Looking ahead.
I don't recognize this ship. I like the design, just don't recognize it.
TAS made real....

It's seen in "The Time Trap" floating amongst the sea of ships. I believe it also is seen in "The Jihad" orbiting the Vedalan homeworld.
Just so you know this is the one I am currently working on. I made an error upthread—this is one of the designs that appears again (albeit coloured differently) in “The Jihad.” The onscreen version differs slightly in detail from this drawing, but it still lacks a lot of surface detail leaving me room for interpretation. The evident nacelles suggest other races also developed cylindrical warp nacelles while some alien designs sport no apparent warp nacelles at all. That this design appears later in “The Jihad” suggests that the developers of this ship type might be one of the other races featured in the episode besides the Vedala.

Yes, I will be adding some extra detailing so it doesn't look so spare. Mind you I am also keeping in mind that even if something like this were made for TOS there is a limit to what they would have done with a miniature. Mind you TOS did have some decently detailed miniatures besides the Enterprise. The Galileo, the Klingon battle cruiser, the Romulan Warbird, deep space station K7 and the Botany Bay were all decently detailed miniatures for their purpose.

First pass at rendering to get a feel for it. There remain details to be added and final colouring has not been decided. I am generally pleased, but there are a couple of details on this I'm thinking of changing, particularly the pods set above the main hull--I want to modify their shape.
That right there is epic! I've always loved this ship and a few others from the triangle!First pass at rendering to get a feel for it.

I'm not sure what else to do here. If this was an actual TOS miniature there is a limit to how much detailing they would have done given the ship would likely have been seen only briefly even if it did make a repeat appearance in anither episode. But we are indulging in a bit of fantasizing that they would have even bothered to make something like this.
Some type of specialized survey ship?
Maybe all of the pods contain sensor packages that have to be held away from the warp nacelles...?

I might have put a small shuttlebay in the rear under the impulse engine along with some other equipment, like a tractor beam emitter or something. But yeah, other than that, there’s not a whole lot you could do with it.
