I prefer you guess what it is, but the name give it all...

Well, considering the the title of the thread says "OT" or "off topic", I don't think this is Star Trek related. Not recognizing the name, I am going to guess it is from anime?
 
Good, good. You are on the right track Rattrap and sojourner. To tell the truth it's not that easy knowing from where that ship comes from, because there is a lot of confusion between Deathshadow, Deathshadow2 and Arcadia. Took me a while to know it was DS2.
Oh...I said too much, did I ?
 
I want to precise something. This is not an exact replica of Albator's ship, but simply a more tone down and modern version.

That's okay, Matsumoto tweaks it almost every time it appears as well. I was wondering about the Albator moniker, then I saw your location- you saw the French dubs, right?

Yes I did saw it in french only, a long time ago (20 years or so...). All the story arc about the Sylvidres is great and the one I prefer. I don't know if the Sylvidres (The women vampire plant) are called that way in english...Anyway, I would like to do an illustration of the Sylvidres one day, and also their ships. But I decided to do DS2 first, hopefully a modern adaptation of it, retaining most of the original design.

Like you said, the ship changes a bit everytime. Even the 3 models kits I found were also differents. Albator was a very stylish anime. I saw an episode last year and even by today standard, it's still quite unique in it's presentation.
 
This is actually an old project I started 6 months ago and I wasn't satisfied with modelling it in Cinema 4D. So I am trying to finish it this time in 3DS max. All the front nose part was imported from Cinema 4D and was made in Nurms. There are 2 versions of Harlock's ship, I chose the DeathShadow 2 because I find it more sexy. This isn't an actual replica either, rather an modern interpretation. In french the ship was name Atlantis.

Update. Change the wing completely. I decide for two engines. Replace the big missile for a big gun (Still need some work on the sides), gonna add two small ones on top of the wing (With a base). Like I said an adaptation... Still not decided on what I will do at the tip of the wings.

I came up with this after drawing. I still need to make the guns and add some little things, but the basic shape for the back decks are there...
