Here is a little of what I have been working on
My first attempt was just a refit saucer atop Aridas Sophia's Balson:
I saw a wider saucer on the web and thought that balanced things out
Another attempt showing Balson, the refit, and the USS Elegance NCC-1979
Still another with the Octavius from a FASA site with taller nacelles
What if the Ariel were to lose its star-drive, and the saucer had to be salvaged?
The side view isn't what I had in my mind--although I do like the over hang towards the rear of the saucer. The plan view is much better:
Several in a row...
From a FASA site (I had nothing to do with this one)
Some of you may be familiar with the DREADNAUGHT! from the novel of the same name. There is even a website with some line drawings on it.
I thought it a bit too tall and comical--so had it squeezed:
Here, I modified a tool-kit saucer for a lean and hungry look. Those are supposed to be dual impulse decks--one to either side of the central (aft?) nacelle
Two fer. A simpler dreadnought and a re-draw an artist made of a Decker class with Devonshire nacelle mounts.
This maybe? http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/USS_Magellanic_Clouds
Excalibur STO attempts. Bits and pieces all over the web
Some original "art"
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
Seven
Eight
Nine
Ten
Phase II--I can't find this model--can anyone help?
Very close to Mike Minor's look from the underside
