I apologize if this has caused any inconvenience to anybody, but I'm glad at least to have straightened out the Photobucket behavior.

In any case, I now have 1600 by 1280 resolution for all of the originally posted drawings, which is more than adequate for me.

Thank you!

Great! I'm going to go ahead with my plans for up-sizing to 34x22 (D size) for all others to follow.

Thanks for helping to straighten this out all.

Going to go through and download all the views. Looks great and I love the additions to the classic design.

Thank you for sharing your hard work!

It has a great sense of flow. Nothing tacked on.
Outstanding work!

Now for a heavy cruiser...
I've got one "on the boards", a lot going on as of late so progress is slow. The difficulty is in trying to capture the gracefulness of the original and incorporate a newer look... At the same time.

What I tried to do here. (second image, lower ship) http://www.trekbbs.com/threads/publiusrs-starship-designs-large-images.260404/ (now fixed by a mod..THANK YOU)

was to take the even longer, more full bodied Dreadnaught hull by Aridas Sophia and widen the saucer. I fell down on the nacelle supports and the neck. Some things don't look as nice on paper as they do in your imagination.

The idea is to make the heavy cruiser...more...of what it was.

You might try that but with your own nacelles--your own lines. Keep a nice teardrop secondary hull--don't make it too flat on the bottom--make the saucer like your destroyer--but a tad wider.

This should keep the swan look.
 
Thanks Publiusr appreciate your input! Sat down last night and ritzed around with the pylons/nacelles some I think this is a key element to the design, may do some more tonight. You stuff looks pretty good by the way!
Regards,
Chuck
