Jayru (JSnaith's) 3D Trek

[JSnaith]

That is stunning!

Thank you - this may become my fav Trek build :-)

Nacelles, Pylons, Neck and Secondary Hull are done and locked for the moment. Next I'll start detailing that complex saucer!



Sharp-eyed folks may notice the reg number - NCC-176-B. I know, it doesn't fit the on-screen stuff - but I don't care. Anyways, more soon!

Yeah this is sweet. Always liked the Akira/NX catamaran style. This is a very cool addition to that sub-genre of shipbuilding.

I'm taking a short break from working on the Columbia Class to sort something else out. Star Trek is turning 60 this year. I've been alive for most of that, not quite as long, but most of it. Trek was my introduction to science fiction. Yeah, Star Wars came along, and I was living in the USA in 1977, so I got to see the original film when it first came out. But it didn't hold me like Trek has, it hasn't stayed with me over the years.

Star Trek, especially The Original Series, has stayed with me throughout. Yes, it's dated these days - but it is what it is; a reflection of the era it was made. The six movies that followed are also reflections of their times, as well, and were a nice addition to the wider Trek universe. They paved the way for Star Trek to return to the small screen again, and gave birth to a franchise that's still growing (maybe not so much at the moment) today.

So it only seems right to return to the beginning and celebrate the origins of the show we all love: the Constitution Class - no refit, A, B, C, D, E, F or bloody G (or J for that matter, lol). The ship that fired our imaginations and drew us into this bold new universe. Yes, I have done it - but building it revealed a dark secret: the ship is woefully underscaled. So, lets begin again with a rescaled 400m long Connie, one where the shuttle bay can actually fit the shuttles:



More on this soon.

 

[B.J.]

Any particular reason for 400m, instead of the length of 442m that SNW uses?

Because I can stick to the number of decks listed, just allow a little more room between them, as seen in ENT, without having to reconfigure the ship completely.

You are less than sixty? You are young. I just turned 66 on April 20th.

When my Grandfather turned 75, he was asked if he was old yet...

He said "No!", old was ten years older than that.

When he turned 85, he still wasn't old, because old is always ten years away.

He died a couple of months before his 93rd.

Age is relative; I may only be 55, but I have the heart of a 90-year-old, lol. Wish the 90-year-old that had my 55-year-old heart would give it back...

Age is also a state of mind. I try to keep my mind young and fresh (and active).
