Help me visualize this.....

[Ian Keldon]

Damn now that you showed me that picture I remember that I use to read a lot of comics in my younger days
you know if you federationize that ship on s smaller scale
use the Burke class frigate hull and engines it would make
a nice heavy frigate or Destroyer

Not sure which one you're referring to there, but I went ahead and finished it...had to construct a front view for the aft section to do it...

I'll see if I can tinker it into something closer to what Castellan wanted later.

 

[Ian Keldon]

Later came sooner than I thought it would...

Awesome designs in here ^_^

 

[The Axeman]

The design you are describing is pretty close to a design my mate Reverend came up with a while ago. I'm damned if I can remember the name of it though, I'll have to go trawl the archives to see if I can find it.

now paint it candy-apple red and put a pool and cabana on top of the middle section.

no, wait, that'd be ridiculous. purple, with a sombrero.

 

[The Castellan]

that's about 95% of what I saw in the dream. shorten the neck by about 25% and it's there.

 

[Ian Keldon]

Castellan, how about the nacelles? Are they out too far? I have one where they are with the shorter neck and one with them more tucked in.

Tell me which one you want me to post.

If you can have them maybe closer, it might work, in the dream, the ship was seen on an angle....they pretty much were close inward, akin to the Romulan TOs ship.

 

[Ian Keldon]

What the heck...here's both versions

Extended

"Tucked"

 

[The Castellan]

I think you did it.

I was talking about this one in a smaller parts

 

[The Castellan]

forgive my ignorance, but where/how can one make pictures like those, anyhow?

All it takes is Vances Toolkits and a Paint program unless your me and do it with a Computer aided drafting program. Try it you will like it.

 

[The Castellan]

I just wonder what my ship would be good for, what function could it work for?

 

[Kaiser]

Looks like a good cruiser or Exploration type ship IMHO

I was going to ask you what it was doing in your dream, but, maybe that's something you don't want to share in a public forum..

I would recommend PaintDotNet personally. It's free, much more powerful and versatile than regular Paint, and has a more powerful conversion algorithm so you can downconvert from BMP or PNG to JPEG or GIF with a lot fewer artifacts.

As for the ship itself...after thinking about it it's a little "lightweight" to even be a light cruiser...I'd say a heavy scout or some sort of survey vessel.

Just coasting along.
