I got a kick out of this Probert concept

[Patrickivan]

Because I did a very similar ship for the Titan design contest. I never entered it, but it's been posted here in the past.

Hmm- for some reason my work comp won't let me link my photobucket image.

Here's the address to my photobucket ablum for now.

Now my ship was inspired on an idea based on the delta insignia shape. I thought it was a nice shape for a shape.

Apparently so did Probert. I came across a sketch he did shown on Mark Kingsnorth Sci Fi Art web site... I'll get the image when I get home. I don't want to violate image posting rules.

The image is a very similar Probert signed delta shaped ship (dated 05/19/10).

Has anyone else seen this and have any thoughts on this ship?

I've planned to GoogleSU it, but it's a complicated ship so I've been reluctant. But I'm re-inspired after seeing someone who I respect come up with the same idea as I did. Not that it's not possible- after all, put enough monkeys in a room with typewriters and at least a couple are bound to pound out "is", "at", "to"... et c.

Err, you got a link to the probert sketch at all?

Nifty! I likey. It gives me ideas. EVIL ideas.

Of course, one shouldn't expect less from Andrew Probert, but he still manages to amaze.

Thats Awesome Thanks for the share

and if Mr. Probert is seeing this : Thank you Sir for all the Work you've done for Star Trek and other Genre's and Thanks for being the inspiration for many Ship Designers dead and alive for the Star Trek Fandom since the 1970's

I did something similar m'self a while ago, as well, though my approach was more horseshoe than Starfleet delta. And a bit less bold.

This feels like a scout or tug. I certainly like the overal idea- but then again, I'm biased.
