Sternbach runabout concept

[TheSeeker]

All things considered modeling a ship sounds like more fun. Good luck with the operation!

 

[Griffworks]

Awesome work!

If it turns out looking as good at the pics promise, I hope someone makes this as a phyiscal model in 1/72 scale.

Good luck on your surgery!

Don't know when the next update will be, I'm in hospital tomorrow for a hernia op.

Been there - done that; don't push yourself (it's tempting, but you pay for it! Again, been there, and done that, too! )

Looking good with the model - can't wait to see the interior, too :thumbsup:

 

[biotech]

Home now. probably not going to model for a few days yet.

Thanks for the comments.

 

[biotech]

Well maybe just a little..

 

[Griffworks]

LOL You're addicted to it, methinks!

 

[biotech]

Going to rest for a bit now.

 

[TheSeeker]

Lookin' good!

 

[biotech]

THanks!

 

[Magic04]

The model looks sweet! Hope you're feeling better.

BTW, I was in York a couple of weeks ago on vacation...beautiful country.

 

[biotech]

York's about an hours drive from me.

Wery interesting. I'm not really up on this craft, but the excellent job you've done cannot be denied. Very nice.

Looks like a hot rod runabout.


Hmm, someone should do an episode about that ...



No, honestly, that looks really cool.

 

[biotech]

Thanks!

 

[biotech]

Got a few more bits to add underneath, but its mostly done.

 

[Bernard Guignard]

Very nice interpretation keep up the great work

 

[Praetor]

Great looking realization of this ship!

What (if anything) do you plan on identifying the aft-facing bussards' function as? And I think making the area around the cockpit windows crimson to match the top bits would look nice, myself.

Keep it up!

 

[biotech]

I just model the things, I leave it up to other people to work out what all the bits do!

I don't know. Those nacelles look a little thin to me ...

 

[Patrickivan]

I thought the nacelles looked a little thin at first too. But the more I look at it, the more I like how the elements evolved from the original series shuttle into this one- and one of those elements are the nacelles. I kind of like that this is a future version with SMALLER nacelles. Kinda makes sense that some things actually got smaller as the technology improved over 100 years.

I love this ship- the Runabout from DS9 was clunky. It had so many lumps and crap on it, you'd think the design team was on future space crack.

AS for the backward facing bussards on the bottom, like the other transport shuttle they had it on, I just take it with a grain of salt that it's a design element that just LOOKS like them... There's only so much we can rationally explain away.
