Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

here's hero collector's rundown of the next XL ships, and a couple nice shots of the disco enterprise (again notice it's "star trek the official starships collection" rather than "star trek discovery the official starships collection"):

excelsior is last on the list and labeled NCC-2000 but described as being an experimental ship from star trek III: the search for spock. so who knows which version we'll end up with here?
 
Sadly, like all DIS klingon designs (except the BoP) so far, it's essentially a 2D-design. It looks very intricate and detailed from the top. But if you look at it from the side - there is absolutely no design in height. None at all. It's essentially just the hull details from the top raised to different levels, but it looks esentially identical from the top or the bottom, and like a completely flat line from the side.
Apparently, that was a Bryan Fuller thing. He really, really wanted the ships to be flat. Doug Graves, one of the VFX artists from the original team, mentions it in a comment on this Facebook album showing orthos of the Clarke before it was revamped by the second VFX team.

I really do like that version of the original E.
 
Looks like Facebook's really getting to be a pain-in-the-ass if you aren't logged in. They'll leak personal details from twenty million users, but God forbid someone without an FB account tries to look at a photo marked "public."
I am logged in. Seems like the page is set to private or something.

Here it is:

me too, just wish it fit in with the aesthetics of star trek: discovery. or vice versa.

I'm not too fussed to be honest.
 
You could screen cap the comment with snipping tool (if you're on windows) or something

The design doesn't look that much different, it's missing the underside saucer window, but other then that. Some nice renders tho.

Just came back from seeing doc and I want to know why they gave Ezri that instead of the Aventine. Probably the writers didn’t know about it. Pity no one told them otherwise. Would have made their season 8 episode better if it was the Aventine.
 
Because they didn't want to use someone elses idea.

Not a hard concept to understand.
That could be it. I’d like to think that they didn’t know. :)
Not really a fan of the new ship. Maybe it’s just the way it’s drawn but it looks a bit flimsy
