[Forbin]

Finished her last week, spent a few days making the pictures pretty.

Be patient with my website, the servers had a nervous breakdown over the weekend and performance is still spotty.

Nice work... I'm still more partial to the Ariel, but I like this design a lot too. (If we were to "retcon" the original McQuarrie painting in, I'd say it was this ship, rather than the Ariel.)

She's a beauty!

Wallpapers, please.

Oooooooooo.... Me Likey. Nice job again (as we have grown accustomed). :thumbsup:

 

[Vance]

You! Give me your skill!

 

[Kaiser]

Wow! that looks great!

I hope you do a Technical drawing of that

 

[ThomastheCat]

Fantastic as always! You do such a great job in the details that really sell these ships and make them "fit" better than a lot of the official stuff.

I actually can honestly say that she's a great vessel, not ugly either, great work Forbin.

 

[Forbin]

Tanks guys! *blush*

I like it. I'm wondering about the circular hatch forward from the connector for the stand. In the finished model, does that indicate the location of the warp core?

Honestly, I put no thought at all into it!

globally binky!

However, that circle is under to open void at the front of the hull, so, no.

Fantastic work Looking forward to some technical Schematics of this beauty.

Thanks a lot for the wallpapers!

Forbin, I've been a fan of your kitbashes for years, and this is another worthy and excellent model. :thumbsup:

I still don't much care for the design but damn if you don't make it kinda work. From one or two angles, she actually looks somewhat graceful. Very fine as usual.

 

[USS Kongo]

She's a thing of beauty, John!

From a practical standpoint, the enlarged lower hull actually makes sense--for storage, shuttle bays, and other good stuff. I love it.

Must...resist urge...to copy kitbash.

Oh, you messed up the link to the shuttlecraft from the Artemis's tech page.
