Looking for a pic....

[Dayton Ward]

Hiya,

I'm hoping one of the regulars can help me with this. I'm looking for a pic which I believe was created by a board member a few years ago. It's a "top view" of the NX-01, but it's been given a "TOS-style" makeover, with the white-ish hull paint and markings in the TOS style.

Does this ring any bells?

I used the pic as inspiration for a make-over I gave a Polar Lights NX-01 model a couple of years back, but since then I've lost track of the pic itself.

Sounds like something Vektor did and, if memory serves, it may even have been before the premier of Enterprise. The version I'm thinking of was a sketch from the top and, at some point, he did a view from the bottom that showed that the top side was just a facade with an underside made of 2 x 4s (or similar.)

I'll see if I can find a copy to post in my archived material, but perhaps Vek will see this and post the original.

Just a thought.

Good luck, Mr. W.

You may be thinking of the "How would you re-imagine the NX-01 Enterprise?" thread I started in this Art forum back in April of 2007; there was a drawing posted there that fits your description.

This the one?

OOOOO, good possibilities all.

And thank you, Klaus, that's exactly the one I was thinking of at least. Hope one of these is what Dayton Ward had in mind.

Wow, talk about a blast from the past. That was right around the time I first joined TBBS. In fact, I think it was a Google search for what the new Enterprise might look like that first led me to some speculative drawings/models in the TBBS Art forum. What a long strange trip it's been.

Yes! That's the one, as submitted by Flux Capacitor. Thanks!

(Taking nothing away from Vektor, of course. I've been a fan of his work for years, and I remember seeing that NX-01 sketch when he first posted it. Laughed then, laughed again this morning. )

Thanks again to everyone for the help!

The way you described it, I had a feeling that was the one.
